I feel bad for this years team. Lot of effort but not much in results. A statistical observation: We are 102 in offensive efficiency ratings but 187 in defensive efficiency. Eyeball test indicates our problem is offense, stats say otherwise- though we’re not good at either one. What efficiency rati...

Very dubious foul, but you can’t bring your hand down like that.

You cannot, especially on the road, when you should know that King is trying to get the foul called more than he's trying to make the shot.

Maybe we should hire Gerdy as a shooting coach. I do not remember him missing much and I think his era was pre 3 point shot. We have Jack Gibbs on the staff. #7 on the all-time 3 point %age list at Davidson, right behind Hyunjung Lee and only a couple of points behind Steph Curry: Matt McKillop.

I will miss the game do to a work trip
Therefore Cats will win a home conference game
You are welcome

Unclear whether waitress should be allowed to check the score or not. Seeing a Cats lead and pulling up the game on ESPN+ is definitely off the table.

Other than Frank Ben Eze, to whom this award is dedicated, have we ever had another bench player come in and get 3 blocks? Adam even blocked a three ball right in front of the GMU bench. I'd call that pretty disruptive.

Sean Logan has done it 3 times this year.

56-52 at 23.1 Did their last block look like a goaltend on TV? It did from my angle at courtside. On Reid from behind as he shot in front of goal? If so, no. Very close, but no way to say that is a goaltend. The shot from behind Reed showed that he let it go from above the rim, but it was blocked r...

Man, the announcer is heaping praises on Bailey, even as he has missed a couple of bunnies.

Come back Mac! You’ve wandered off again.

Other notes about the 16-17 team players: Jack Gibbs, as I understand it, was not as heavily recruited as one might expect because of a knee injury in high school. He missed a stretch in 14-15 with an injury and I'm recalling that he played all of 16-17 with basically one arm because of a shoulder i...

I was chatting with a Wildcat yesterday, trying to remember Oskar Mikelsen's name. My friend was complaining about the general decline in our roster in terms of athleticism. I pulled up the 2016-17 roster. Those guys would mop the court with the 2023-24 Wildcats. Study this roster for a moment: htt...

This is THE key for Davidson basketball. This is our 10th season in the A-10 and we've made the NCAA tourney 3 times: 2015: 3 pt shooting % 38.7, 25th in the nation 2018: 38.9, 28th 2022: 38.5, 4th (line got moved back between 18 and 22) Given our athletic limitations noted in another thread, the Ca...

Middle of the 4th, W's up by 8, Steph trying to lock it down for his team and: 5:55 Jacob Gilyard blocks Stephen Curry 's 10-foot two point shot I'm guessing Jacob broke out the "too short" taunt after this. Also he made 5 3's to Steph's 4. I'll still take Steph. At least Gilyard has the good sense ...

We had no answer for that pull-up jumper from the elbow. Matt talked about this in the post-game. It was a specific play where they would ball screen for King to go left, we’d cover that, and he’d turn around and go right back by the same screener to the right and we’d be lost. I couldn’t tell if h...

I laughed out loud when I read graveline’s post above. Then I read this article https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/39288631/ncaa-further-evaluate-proposal-where-schools-pay-athletes Wherein the president and chairman of the NCAA both say that they are looking to Congress to solve the pro...

Indeed.
