ROCKY MOUNT, N.C. –Alston Furr scored a career-high 22 points in Guilford College's 84-78 overtime basketball win at North Carolina Wesleyan College Tuesday afternoon.

The Battling Bishops (4-5) missed their final four shots of the game, during which time Guilford did not allow an offensive rebound. Matt McCarthy's basket with 1:09 left opened a four-point spread and rookie Zachary Houston's two free throws with 12 seconds remaining iced the win.

Zeb Richardson's basket with 5:18 left in regulation opened a 70-55 Quakers' edge, but N.C. Wesleyan closed the half on a 19-4 run, capped by D.J.
