FINAL RECORD
29-7, 20-0 in the Southern Conference (first place)

WHAT WENT RIGHT
What didn't? It's hard to argue with a 29-7 record, including a 25-game winning streak. Stephen Curry lived up to the hype following his outstanding freshman season, Jason Richards played like one of the top point guards in the country and everyone on the squad contributed to the magical run through the NCAA Tournament. The Wildcats wanted to make a splash on the national stage, and they certainly did that in a big way.

WHAT WENT WRONG
The Wildcats were so dominant, it's hard to find any statistical category that the team didn't rank in the top half of the league in. The team's 3-point defense did rank ninth in the 11-team Southern Conference. Early in the season, losing big leads to UCLA and North Carolina was part of a 4-6 start to the campaign.

QUOTE TO NOTE
"We made history for our school. Not a lot of people expected a lot from us, so I'm proud of what we have accomplished, but it hurts a lot to have been this close to the Final Four." -- Davidson guard Stephen Curry

I read one post and then another confirming it saying that Frank Ben-Eze has committed to Davidson.  I've seen him listed as 6'10" or even 6'11" on some sites.  If all goes well, he will be the big post presence that Davidson has sometimes lacked in the past.

Anybody have any ideas about next year's starting lineup? I have been thinking about in the past week and I figure that the locks for the starting lineup are Stephen Curry, Andrew Lovedale, Max Paulus Gosselin, and Stephen Rossieter. That will give us a pretty big front line. The question then becomes who runs the point? If this role is given to Curry, I would expect Bryant Barr (The White Lob ...(more)

Hey guys, I'm trying to set up a sim league starting next season, where a simulator plays out the game and gives you realistic scores and stuff, and your Wildcats are still available! If you are interested or have any questions feel free to e-mail me at dosegorillaz@aim.com.

He shows that he is easily one of the top 5 players in the country, and then instead of goin pro right away, he sets a good example and says he'll stay for his junior year. I really look up to Stephon Curry.

Bob McKillop was on sports radio in Raleigh yesterday. He talked for maybe 15 minutes. He was asked if he would commit to coming back to Davidson next year or whether there were any positions he would be interested. In a very coy answer he said that the Governor's position in New York was open along with some Vice-Presidential positions. He never directly answered the question which worries me ...(more)

Stephen Curry has gotten a lot of credit for leading the Wildcats to the Elite Eight, but we Wildcat fans know that Bob McKillop is just as responsible. His record at Davidson is legendary. It is great to see the NABC recognize this and honor one of the games greatest coaches.

So many were pulling for a Davidson win over Kansas, including me.

It was easy to get behind such an amazingly talented team, who played the underdog for each tournament game.

Sorry for your loss.

Curry's a future NBA star.
