Wildcat Scratches
• Davidson returns to Belk Arena for a 7 p.m. nationally-televised (ESPNU) contest against Rhode Island Wednesday.
• Coming off a 75-66 come-from-behind win at St. Bonaventure, the Wildcats enter 16-5 overall and atop the A-10 standings at 7-1.
• Off to its best start in conference play since joining the league in 2014-15, Davidson is 52-28 in A-10 regular season games and 60-31 including tournament play.
• In league contests, Davidson ranks first in scoring defense (59.8) and third in field-goal percentage defense (.399).
• The Wildcats have won 11 straight at Belk Arena and 21 of their last 22.
• Preseason all-conference selections Kellan Grady and Jon Axel Gudmundsson continue to lead Davidson in scoring, averaging 18.1 and 16.3 points, respectively.
• Gudmundsson, who has five double-doubles this season, is the only A-10 player to rank in the Top-10 among league leaders in scoring (6th), rebounding (T-9th/6.8) and assists (7th/4.2).
• Redshirt freshman Luke Frampton is scoring 11.1 points per game, while freshman Luka Brajkovic is averaging 10.5 per outing.

Last Time Out
• Kellan Grady poured in a game-high 29 points and Davidson erased a 10-point halftime deficit to rally past St. Bonaventure, 75-66, Friday evening at the Reilly Center.
• With the win, the Wildcats moved to 7-1 and atop the A-10 standings.
• Davidson started Friday's second half much like the first, drilling four 3-pointers as part of a 14-6 run to open and eventually retook the lead on a Carter Collins reverse layup with 9:22 to play.
• After St. Bona went back in front 55-54 on a Kyle Lofton jumper, Grady answered with 10 straight points to spark a 16-4 run, which was capped by a pair of long Jon Axel Gudmundsson triples to put the game out of reach.
• Grady, who finished 10-of-17 from the floor and hit five treys, was joined in double figures by backcourt mates Luke Frampton and Gudmundsson, who had 19 points each.
• Frampton also knocked down five 3-pointers for the Wildcats, who finished 14-for-30 (46.7 percent) from deep as a team.
• In addition to its hot shooting from behind the arc, Davidson held the Bonnies to just 29.6 percent after intermission.
• Davidson raced out to a 17-5 advantage thanks to four early 3-pointers, including two from Frampton. The Bonnies slowly chipped away and trailed 24-16 before scoring 15 unanswered to go up, 31-24.
• After the 'Cats got to within 33-32 late in the first half, Bona responded again and closed on an 11-2 spurt to take a 44-34 lead into the break.
