GAME 25 DETAILS...
Opponent: Rhode Island
Date / Location: Saturday, Feb. 17 / 1 p.m.
Watch: ESPN+
In-game Updates: X.com (@DavidsonWBB)
SERIES HISTORY...
The Wildcats enter the weekend looking to tie the all-time series as the Rams currently claim a slight 7-6 lead. The 'Cats will also look to snap a three-game losing streak against Rhode Island. Most recently Davidson was defeated by narrow 67-60 margin by Rhody Feb. 4, 2023 inside John M. Belk Arena.

DAVIDSON REPORT...
Overall Record: 18-6
A-10 Record: 8-5
Home Record: 11-3
Away Record: 7-3
Streak: W4
Head Coach: Gayle Fulks | Seventh season at DC (103-99)
LAST TIME OUT...
Sutphin's season-high 24 points coupled with an efficient .560 day of shooting from the floor for the 'Cats earned them a compelling 75-67 win over George Mason who earlier in the season defeated Davidosn by 38 points.
Mallorie Haines went off for 15 points while Issy Morgan and Millie Prior each tallied eight of their own.
WHEN THE SHOTS FALL...
The Wildcats notched their second-highest single-game shooting percentage of the season hitting 28-of-50 from the floor against the Patriots.
Davidson found great success from beyond the arc as well, earning their highest single-game three point percentage of the year at .625 after connecting on 10-of-16. The Wildcats have now drained at least 10 form distance in six contests.
Much of the success from long range was due in part by a 4-of-6 showing from Haines from three. The Junior guard from Sherrills Ford, N.C. had drained 42 triples this year and has seven games this year having hit at least three.
