Box Score Davison, N.C. - Austria has given the world many things, including Wiener Schnitzel, Red Bull, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. The one thing the Fordham men's basketball program wish they didn't give to Davidson is Luke Brajkovic, who recorded a double-double for the Wildcats with 15 points and eleven rebounds, to lead Davidson to a 66-45 Atlantic 10 win over the Rams in Belk Arena.
 
With the loss, Fordham falls to 13-14 overall, 6-9 in the Atlantic 10, while Davison improves to 24-4, a league-best 14-2 in the conference.
 
The Rams were led by grad student guard Chuba Ohams, who notched his 17th double-double of the year with 15 points and ten rebounds.
 
The Rams trailed by five at the break, 28-23, but the Brajkovic scored the first seven points of the second half for Davidson as the Wildcats took a 35-25 lead five minutes into the second half and never looked back.
 
After the Rams took a 3-0 lead on a Josh Colon-Navarro three 22 seconds into the game, Davidson scored 16 unanswered points to take a 16-3 lead with 11:24 left.
 
The Rams then used an 18-3 run to take their first lead of the day, 21-19, on a pair of Ohams free throws with 4:27 on the clock. But the Wildcats outscored Fordham 9-2 over the final four minutes to take a 28-23 lead at the break.
