CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Davidson led by as many as 12 in the first half, but a late run and a career-high 25 points and 13 rebounds from Anthony Gill led No. 3 Virginia to an 83-72 victory over the Wildcats in non-conference men's basketball action Tuesday evening in John Paul Jones Arena.
Jack Gibbs (21) and Tyler Kalinoski (20) each hit the 20-point plateau to pace three Davidson (9-2) players in double figures, while backcourt mate and fellow tri-captain Brian Sullivan added 14. Kalinoski also paced the 'Cats on the glass with seven rebounds.
In a battle of the nation's best offensive and defensive teams, the Wildcats finished with a 48.2 percent clip, including 11 3-pointers. Prior to tonight's contest, Virginia (12-0) hadn't allowed a team to shoot better than 40 percent or go for more than 65 points in a game this season.
Gill scored 19 of his 25 points in the second half to lead four double-digit scorers for Virginia. Malcom Brogdon struggled from the field, but hit all 12 of his free throws to finish with 16 points. Justin Anderson drilled four 3-pointers en route to 14 points, while Darion Atkins contributed 13 points off the bench to go along with 10 boards.
Davidson, which started 9-of-13 from the floor, jumped out to a 29-17 lead following a Gibbs' trey at the 7:12 mark. The Cavaliers closed the first half on a 10-2 spurt to cut the deficit to 36-32 at the break.
In addition to scoring 17 of the Wildcats' first 19 points, Gibbs and Kalinoski combined for 28 points in the period.
After Virginia opened the second half with a small run to take its first lead since it was 9-8, Davidson responded and went back in front, 52-51 on consecutive 3-pointers from Gibbs and Sullivan with 11:20 to play.
Deadlocked at 55-55, the Cavs scored eight unanswered, keyed by back-to-back threes from Anderson, as part of a 20-8 streak that gave them a 75-63 lead with 3:40 to play.
Virginia finished with a 42-25 advantage on the glass, including 17 at the offensive end. Following a 10-for-31 effort in the first 20 minutes, the Cavaliers shot 56.7 percent after intermission to finish at 44.3 percent.
Up next, Davidson will play its first-ever Atlantic 10 contest when Richmond visits Belk Arena for a 5 p.m. televised (NBCSN) contest on Saturday.
