RICHMOND, Va. – Peyton Aldridge scored a game-high 23 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to lead Davidson past VCU, 74-63, in Atlantic 10 men's basketball action Wednesday evening.
The backcourt trio of Kellan Grady (19), KiShawn Pritchett (12) and Jon Axel Gudmundsson (12) also scored in double figures for the Wildcats, who picked up their first win at the Siegel Center since joining the league in 2014.
Davidson (14-10, 9-4 A-10) opened the second half with an 8-2 spurt to push the margin to double-digits. The Rams got to within 36-31 on a Justin Tillman 3-point play, but the Wildcats responded again and eventually stretched the lead to as many as 18, to put the game away.
In addition to drilling 10 3-pointers, the Wildcats converted 14-of-15 at the charity stripe, including their last 11 points.
Down 17-10 early, Davidson put together a 13-2 run highlighted by two of Pritchett's four 3-pointers, before going to the half up, 28-24. Grady also scored six points during the spurt to lead all players at the break with 10.
Tillman paced VCU (15-11, 7-6 A-10) with 22 points on 9-of-15 shooting, while De'Riante Jenkins added 19.
The Wildcats finished with a 32-30 advantage on the glass and held VCU to just 41.8 percent, after starting the game 7-of-12.
Up Next
Davidson will begin a two-game homestand Saturday when Massachusetts visits John M. Belk Arena for a 7 p.m. tip.
