3/9/2023 2:32:00 PM | Men's Basketball

BROOKLYN, N.Y. – Top-seeded VCU shot 57.4 percent and drilled 9-of-21 3-pointers to defeat Davidson, 71-53, in the quarterfinals of the 2023 Atlantic 10 Men's Basketball Tournament Thursday inside the Barclays Center.
 
The Wildcats conclude the season 16-16 overall, while the Rams advance to Saturday's semifinals where they'll meet the winner of Saint Louis/George Mason.
 
VCU (25-7) grabbed control of a tie game with eight unanswered points midway through the opening period, before going to the half with a 37-28 advantage.

Grant Huffman and David Skogman paced the Wildcats with 10 points each. 

Davidson got to within eight on a Huffman layup with 14:23 to play, but the Rams used a 10-1 run to push the margin to 17, 57-40, and all but put the game out of reach.
  
The Wildcats, who entered postseason play making eight straight A-10 semifinal appearances, shot just 37 percent overall, which included a 3-for-12 effort from long range.
 
Four Rams scored in double figures, including the Conference Player and Defensive Player of the Year, Ace Baldwin, Jr., who finished with 11 points and 6 assists.
 
Both teams committed 12 turnovers, while Davidson held a 32-29 edge on the glass.
