KINGSTON, R.I. – Fatts Russell scored a game-high 26 points to lead Rhode Island past Davidson, 69-58, in Atlantic 10 men's basketball action Wednesday evening inside the Ryan Center.
The loss drops the 'Cats to 6-8 overall and 0-2 in league play, while the Rams move to 9-5 and 1-1.
Despite the setback, Carter Collins paced four Wildcats in double figures with 12 points. Backcourt mates Kellan Grady and Jon Axel Gudmundsson added 11 points each, while Luka Brajkovic had his second straight double-double with 10 points and 11 boards.
The Rams grabbed control with a small spurt midway through the second half and would push the lead to 11, with 4:47 to play.
Davidson cut the deficit to four on a Grady floater with 50 ticks left, but was unable to inch closer in the closing seconds.
The Wildcats shot just 36.5 percent from the floor, which included a 4-of-23 effort from long range. Rhode Island finished with a 44.4 percent clip and got to the line 20 times, making 15.
In a back and forth opening 20 minutes, Rhode Island carried a 34-30 lead into the half thanks in part to turning eight Wildcat miscues into 13 points at the other end.
Up Next
Davidson will play four of its next five at home beginning with a 2:30 p.m. tip against Saint Joseph's Saturday inside John M. Belk Arena.
