Davidson had won nine games in a row entering their Atlantic-10 Tournament matchup with La Salle, but the Wildcats came out flat and found themselves down as much as 18 points in the first half. Jack Gibbs (22 points) and Tyler Kalinowski (18 points) powered Davidson’s second half comeback. In the final 20 minutes, the Wildcats only made two field goals that weren’t from three-point range.

After forcing a late La Salle miss, Davidson got one last chance down a point. Kalinowski drove the ball and finished at the basket as the final buzzer sounded. Our own Rodger Sherman was courtside and captured the shot:
Davidson 67, La Salle 66. The win means the top-seeded Wildcats stay alive to set up a matchup with the winner of VCU-Richmond.
