CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Despite a season-high 25 points from Peyton Aldridge, Davidson suffered a 90-72 setback to No. 6/6 North Carolina in non-conference men's basketball action Saturday afternoon at Time Warner Cable Arena.
Aldridge, a freshman from Leavittsburg, Ohio, finished 9-of-16 from the floor, including hitting six of the Wildcats' 11 buckets from behind the arc. Tyler Kalinoski (12) and Jake Belford (10) also contributed double figures for Davidson (2-1), which shot just 33.8 percent (25-74).
Kennedy Meeks led four Tar Heels in double digits with 19 points to go along with a game-high 12 rebounds. Justin Jackson scored 18 points on 7-of-10 shooting, while Marcus Paige and J.P. Tokoto added 13 and 10, respectively.
After Kalinoski's 3-pointer cut the deficit to 28-26, North Carolina responded with an 11-0 run late in the first half and didn't allow the Wildcats closer than eight the rest of the way.
The Tar Heels, who shot just under 48 percent from the floor, stretched their lead to as many as 24, 88-64, on a Tokoto dunk with under two minutes to play.
In addition to nine blocks, North Carolina (3-0) held a 51-42 advantage on the glass and finished with 44 points in the paint.
Davidson will play its first road contest of the season when it travels to UCF for a 7 p.m. contest Wednesday evening on ESPN3.
