This comment I agree with, wholeheartedly. They'll be fine, and we'll be fine. I do think the general assertions about our defensive prowess are accurate in terms of A10-era results, but not accurate when they impugn our effort. This is an area that we will get better at, as our recruiting improves every year. If we're being fair, we've not defended well, and most posters have acknowledged that on our own board. We showed hints of improvement late last season, our new corps of perimeter players promises continued improvement, and our upcoming recruiting classes will determine whether we add frontcourt players that can seal the deal (following the graduation of Magarity, Aldridge, Ekwu, et al).
I'm optimistic. |

| I'm also optimistic that an increase in overall size in both forecourt and backcourt will make for better perimeter defense as well as more difficulty for penetrating guards. |

More glorious FAKE NEWS from the source - WIKIPEDIA - Topic Davidson Men's BB Hall of Fame BB honorees: Steph Curry '17, and he has graduated this year, too. Wonderful thing that First Amendment.

| A couple of years ago I checked out a high school classmate, Billy Bryan, (Duke ' 77 all american football and Denver Broncos center) on wikipedia,. They claimed he played the role of the Stay Puff Marshmellow 'monster' on the movie Ghostbusters. I called Billy's brother (couldn't find Billy )to verify, and he said that was crap.. A couple of days later wikipedia had deleted the claim. |

| If I recall correctly a DC poli sci professor used to assign students to go on Wiki and edit/correct/improve entries. I guess you have to learn something pretty well to explain it to others and it provided writing practice. |

| Maybe Steph's issue with graduation was insufficient PE credits and his recent golf play has resolved it. |

Not sure whether you are joking, but just in case not: There's a big difference between what in all probability was an error and the intentional creation of so-called fake news. I take the First Amendment very seriously. Its protections don't end when the media make an error, intentional or not.
Please remember the other things the First Amendment addresses:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." |

Is this the argument people who ask passionate fans to sit down employ?

Air-B50: Of course, I was trolling for humor, as is my want. I too seek every opportunity to protect and preserve the individual rights uniquely bestowed on Americans by our own Bill of Rights.
By pointing out the egregious error published by WIKI, I simply acknowledged that they had an absolute right to do so without fear of retribution, punishment or censure - the only adverse consequence being my sarcastic condemnation of their stupidity.
