WILDCAT SCRATCHES
• The Wildcats enter 23-4 overall and remain atop the Atlantic 10 standings at 13-2 following a 74-50 win over Duquesne Wednesday in Pittsburgh.
• Matching its best start under head coach Bob McKillop, Davidson has won 22 of its last 24.
• The program's best start came during the 1964-65 season when the 'Cats started 24-1 before falling in their final game of the year.
• McKillop has guided Davidson to 17 20-win campaigns and double-digit conference wins 26 times in his 33 years.
• Since joining the A-10, the Wildcats have won a regular season title (2015), tournament title (2018) and totaled 89 league wins (11.1 per year), while recording an average finish of 4.4 in the 14-team conference and making the tournament semifinals each year.
• With its win over the Dukes, Davidson has clinched a double-bye in the A-10 Tournament for the fifth time in eight years.
• On Monday, junior Hyunjung Lee was named A-10 Player of the Week for the second time this season.
Â
INSIDE THE NUMBERS
• Hyunjung Lee (16.7), Foster Loyer (16.5), Luka Brajkovic (14.9) and Michael Jones (12.2) are each averaging double figures for the Wildcats.
• Loyer enters ninth nationally in 3-point field-goal percentage, shooting 43.7 percent (63-144).
• In addition, he leads the nation in free-throw percentage (.941 | 96-102).
• Averaging 23.2 points over his last four games, Lee enters just 18 points shy of 1,000 for his career.
• Brajkovic, a preseason all-conference selection, is averaging 17.1 points, 7.9 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.3 blocks per game against league competition, while shooting 60.1 percent (98-163) from the field and 46.5 percent (20-43) from behind the 3-point line.
• Davidson's starting lineup is shooting 50.0 percent (624-1236) from the floor and 41.9 percent (224-534) from 3-point range.

Â
LAST TIME OUT
• Hyunjung Lee scored a game-high 27 points and Davidson used a strong second half to pull away from Duquesne, 74-50, Wednesday evening inside the UMPC Cooper Fieldhouse.
• Lee, the reigning conference player of the week, finished 10-of-17 from the floor, including six of Davidson's 11 3-pointers.

Brajkovic added eight boards and five assists, and Grant Huffman scored nine points to go with four steals and four assists.
• After six ties and three lead changes early, Davidson grabbed a little separation midway through the opening 20 minutes before taking a 36-33 lead into the half.
• The Wildcats, who drilled 10 first-half 3-pointers in Saturday's win over Saint Louis, hit seven in the period Wednesday, including five straight to start the contest.
• Davidson opened the second half on a 9-2 spurt capped by back-to-back triples from Lee to push the margin to double digits. The 'Cats used another streak later in the half to put the game out of reach, as they outscored the Dukes 38-17 in the frame.
• Kevin Easley paced Duquesne with 16 points off the bench.
