• Fellow starters Michael Jones (12.1), Luka Brajkovic (12.0) and Foster Loyer (12.0) are also averaging double figures for the Wildcats through seven games.

LAST TIME OUT
• Hyunjung Lee had a career night, and the Davidson Wildcats beat cross-county rival Charlotte 75-58 Tuesday night in the annual Battle for the Hornets' Nest Trophy in Halton Arena.
• Lee scored a career-best 32 points and pulled down a career-high 14 boards with his third career double-double to set the tone, while Michael Jones added a career-best 18 points.
• Lee finished 9-of-17 from the floor, 6-of-12 from 3-point range and 8-of-8 at the foul line, as the Wildcats won on their rival's home floor for the first time since early in the 2017-18 season.
• The Wildcats led by as many as 18 points five times, first at 46-28 after opening the second 20 minutes with nine straight points. After a Foster Loyer trey pushed the Davidson lead to 58-40 with 9:08 left, the 49ers posed their best challenge of the night with an 8-0 run to trim the deficit to 10. But the Wildcats answered, first with a drive and layup by Desmond Watson to make it 60-48 and moments later with a 9-0 run to extend it to 69-51 with 4:41 to play.
• Late in the first half, Davidson used a 16-6 spurt, capped by three consecutive triples and a layup from Lee to push its advantage to 37-23. The Niners closed the period with five unanswered to cut the deficit to 37-28 at the break.
• Lee and Jones combined for seven of the 'Cats eight first-half 3-pointers.
• The Wildcats finished 18-of-19 at the foul line (94.7 percent) and 11-of-21 from beyond the arc (52.4 percent).
• Aly Khalifa led Charlotte with 18 points, while Jahmir Young finished with 10 after scoring at least 20 points in each of his last four outings.
