Matt McKillop Postgame Radio Interview
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Richmond closed on a 10-2 run in the final 1:22 to rally past top-seeded Davidson, 64-62, in the 2022 Atlantic 10 Tournament Championship on Sunday afternoon inside Capital One Arena.
The Wildcats, who await their postseason destination, fall to 27-6 overall, while the Spiders earn the league's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament improving to 23-12.
After a frantic back and forth start to the second half, the two teams found themselves deadlocked 53-53, with 6:32 to play.
The Wildcats went back in front with seven straight points from Luka Brajkovic to put his club up, 60-54, with just 1:34 left. Richmond responded with a 3-point play from Burton the next possession, the first of three consecutive for the Spiders, to go back in front for good.
Davidson had a pair of looks in the closing seconds to tie or win the game, but was unable to convert.
Sam Mennenga led Davidson with 18 points on 5-of-8 shooting, including four 3-pointers, while frontcourt mate Brajkovic added his second straight double-double with 13 points and 11 rebounds.
Michael Jones also scored in double figures for the Wildcats with 17 points.
Richmond's Jacob Gilyard, who was Tournament MVP, finished with a game-high 26 points in 40 minutes of action. Tyler Burton added 16 points and 12 boards for the Spiders.
Despite falling behind 11-2 early and shooting just 32 percent in the opening 20 minutes, the Wildcats closed the period on a 10-3 spurt capped by Mennenga's second trey, to lead 26-25 at the half.
Davidson's Brajkovic and Foster Loyer were named to the all-tournament team.
