Davidson finished the regular season 12-7 and 7-4 in the A10 which was good enough to earn them the #3 seed.
History: Including tournament play DP is 2 - 4 against the Wildcats. Our game with the Wildcats scheduled for 2/24/21 was canceled and we ended up playing GW instead so this is the first meeting of the year.
Wins: High Point, UNLV, Georgia Southern, Rhode Island, Vanderbilt, Duquesne, St. Joe’s, LaSalle, Fordham, UMass, Southern Virginia, vcu
Losses: Texas, Providence, Charlotte, Richmond, Dayton, St. Bonaventure (x2)

Stats: https://davidsonwildcats.com/sports/mens-basketball/stats/2020-21?path=mbball
Davidson is led by 6’5” Kellan Grady (16.8 ppg & 4.7 reb), 6’7” Hyunjung Lee (13.2 ppg & 4.3 reb), 6’3” Carter Collins (11.9 ppg & 4.0 reb), and 6’10” Luka Brajkovic (10.3 ppg & 6.1 reb). 6’9” Sam Mennenga (6.7 ppg & 4.9 reb) is the fifth starter. 4 other guys average double figure minutes off the bench but don’t produce much in the way of stats.
Davidson averages 71.9 points per game while giving up 63.4. The Wildcats shoot 47.6% from the floor and 35.7% from 3. Opponents are shooting 41.8% from the field and 34.0% from 3. They shoot 68.3% from the free throw line. The Wildcats are currently out rebounding by their opponents by 5.4 boards per game. They average 10.7 turnovers per game.
The game is on NBCSN.
My prediction: They have great size, defend well, rebound well, and shoot well. In short, they are better than us. This will be a win for the Wildcats. Our season ends and the boards blow up with continued speculation about DP and whether he keeps his job or becomes a snake oil salesman in the southwest. Davidson 72 - Mason 63.
