KINGSTON, R.I. – Jack Gibbs drilled a 3-pointer with 11 seconds remaining to lift Davidson over Rhode Island, 60-59, in Atlantic 10 men's basketball action Wednesday evening at the Ryan Center.
In addition to winning their sixth straight, the Wildcats moved into a four-way tie for first place in the conference standings, improving to 20-6 overall and 11-4 in league play.
Tyler Kalinoski led the way for Davidson with 21 points and 8 rebounds, while Gibbs added 15 points, 4 assists and 3 steals.
Trailing 58-54, Kalinoski converted a three-point play with just under a minute to play to pull Davidson within one, 58-57. On the following possession, Hassan Martin made the first of two free throws before Gibbs hit the game-winner. Rhode Island (19-7, 11-4 A-10) had one last chance, but Jared Terrell missed a 3-pointer with two seconds remaining.
Despite shooting a season-low 23.3 percent (7-30) after intermission to finish at 41.1 percent, the Wildcats were impressive defensively, holding the Rams to just 34.4 percent, marking the third straight game Davidson has held its opponent under 40 percent. Rhode Island also struggled from long range (1-19) and at the charity stripe (16-33).
Martin paced the Rams with his 13th career double-double, scoring 17 points and grabbing 16 rebounds. E.C. Matthews also contributed double figures for Rhode Island with 16 points.
After Andrew McAuliffe put the 'Cats up 48-37 with a putback, the Rams responded with a 17-3 streak to take their first lead, 54-51, with 3:22 left.
Rhode Island held a 46-41 advantage on the glass, including 18 offensive rebounds that led to 16 second-chance points.
Davidson, which had six players with two fouls each in the first 20 minutes, shot 61.5 percent in the opening period and led 38-31 at the break. The Wildcats went on a 12-4 run early and pushed their lead to as many as 11 in the half on separate occasions.
With the victory, Davidson has hit the 20-win plateau under head coach Bob McKillop 13 times, including nine of the last 11 seasons.
The Wildcats return home Saturday for a 7 p.m. televised (TWC Sports) contest with George Washington at Belk Arena.
