Fletcher Magee scored 36 points as No. 24 Wofford completed an unbeaten Southern Conference regular season by running away from host Samford 85-64 on Saturday afternoon in Birmingham, Ala.

The Terriers became the first Southern Conference team to go undefeated in league play in the regular season since Davidson's 2007-08 team, which included Stephen Curry. That team advanced to an NCAA regional final.

Magee, a senior guard, racked up 19 points in the second half. He finished 13-for-21 from the field, going 8-for-14 on 3-point attempts. He also notched team highs with four assists and three steals.

Nathan Hoover added 17 points, aided by four 3-point baskets, for Wofford (26-4, 18-0), which takes the top seed into the Southern Conference Tournament. It will carry a 16-game winning streak into a quarterfinal game next weekend in Asheville, N.C.

The victory closed the first week in program history that Wofford has been in the Top 25.

Wofford shot 14-for-30 on 3-pointers compared to Samford's 1-for-23 (0-for-13 in the second half).

Chevez Goodwin had 10 points and 10 rebounds for Wofford. The Terriers were content to attack from the perimeter, going to the free-throw line only eight times.

Josh Sharkey and reserve Robert Allen each posted 16 points, and Ruben Guerrero had 12 points for Samford (16-15, 6-12), which lost its fourth game in a row. Allen grabbed 11 rebounds.

Wofford led 31-29 at halftime behind Magee's 17 points. Tray Hollowell scored all eight of his points in about a two-minute span late in the first half off the bench for the Terriers.

Wofford had only six points through the game's first nine minutes, trailing 10-6. The game was tied at 18-18 before Magee hit a 3-pointer, and Wofford led the rest of the way.

The Terriers opened the second half with a 15-4 burst.

The game was drastically different from Wofford's 107-106 overtime home victory in the first meeting of the season between the teams in January.

Samford finished 24-for-37 on two-point baskets.
