Brajkovic Postgame Radio Interview
RICHMOND, Va. – Trailing by six points late, Davidson closed on a 10-2 run, highlighted by seven of Luka Brajkovic's game-high 19 points, and extended the nation's longest winning streak with a 63-61 victory over VCU Tuesday inside the Siegel Center.
Winners of 14 straight and off to its best start since the 1964-65 season, Davidson improved to 15-2 overall and 5-0 in league play.
Brajkovic, this week's A-10 Player of the Week, finished 6-of-9 from the floor, drilled both of his 3-point attempts and connected on 5-of-6 from the charity stripe to lead three 'Cats in double figures.
Foster Loyer added 14 points and Michael Jones chipped in 13 for the Wildcats, who finished the game 50 percent from the floor, including 8-of-16 from deep.
VCU reeled off 10 straight early in the second half to grab its first advantage since the opening minutes. The Rams, who scored 26 points off Wildcat miscues, stretched the margin to 59-53 on a Jayden Nunn jumper with 5:23 to play.
Facing its largest deficit of the night, Davidson responded with nine unanswered of its own to go back in front for good. The Wildcats' game-winning run was sparked by a Brajkovic trey and two-handed jam off a Loyer feed in consecutive trips.
Brajkovic added another layup with 1:26 remaining to put Davidson up 62-59.
Vince Williams paced the Rams with 16 points, including four of their six 3-pointers.
Despite 17 turnovers, Davidson out-rebounded VCU, 32-20.
After Davidson led by as many as 10 in the opening half, 29-19, VCU (10-6, 3-2) responded with a quick 7-0 spurt to cut into the deficit. The Wildcats had an answer of their own, closing the period with another small run capped by a Loyer jumper at the buzzer to lead 36-28 at the half.
UP NEXT
Davidson will conclude its three-game road swing Saturday with a 2 p.m. tip against Fordham in the Bronx.
