Wildcat Tidbits
-- Davidson will conclude its 2015-16 road slate with a 7 p.m. contest at VCU on Wednesday night.
-- Coming off a 91-82 setback at Fordham, the Wildcats enter 17-10 overall and 9-7 in Atlantic 10 play.
-- Over their last six games, the Wildcats are shooting 40.8 percent from 3-point range, while holding a +3.9 margin on the glass.
-- Jack Gibbs leads Davidson averaging 24.8 points per game, which is third nationally behind James Daniel (Howard) and Buddy Hield (Oklahoma).
-- Gibbs also ranks among league leaders in scoring (1st), assists (3rd/4.9), 3-point field goals per game (4th/2.9), steals (5th/1.7) and free-throw percentage (T-8th/.838).
-- Gibbs has scored at least 40 points in a game three times this season, 35 or more seven times and hit the 30-point mark nine times.
-- The only player with more 40-point games in a season over the last six years is Jimmer Fredette (BYU; 2010-11).
-- Peyton Aldridge (15.3) and Brian Sullivan (14.3) are also averaging double figures for the Wildcats.
-- Aldridge paces the club in double-doubles (4), rebounding (6.5) and free-throw percentage (.854).
-- In 25 out of 27 contests this season, a Wildcat has gone over the 20-point plateau.
-- As a team, Davidson ranks 13th in 3-point field goals per game (9.9), 13th in free-throw shooting (.760) and 18th nationally in assist-turnover ratio (1.49).
-- In conference play, the Wildcats are shooting just under 80 percent from the charity stripe.
-- A win would give the Wildcats' double-digit league victories for the 22nd time under head coach Bob McKillop.
-- Davidson competed in the Southern Conference for 74 years before officially joining the A-10 in July of 2014.
-- The Wildcats have won four straight (3 - SoCon, 1 - A-10) regular season conference championships.
