LAST TIME OUT
• Two of the Atlantic 10's top senior guards — Davidson's Kellan Grady and Dayton's Jalen Crutcher — combined to score 56 points Friday night in an overtime classic the Flyers won 89-78 in Belk Arena.
• Grady scored 27 to lead the Wildcats, while Crutcher turned in a career-high 29 as the Flyers bounced back from an upset loss to Fordham.
• Despite trailing for more than 36 minutes of regulation, the Wildcats forced overtime after Grady tied the game at 72-all with a step-back 3-pointer from the right wing with 3.3 seconds left. Dayton's Ibi Watson launched a long shot at the buzzer, but it missed the mark.
• Dayton pulled away in the extra five minutes with a 13-2 run.
• Davidson forward Luka Brajkovic added a double-double with 20 points and 10 boards. His drive and dunk with 15 seconds left in regulation cut the Flyers' lead to 70-69. Crutcher hit two free throws with 12.8 ticks left to make it 72-69 before Grady's trey tied it.
• Wildcat guard Carter Collins added 13 points, and freshman Grant Huffman continued his emergence as an impact player off the bench. He scored nine.
• Watson provided 23 points for Dayton.Â
• After the two teams traded runs early in the period, they battled back and forth the remainder of the half before Dayton carried a 32-31 lead into the break.
