No. 25 Furman stays unbeaten with 74-60 win over SC Upstate

SPARTANBURG - Jordan Lyons had 20 points and Noah Gurley added 15 points and six rebounds to lead No. 25 Furman to a 74-60 win over South Carolina Upstate on Saturday.

The surprise mid-major of the season, the Paladins (10-0) got through the program's first-ever week in the AP Top 25 unscathed after a slow start.

Upstate (2-8) led 34-30 at half and appeared ready to have the crowd in its cozy gym explode after Malik Moore stole a pass on Furman's first possession of the second half. But he missed a fast-break dunk and Gurley made a layup and a free throw to start a 24-5 run.
