Wildcat Scratches

• The Wildcats are 17-110 all-time when playing
a ranked opponent (AP Poll).
• Davidson's last win over a Top-25 opponent came on March 11, 2018, when it knocked off No. 25/22 Rhode Island, 58-57, in the Atlantic 10 Championship.
• This will be the 78th all-time meeting between the in-state foes.
• Preseason all-conference selections Kellan Grady and Jon Axel Gudmundsson continue to lead Davidson in scoring, averaging 19.4 and 18.1 points, respectively.
• Coming off back-to-back double-doubles, freshman Luka Brajkovic is also averaging double figures for the 'Cats at 12.2 per game, while leading the way in rebounding (6.8).
Last Time Out
• Six players scored in double figures as the Davidson Wildcats rolled by Central Penn, 88-54, on Dec. 22, 2018 at Belk Arena.
• Freshman forward Luka Brajkovic turned in his third career double-double, and second straight, with 14 points and 11 rebounds to lead the way against the Knights, who play in the United States Collegiate Athletic Association (USCAA).
• Bates Jones, David Czerapowicz and Luke Frampton scored 12 points each, while Jon Axel Gudmundsson also reached double digits with 10 points to go along with 5 boards, 4 assists and 3 steals.
• Davidson, which led by as many as 41, shot 50 percent and finished with a commanding 51-27 margin on the glass.
• The Wildcats turned in another solid defensive effort, holding the Knights to just 33.9 percent from the floor.
• After a slow start, Davidson closed the first half on a 32-7 streak to take a 47-21 advantage into the break.
