What to Know

The Davidson Wildcats will square off against the College of Charleston Cougars at 7 p.m. ET Thursday at TD Arena. The two teams each escaped (but just barely!) with wins against their previous opponents.

Things were close when Davidson and the VMI Keydets clashed on Sunday, but the Wildcats ultimately edged out the opposition 75-71. The overall outcome was to be expected, but VMI made it more of a game than the oddsmakers had predicted. Davidson got double-digit scores from five players: guard Foster Loyer (17), guard Grant Huffman (15), guard Desmond Watson (11), guard Connor Kochera (11), and forward Sam Mennenga (10).

Speaking of close games: College of Charleston narrowly escaped with a win as the squad sidled past the Richmond Spiders 92-90.

The wins brought Davidson up to 3-0 and the Cougars to 2-1. A pair of defensive stats to keep an eye on: The Wildcats are stumbling into the matchup with the 41st most points allowed per game in college basketball, having given up 77.3 on average. College of Charleston has experienced some struggles of their own as they are 359th worst in college basketball in points allowed per game, with 90 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
