Wildcat Scratches
• Davidson enters 10-4 overall and 1-0 in Atlantic 10 play following a 65-61 win over Duquesne on Saturday.
• Since joining the league in 2014-15, the Wildcats are 46-27 in A-10 regular season play, including 13-5 last year, and 54-30 including A-10 tournament play.
• Preseason all-conference selections Kellan Grady and Jon Axel Gudmundsson continue to lead Davidson in scoring, averaging 19.2 and 17.4 points, respectively.
• Freshman Luka Brajkovic is scoring 12.1 per game, while leading the way in rebounding (6.6).
• Redshirt freshman Luke Frampton is averaging 10.1 points.
• Frampton leads the A-10 in 3-pointers made (39) and attempted (111).
• Gudmundsson leads the conference in total minutes played (496).

Last Time Out
• KiShawn Pritchett backed in his defender to score the go-ahead layup, and Kellan Grady added two late free throws to push Davidson past Duquesne 65-61 Saturday at Belk Arena in the Atlantic 10 opener for both teams.
• The game featured 18 lead changes, and each team led for more than 16 minutes. But Davidson was out front when the final horn sounded.
• The Wildcats pulled ahead for good when Pritchett caught the ball in the left corner, dribbled in against Marcus Weathers and lofted a turnaround shot over Weathers and fellow defender Michael Hughes with 1:41 left. The shot gave the Wildcats a 63-61 lead.
• After the Dukes came up empty on their next two possessions, Grady was fouled by guard Sincere Carry on a defensive switch behind the 3-point line. He drained both free throws with 21.9 ticks left to extend the lead to four and finalize the scoring.
• Luka Brajkovic added 15 points for the Wildcats, and Jon Axel Gudmundsson scored 12. Pritchett chipped in 10, and Luke Frampton shot 3-of-5 from beyond the arc to score nine.
• Duquesne was led by Carry's 17, while Frankie Hughes scored 15.
