11/29/2024 11:04:00 PM | Men's Basketball
ATLANTIS PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas – Playing its second nationally-ranked opponent in three nights, Davidson concluded the Battle 4 Atlantis with a 90-65 setback to No. 3 Gonzaga Friday night inside Imperial Arena.
The Wildcats, who fell to No. 24 Arizona on day one, then knocked off Providence (RV) Thursday, slide to 5-2 on the season.
Reed Bailey and Roberts Blums were the lone Davidson players to hit the 10-point plateau with 19 and 11, respectively.
After a Zach Laput trey got the 'Cats within two, 20-18, Gonzaga (7-1) started to separate with a 16-3 spurt before going to the half up, 42-31.
The Bulldogs scored the first nine points of the second half to push the margin to 51-31 all but putting the game out of reach.
In addition to shooting 55 percent, the Zags outscored Davidson 58-24 in the paint.
Gonzaga placed four in double figures, led by Ben Gregg's 24 points on 8-of-10 shooting. Graham Ike added a double-double with 18 points and 10 boards, while Ryan Nembhard finished with a career-high 14 assists.
