DAVIDSON, N.C. – The La Salle men's basketball team dropped a 71-64 decision at Davidson in Atlantic 10 action at Belk Arena on Sunday afternoon, moving to 8-21 overall and 4-12 in conference play.

In his 100th career game, graduate guard Truth Harris led the Explorers with 17 points on 5-for-10 shooting, including 3-for-5 from deep and a perfect 4-for-4 at the line, while also recording two steals and reaching the 600-point and 100-steal milestones for his collegiate career. 

Redshirt sophomore guard Rob Dockery added 15 points, five rebounds, and three steals.

Sophomore guard Jaden Johnson finished with eight points, a season-high six rebounds, and a team-leading four assists.

La Salle opened the contest with confidence, racing to a 15-5 advantage in the first seven minutes behind aggressive defense and timely shot-making. Davidson responded with a 15-2 run to seize the lead, and the teams traded baskets throughout a tightly contested first half. The Wildcats entered the break up 33-27.

In the second half, the Explorers closed the gap to three points on several occasions, thanks to strong drives from Harris and inside play from Dockery. Davidson answered each run with efficient execution, stretching its lead to as many as 13 late in the game. Despite La Salle's free throw accuracy and defensive pressure, the Wildcats maintained control down the stretch, sealing the result with key buckets in the final minutes.
