La Salle Eliminated In A-10 Tourney By Davidson Buzzer-Beater
NEW YORK (AP) — Tyler Kalinoski beat the clock with a driving layup to cap a crazy comeback by No. 24 Davidson and the Wildcats topped La Salle 67-66 in the Atlantic 10 quarterfinals on Friday.
Top-seeded Davidson (24-6) trailed almost the entire game and was down nine after Jerrell Wright's dunk for the Explorers with 4:45 left, but ninth-seeded La Salle (17-16) didn't score another point.
Kalinoski started the rally with a 3 and then capped it by cutting through the Explorers, finding room to flip up a scoop shot that bounced around the rim and through the net as the clock ran out.
Steve Zack dominated inside for La Salle with 24 points and 15 rebounds and Wright had 19.
Jack Gibbs led Davidson with 22 points and had a chance to tie with 1:19 left when he hit a 3 and was fouled, but missed the free throw.
