Freshman Jake Davis recorded his third double-double of the year with a season-high 22-points, 12-rebounds performance Friday evening in helping the Emory men's basketball team to a win at Case Western Reserve.  The Eagles notched their sixth straight win and raised their overall record to 19-4, 10-2 in the University Athletic Association, following an 83-64 decision over the Spartans who fell to 8-15 overall, 4-8 in the UAA.

Davis sank a season-high10-of-17 from the floor en route to his 17^th double-figure scoring game of the campaign and third of 20 or more points.  Davis was one four double-digit scorers for the Eagles with junior Austin Claunch (15 pts.), sophomore Alex Greven (13 pts.) and junior Alex Gulotta (11 pts.) all finishing in double figures as Emory tied the program's second-highest UAA win total.  Claunch also doled out eight assists and chipped in three steals

The Eagles ended the game shooting 45.8 percent (27-of-59) and knocked down eight three-point field goals.  CWRU hit on just 31.7 percent (20-of-63) of its field goal opportunities including 25.0 percent (5-of-20) from beyond the arc.  Emory held a 48-41 edge in the rebounding department.

Emory led by as many as 19 points in the first half and took an 11-point edge, 41-30, into the locker room at halftime.  The Spartans used a three-point play by Austin Fowler, who scored a game-high 25 points, to draw to within eight points in the early stages of the second half, but that was as close as they would get as the Eagles answered with 15-5 surge, with five different players scoring in that stretch, to regain control of the game, 56-38, with 14:35 left on the clock.  CWRU would get to within 10 points on three occasions the remainder of the game, the last time with 6:17 remaining, but Emory answered each challenge in picking up the victory.  

 Case Western hit two of its first three shots of the game in taking a 4-0 lead less than a minute into the contest.  However, Emory quickly seized control of the game with a 28-5 spree which put it ahead by a 28-9 margin with 7:57 left in the stanza.  During that span, Emory knocked down five of its seven first-half three-point field goals while the Spartans  connected on just one-of-16 from the floor.  A triple by Alex Gulotta, his second of the half, with 3:36 left gave Emory a 36-18 edge but the Spartans battled back to with 11 points at the intermission on the strength of a 12-5 run. Emory hit 45.5 percent (15-of-33) from the floor, including 46.7 percent (7-of-15) from beyond the arc, during the opening 20 minutes while CWRU finished the opening stanza converting 10-of-33 from the floor.  Davis paced the Emory scoring attack, coming off the bench to register 13 points while grabbing eight rebounds.

Emory will be shooting for the program's second-ever 20-win season and first since the 1989-90 campaign when it plays at Carnegie Mellon on Sunday (Feb. 20) starting at noon.
