SEATTLE, Wash. – Aaron White scored a game-high 26 points on 11-of-14 shooting to lead No. 7 seed Iowa to an 83-52 victory over No. 10 seed Davidson in the second round of the 2015 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament Friday at KeyArena.
The Hawkeyes, who will face the winner of Gonzaga/North Dakota State on Sunday, shot 58.8 percent after intermission to finish with a 50.7 percent clip.
Davidson, which earned its first-ever at-large bid and 13th tournament appearance in school history, concludes the season 24-8 overall. In addition, the Wildcats captured the Atlantic 10 Regular Season Championship in their first year.
Despite the setback, Jack Gibbs and Peyton Aldridge paced Davidson with 14 points each.
The Wildcats, who entered as one of the top offensive and 3-point shooting teams in the nation, shot just 33.3 percent and went just 6-of-28 from long range.
Mike Gesell and Peter Jok joined White in double figures for Iowa (22-11) with 15 and 12 points, respectively.
Shortly after Tyler Kalinoski, the A-10 Player of the Year, was whistled for his third foul, Iowa took advantage with an 18-4 run to go up, 34-19, with 4:17 left in the first half. Davidson responded with a small spurt of its own to cut the deficit to 38-29 at the break.
After the Wildcats made it a six-point contest early in the second half, the Hawkeyes responded with an 18-3 streak capped off by 13 straight from White to push the margin to 62-41.
The two teams combined to commit just 11 turnovers, while the Hawkeyes held a commanding 46-30 advantage on the glass.
