Five Wildcats reached double figures, led by Kellen Grady's 19 points (8-of-9 shooting) as Davidson shot 72% overall on the night and 11-of-17 from three. Jon Axel Gudmunsson added 15 points and a game-high seven assists.
Hyunjung Lee and Luka Brajkovic (10 points) combined for an 8-of-11 performance from the floor and 21 points in the opening 20 minutes to set the tone for the Wildcats, which used runs of 16-2 and 18-3 to break it open early.
At the other end, Carl Pierre and Tre Mitchell had seven points apiece for a Minuteman squad that struggled from the floor out of the gates (9-of-26).
