WILDCAT SCRATCHES

Davidson and league-newcomer Loyola will meet for just the third time on the hardwood and first time as conference foes when they square off Wednesday night.
The Wildcats enters the New Year 8-6 overall and 1-1 in Atlantic 10 play following a 69-55 setback to Dayton.
Since joining the A-10 in 2014-15, Davidson has won two regular season titles (2015, 2022), a tournament title (2018), made three NCAA Tournaments (2015, 2018, 2022) and totaled 92 league wins (11.3 per year).
The Wildcats have recorded an average finish of 4.0 in the 14-team conference and made the tournament semifinals each year.
Preseason all-conference selection Foster Loyer continues to lead the 'Cats in scoring, averaging 17.0 points per game.
The red-shirt senior enters just 67 points shy of 1,000 for his career.
Loyer ranks among league leaders in scoring (17.0/5th), 3-pointers made (36/6th), free-throw percentage (.889/1st), 3-pointers per game (2.6/6th), assists per game (5.1/2nd) and steals per game (1.9/2nd).
Sam Mennenga is also contributing double figures (15.2 ppg) for the 'Cats, while leading the team in rebounding (7.0 rpg).
Coming off his sixth double-figure performance in the last eight games, sophomore Desmond Watson is averaging 11.7 points and shooting 52.9 percent from the floor over his last eight contests.

LAST TIME OUT | DAYTON - 69, DAVIDSON - 55 | DEC. 31, 2022 | DAVIDSON, N.C.

Dayton's late second-half surge proved to be the difference Saturday in a 69-55 Atlantic 10 win over Davidson in Belk Arena.
Daron Holmes II scored a career-best 32 points and had 10 boards to lead the Flyers, who led throughout, with the exception of one tie.
Davidson used a 14-3 run early in the second half to erase a 44-33 halftime deficit and pulled even at 47-all on a Desmond Watson layup with 11:09 to play. During that stretch, the Wildcats crept closer as the Flyers missed their first 12 second-half shots.
But from there, Dayton scored the game's next six points, including its first field goal of the half, and responded with a 14-3 run of its own to regain control. Meanwhile, Davidson went more than nine minutes between field goals, aside from a goaltending call on the Flyers.
Watson led the Wildcats with 13 points, while Foster Loyer added 12 points and Sam Mennenga scored 11. Grant Huffman finished with nine points.
Along with Holmes, Toumani Camara added 10 points and eight boards for the Flyers, and Mustapha Anzil had seven points and 10 rebounds.

Davidson will travel to VCU for a noon tip Saturday afternoon.
