McKillop Postgame Radio Interview
KINGSTON, R.I. – Unable to overcome an early deficit, Davidson fell at Rhode Island 72-65 in Atlantic 10 men's basketball action Saturday afternoon inside the Ryan Center.
The setback was the Wildcats' first in a true road game this season as they fall to 20-4 overall but remain atop the league standings at 10-2.
Despite just its second loss in the last 21 contests, Davidson was led by Foster Loyer's 20 points, while Hyunjung Lee and Michael Jones also scored in double figures with 17 and 13, respectively.
Rhode Island (13-10, 4-7 A-10), which shot 55.6 percent, including 6-of-9 from long range in the opening 20 minutes, gained separation with a 14-0 run early in the contest. The lead grew to as many as 14 in the period before Davidson cut the deficit to 40-35 at the half.
In addition to finishing with a 46-28 advantage on the glass, the Rams made 19-of-23 from the charity stripe.
Jeremy Sheppard led Rhode Island with a game-high 23 points on 7-of-11 shooting, which included a 6-for-6 effort at the line. Mahki Mitchell had a double-double for the Rams with 16 points and 11 boards.
After both teams struggled from the floor early in the second half, the Wildcats got to within a bucket on several occasions, including 64-61 with 1:04 left. Sheppard converted free throws the next trip and Rhody eventually pushed the margin back to seven to put the game out of reach.
Davidson finished shooting 38.1 percent overall and made just 7-of-28 from behind the 3-point line.
Up Next
Davidson will play four of its last six regular season contests at home beginning with a Valentine's Day contest against Duquesne Monday at 7 p.m.
