What to Know

We've got another exciting Atlantic 10 matchup on schedule as the Loyola Chi. Ramblers and the Davidson Wildcats are set to tip at 7:00 p.m. ET on March 6th at Belk Arena. Davidson is favored, but seeing as the odds didn't stop Loyola Chi. in their last game, maybe the team has another upset up their sleeve.

Winning is just a little bit easier when you work as a team to rack up ten more assists than your opponent, a fact Loyola Chi. proved on Friday. They walked away with a 77-72 win over the Flyers.

Loyola Chi. relied on the efforts of Des Watson, who scored 24 points along with two steals, and Braden Norris, who shot 4-for-7 from deep and dropped a double-double on 19 points and 11 assists. It was the first time this season that Norris posted ten or more assists. Philip Alston was another key contributor, scoring 13 points along with seven rebounds and two blocks.

Meanwhile, Davidson's recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Saturday after their third straight loss. They fell just short of the Minutemen by a score of 69-67.

Even though the team lost, they still had their share of impressive performances. One of the best came from Reed Bailey, who scored 22 points along with five rebounds. Another player making a difference was Connor Kochera, who scored 16 points along with six rebounds.

The Ramblers' victory was their sixth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 21-8. Those good results were due in large part to their offensive dominance across that stretch, as they averaged 75.5 points per game. As for the Wildcats, they have been struggling recently as they've lost four of their last five matchups, which put a noticeable dent in their 15-14 record this season.

Loyola Chi. beat Davidson 76-63 in their previous matchup back in February. The rematch might be a little tougher for Loyola Chi. since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
