Parker Friedrichsen led the Wildcats with 16 points. Davidson used 11 scholar-athletes in the game and all of them scored.

DOWN THE STRETCH
With three regular season games left, Davidson is tied for sixth place in the A-10 standings with Duquesne. The 'Cats split the regular season series against the Dukes. The tiebreaker after head-to-head competition is the conference record of the tied teams based on winning percentage starting with the highest common opponent in the standings.
Davidson is one win away from its most wins in a season since the 2021-22 campaign (27). The 'Cats are also seeking their first winning record in A-10 play since the 2021-22 campaign.
