CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - Jake Cohen led four Davidson players in double figures in the scoring column with 16 points, but the Wildcats fell 78-73 at Chattanooga in Southern Conference men's basketball action Monday night.
Cohen finished with seven rebounds for the 'Cats (14-14, 9-7 SoCon), and 15 of his points came in the second half. Brendan McKillop tallied 15 points, five rebounds and three assists, while Nik Cochran recorded 13 points and four boards. Will Archambault finished with 10 points, and Bryant Barr scored eight.
Ricky Taylor led the Mocs (14-15, 6-10 SoCon) with 22 points, and senior Ty Patterson, playing in his final home game, posted 20 points and eight boards. Keegan Bell added 16 points, six assists and five rebounds.
The score was tied 52-52 coming out of the under eight-minute media timeout, but Chattanooga netted nine straight points to open a 61-52 lead. Davidson cut the margin to six once and five once, on 3-pointers by Cohen and JP Kuhlman, over the next two minutes, but each time the Mocs had an answer on the offensive end.
After a pair of Cohen free throws made the lead seven with 3:47 to go, Taylor and Patterson combined for the next six points of the game to make the cushion 12. Davidson could not get the margin into single digits until Archambault hit a triple that made the score 78-70 with 18 seconds left. Cochran added a 3-pointer with three seconds remaining for the final margin.
Chattanooga jumped out to a 19-6 lead on a Ridge McKeither dunk early in the game. The Wildcats used a 22-4 spurt, sparked by six 3-pointers, to open a 28-23 cushion. McKillop had three triples during the run, capping it with two in a row, and Barr knocked down to 3-pointers. Cochran added seven points during the stretch.
Davidson went on to take a 35-32 cushion into halftime as seven of the 'Cats 14 field goals in the frame were from long distance.
The Wildcats return to action Wednesday, Feb. 24, for the home finale against UNC Greensboro. Davidson will honor its four seniors, Archambault, Bryant Barr, Dan Nelms and Rossiter, before the game.
Game Notes: Barr's two 3-pointers moved him into a tie for fifth with Jason Zimmerman on the Davidson career chart... The 'Cats played in their contest in a stretch where they play five games in 11 days… Barr made his second straight start… The victory broke an eight-game losing streak against Davidson for the Mocs.
