Davidson Wildcats Exhibit Grace Under Pressure
December 31, 2008
I am a Davidson Mom. My daughter is a junior at Davidson and is friends with many of the players. Because of this I have become a huge Davidson fan and joined Bleacher report to read (and possibly write) articles about Davidson Basketball. The season Davidson had last year was such an incredible experience for anyone involved with Davidson. The Davidson story is so much bigger than Steph Curry's statistics. I hope to bring a more personal perspective to the comments and writing about Davidson basketball. I went to UVA when it was a huge ACC powerhouse but the team and the students were completely segregated. At Davidson there is a big difference. The players are totally integrated into every aspect of campus life . When they play, they are not playing for their fans. They are playing for their friends. It is a wonderful and unique thing to witness.
BC plays to the level of their competition more than any other team I've seen.
Clemson, who knows?
Davidson will have to shoot well from 3 if they don't have Steph. Good thing fro them they have the shooters to do so. Some inside scoring from Lovedale would help the cause, though. But if they have to play Butler w/o Curry, they'll be in trouble.
Hi Elizabeth
1) I thought Clemson was done being a schizzo team after beating Duke. Looks like I was wrong.
2) I live in the Boston area and there's a lot of young, unknown talent on BC. I'm only a little surprised they won. The lack of post scoring continues to be a major weakness for Duke.
3) It will be very interesting to see how Davidson does w/o Curry. Will their guys pick up the slack?
