NEW YORK - Five good minutes from Stephen Curry were enough to get No. 23 Davidson a 68-65 victory over West Virginia on Tuesday night in the Jimmy V Classic.

The nation's leading scorer managed to make one of his first 13 3-point attempts before taking over the end of the game, scoring 13 of the Wildcats' last 15 points.

Curry, a preseason All-American, made his final three shots from behind the arc. The last of those three 3s gave the Wildcats (7-1) the lead for good at 64-62 with 39 seconds to play.

He finished with 27 points, 4.3 below his average, on 9-of-27 shooting, including 4-for-16 from 3-point range.

Da'Sean Butler had a career-high 24 points and grabbed 14 rebounds for West Virginia (6-2).

NO. 14 PURDUE 68,

BALL ST. 39

MUNCIE, Ind. - Robbie Hummel scored 15 points as No. 14 Purdue defeated Ball State.

Hummel, the preseason Big Ten Player of the Year, added nine rebounds and three assists.

JaJuan Johnson scored 12 points and E'Twaun Moore and Nemanja Calasan added 10 for the Boilermakers (7-2).

Anthony Newell led Ball State (4-4) with 11 points and eight rebounds.

FLORIDA: Gators forward Adam Allen, who has been sidelined the last six weeks because of a sprained left knee, might not play again this season. Allen plans to test his knee in a few weeks, but Coach Billy Donovan said the 6-foot-8 sophomore is considering taking a medical redshirt this season.

Allen averaged 4.0 points as a freshman, but he was expected to play a more significant role this year. He sprained his medial collateral ligament in practice Oct. 24.
