Last Year's Instant Classic
• In what many were calling "The Game of the Year" in College Basketball last season, Davidson's Peyton Aldridge (45) and Kellan Grady (39) combined for a school-record 84 points in a thrilling triple-overtime contest at St. Bonaventure on Feb. 27, 2018.
• Aldridge's 45 points were the fifth-most scored in a single game by a Wildcat and the most-ever by a Davidson player on the road.
• It was also the most points scored by an Atlantic 10 player last season.
• Along with moving into third on Davidson's all-time scoring list, Aldridge drilled a career-high 8 3-pointers and grabbed 12 rebounds for his fifth straight double-double.
