RICHMOND, Va. — Kellan Grady scored a game-high 27 points, and Hyunjung Lee posted the first 20-point game of his career, but it wasn't enough as Davidson fell 73-62 to VCU in the Siegel Center Friday night.
The Wildcats (11-11, 5-5 Atlantic 10) overcame a rough start against the Rams' pressure defense and trimmed a 20-point deficit to seven in the second half. But VCU (17-6, 7-3) kept the Wildcats at bay by converting all 19 of their free-throw attempts.
Davidson committed 21 turnovers against the Rams' pressure defense, including 16 in the first half as the Wildcats were held to 28.6 percent shooting in the opening 20 minutes and trailed 35-20 at the break.
In all, VCU scored 23 points off Davidson miscues.
Grady scored 11 straight points and 15 of 17 to cut the Rams' lead to 63-56 on a 3-pointer from the right wing with 4:08 to play. But the Wildcats could get no closer.
Lee provided all nine points of a 9-2 second-half run and 14 of 16 in a second-half stretch to exceed his previous high of 19 points at Loyola-Chicago in December.
VCU scored 15 of the game's first 17 points before the Wildcats cut the deficit to 15-14 with a 12-0 run of their own that spanned just 1:54 and included six points from Lee and five from Grady. The Rams' lead peaked at 45-25 with 15:26 to play.
Marcus Evans and De'Riante Jenkins led the Rams with 19 and 15 points, respectively.
