WILDCAT SCRATCHES
• Davidson enters 3-2 on the young season following a 76-67 come-from-behind win over East Carolina on the final day of the Myrtle Beach Invitational.
• After dropping the opener against New Mexico State, the Wildcats also picked up a victory against Penn on day two.
• Hyunjung Lee (first team), who led the 'Cats with 25 points and 10 rebounds on Sunday, and Luka Brajkovic (second team) were named all-tournament.
• Brajkovic is just 15 points shy of becoming the 53rd player in school history to score 1,000 career points.
• Lee leads Davidson in scoring as the junior is averaging 15.4 points per game.
• Fellow starters Brajkovic (14.2), Foster Loyer (13.2), Sam Mennenga (11.6) and Michael Jones (10.4) are also averaging double figures for the Wildcats through five games.
• Saturday's meeting marks the first between Davidson and Robert Morris on the hardwood.

LAST TIME OUT
• Hyunjung Lee scored a career-high 25 points and grabbed 10 rebounds to lead Davidson to a 76-67 come-from-behind win over East Carolina on the final day of the Myrtle Beach Invitational.
• In addition to his second career double-double, Lee finished 8-of-15 from the floor, including five 3-pointers.
• Luka Brajkovic (14), Sam Mennenga (11) and Foster Loyer (10) joined the preseason all-conference selection in double figures, while fellow starter Michael Jones scored nine points to go along with a career-best eight assists.
• Trailing 47-34 early in the second half, the Wildcats slowly chipped away at the game's largest margin and eventually took their first lead, 57-55, thanks to eight straight capped off by a Mennenga two-handed jam with 7:47 to play.
• ECU went back in front with a Tremont Robinson-White trey the next trip, but Davidson answered again, and Lee's fifth triple of the game put the 'Cats up for good with just under four minutes remaining.
• Tristen Newton, who scored 18 points in the opening half, led the Pirates with a game-high 28 points.
• After consecutive treys from Loyer and Brajkovic cut Davidson's deficit to 22-20, ECU responded with a 12-3 run before carrying a 45-34 advantage into the half.
• Both teams hit seven 3-pointers in the first 20 minutes, but the Pirates shot 52 percent in the period and out-rebounded the 'Cats 24-11 in the frame.
• The Wildcats were much better on the glass in the second half as ECU finished with a 37-33 edge for the game.
• Davidson, which shot 53.3 percent after intermission, was just as impressive at the defensive end, holding East Carolina to just 7-of-24 (.292).

UP NEXT
• Davidson will travel to cross-county rival Charlotte Tuesday for the annual "Battle for the Hornets' Nest Trophy."
