WILDCAT SCRATCHES
• Davidson looks to remain unbeaten on the road in A-10 play when its travels to La Salle for a 2 p.m. tip Saturday.
• The only meeting between the two teams was originally scheduled for Feb. 3, but moved up by the league after a number of postponements within the conference.
• The Wildcats enter 7-5 overall and 3-2 in league play following an 80-66 victory over Saint Joseph's Tuesday.
• The 'Cats are 72-41 in A-10 regular season play since joining the league in 2014-15.
• Through 12 games, Davidson's starting backcourt of Kellan Grady (17.6), Hyunjung Lee (15.3) and Carter Collins (13.3) are combining to average 46.2 points per game.
• Grady, who is averaging 20.3 points over his last three outings, ranks seventh among A-10 leaders in scoring.
• In addition, Lee also ranks among league leaders in field-goal percentage (11th/.531), 3-point field goal percentage (3rd/.485) and free-throw percentage (1st/.882)
• As a team, the 'Cats have outrebounded their opponents in 11 of the first 12 contests and hold a +7.2 margin on the glass, which is second to only Saint Louis in the conference.
Â
LAST TIME OUT
• Davidson scored on four straight possessions down the stretch to answer a Saint Joseph's challenge and emerge with an 80-66 win Tuesday night in Belk Arena.
• The Wildcats scored nine unanswered points to take the lead for good after the Hawks pulled to within 61-58 with 7:27 to play.
• In all, the Wildcats scored 16 of the game's next 20 points, and the Hawks struggled in the closing minutes, connecting on just one of their final 13 shots.
• Kellan Grady scored a game-best 21 points to lead five Wildcats in double figures. Sam Mennenga chipped in with 15 points and a team-high nine boards, as Davidson held a 43-26 rebounding advantage.
• Hyunjung Lee added 14 points, while Luka Brajkovic scored 12 and Michael Jones 11 for the 'Cats, who shot 52 percent and canned 14 3-pointers.
• After finding itself in an early 19-9 deficit, Davidson started to find its rhythm against the Hawks' zone and closed the first period on a 28-7 run to take a 37-26 lead into the break. The Wildcats' lead peaked at 46-28 with 18:12 to play, following a Carter Collins trey.
• Jack Forrest and Taylor Funk scored 19 apiece to lead the Hawks.

UP NEXT
• Davidson returns home Wednesday for a 1 p.m. matinee with Fordham inside Belk Arena.
