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
