The Baker Sports Complex and John M. Belk Arena — with 5,700 seats forbasketball — is the centerpiece of the Wildcats’ athletics facilities and theheart of Davidson basketball.

Nine NCAA Tournament banners, numerous Southern Conference champi-onship pennants, four NIT flags and retired jerseys with names like Hetzel,Snyder, Gerdy, Cobb and Rucker hang from the rafters that reflect theWildcats’ proud basketball history.

The Wildcats have enjoyed tremendous success in Belk Arena, posting awinning record on their home court for the past 16 seasons — including aperfect 13-0 slate in 2003-04.

As the Wildcats have hosted some of the nation’s top teams, including oppo-nents from the ACC, SEC, Big East, Atlantic 10 and Conference USA, BelkArena has become a sanctuary for the ‘Cats — and the exact opposite fortheir opponents.

10

The Wildcats have won 73 of 82home games over the last six sea-sons and currently boast a 181-58(.757) overall record in BelkArena. That record is even moreimpressive since rejoining theSoCon in 1992-93 at 168-35 (.828).

Davidson’s overtime victory over Penn onNov. 28, 2000, was the Wildcats’ 100th victoryin Belk Arena.

“Even though Belk Arena holds 6,000, it feels like we just played in an NBAarena. The fans are in the game from start to finish and give us a boost every timewe step on the court. Our success at home is an attribute to our fans.”Stephen Curry ‘10

Davidson College was recently named one of 25 “New Ivies” by Newsweek magazine, along with the likes ofNew York University, the University of North Carolina, Vanderbilt, the University of Virginia and UCLA.

The magazine selected the schools based on admissions statistics as well as interviews with administrators, faculty,students and alumni.

aCademiC­exCellenCeaCademiC­exCellenCeDavidson students explore the liberal arts curriculum in depth and enjoy close faculty collaboration.With 1,700 students, the college is large enough for a diverse and invigorating intellectual engage-ment, but small enough to foster individual experience and opportunity.

Davidson offers over 850 courses offered and supports 21 majors and 12 academic concentrations.Students may participate in pre-law, pre-medicine, pre-dentistry or dual-degree engineering pro-grams or may design their own independent study classes or interdisciplinary majors.

Students may also apply for funds to support research and travel, and many opportunities exist forsummer research positions with Davidson faculty.

Davidson leads the industry on affordability initiatives by meeting 100 percent of demonstrated finan-cial need with a combination of grants and student employment. At Davidson, financial aid packages donot include a loan component.

Davidson believes that its educational offerings should be affordable for every admitted student, regard-less of a family’s financial means. Thanks to Davidson’s commitment to need-blind admission, a stu-dent’s character, accomplishments and academic potential are the only factors in the decision—not abilityto pay.

This time last year, Davidson basketballcould have passed the plate among itsSouthern Conference brethren and maybecome away with a sympathy card or two.Well, on second thought, maybe not. Still,Davidson had graduated seven seniorsfrom the 2006 Southern Conference cham-pions, a team that went on to lead Big Tenchampion Ohio State at halftime in theNCAA tournament before losing a closegame. Included among those seven sen-iors lost were the team's two leading scor-ers and its leader in assists.

Last year's Wildcats were picked to fin-ish fourth in the SoCon South Division.There were no expectations for the team -except those held by coach Bob McKillop,his staff and players. They were not readyto surrender an inch. Not only were theynot buying what the prognosticators werepeddling, they turned it around and usedit as motivation.

The Davidson basketball family adopt-ed a one-word slogan before the start oflast season, which was, “Surprise.” Led bythree superb junior leaders, a sophomoredefensive stopper, and a freshman sensa-tion who would go on to become the con-ference's Rookie of the Year, the Wildcatswon a school-record 29 games, sweptthrough the conference regular season

with a record of 17-1, and then dominatedin the league tournament to win a secondstraight invitation to the NCAA tourna-ment.

A Davidson team that was given nochance to hang a championship bannerbecame even better than the excellentteam of the season before.

It was a sweet season, all right. But itended last March in snowy Buffalo.Underdog Davidson had powerfulMaryland breaking out in cold sweats inthe NCAA tournament. The Wildcats wereup by eight in the second half, but the lastthree minutes of the game swungMaryland's way, and resulted in a Terpsvictory. It was a game Davidson thought itcould have won. Should have finished thedeal but didn't. Not long after the charterflight from Buffalo brought the coachesand team home, coaches and players start-ed getting ready for this season.Sophomore Will Archambault haswatched tape of the Maryland game 10 or15 times. It's typical of the strong feelingthe players have about that game. Theywant to learn from their mistakes. Gettingto the NCAA tournament is great; gettingthere and winning some games is the goal.

While Davidson won't surprise anyonethis season, or sneak up on any of the

national powers on its schedule, oppo-nents should not count on complacencysetting in. It didn't happen in the off-sea-son, and it won't happen during the sea-son. That's a virtual guarantee. It's not tosuggest that Davidson is a lock to win acertain number of games, or hang anotherchampionship banner in Belk Arena.Nothing like that. But any failure the teammight have will not be brought on bycomplacency. Everyone connected withthe program worked too hard and smartgetting ready for the season to be compla-cent about anything.

“We respect every team on our sched-ule,” senior point guard Jason Richardssaid. “This season will have to stand on itsown legs. Last season is over.”

The 2007-08 Wildcats return everyscholarship player from last year's splen-did team, plus three freshmen who oneday will help McKillop win a lot moregames as Davidson's head coach.

The three primary team leaders are sen-iors Thomas Sander, point guard Richards,and Boris Meno. The defensive stopperreferred to above is junior Max PaulhusGosselin. Last year's freshman star,Stephen Curry, is a little bigger, somewhatstronger, a touch quicker than last year.

The ingredients are there for a memo-

Front Row (L-R): Jim Fox, Can Civi, Stephen Rossiter, Boris Meno, Jason Richards, Thomas Sander, Andrew Lovedale, Max Paulhus Gosselin, Jeremy Henney

Back Row (L-R): Ray Beltz, Brendan McKillop, Aaron Bond, William Archambault, Ben Allison, Bob McKillop, Dan Nelms, Bryant Barr, Mike Schmidt, Stephen Curry, Tim Sweeney

Richards was one of the best pointguards in the nation last year in his assistto error ratio. He is quicker and strongerthan last season. He dropped 10 poundsof body weight but added muscle andstrength with his off-season regimen. Heis poised and experienced, and knowswhen to push it and when to slow downa gear.

“He has an incredible feel for thegame,” Coach McKillop said, “and is asuperb leader for our team.”

Steph Curry will have a hard timeimproving on his spectacular freshmanseason. But don't be surprised if he does.He had a great summer of basketball,including playing for the USA-under 19team in the World Championships held in

Novi Sad, Serbia. He came to preseasonpractice in top shape, and his attitude sig-naled a determination that he's far fromsatisfied about his own play or his team's.

Curry has won national attention forhis exciting play as well as his fearless-ness. He also won a lofty complimentfrom Coach McKillop, who says, “Steph isalready the most complete and most tal-ented player that I've coached atDavidson. He has uncanny ability thatranges far beyond his basketball skills andathleticism. His extremely high basketballIQ gives him that rare combination ofhaving great basketball skills, athleticismand high intelligence. He is fearless, confi-dent, and humble. He is the perfect fit forthe Davidson basketball system and theequally perfect ambassador for the kindof program we desire. He is a model ofexcellence.”

Max Paulhus Gosselin, now a junior,

has improved to the point that he's devel-oped into a confident team leader, ayoung man who doesn't hesitate to callhimself a defensive stopper.

“Max keeps getting better because ofhis passion for excellence,” McKillop said.“His high energy will be a catalyst for ourdefense, rebounding and running. He's anextremely versatile player who has madehimself technically better.”

Will Archambault, a sophomore, hasthe size, strength and offensive versatilityto be a special player. McKillop is count-ing on as much. “He is the most giftedphysical talent that we have on the team,”the coach said. “We expect him to be ableto score inside and outside, and his skillsshould help him generate points on theglass, in transition, and create offensefrom his defense.”

Sophomore Bryant Barr suffered a boutof mononucleosis in August. It slowedsome of his preseason work, but McKillopsaid it was a temporary setback. “Bryant,through his hard work and dedication,has made great progress in his athleticism,strength and overall confidence. His quickfeet will assist him in becoming a gooddefender, and his ability to knock downshots will make opponents go out andguard him.”

Can Civi, a hardworking, tough junior,is a player that “burns with desire,”according to McKillop. “His work ethiccertainly gets the coaching staff's atten-tion,” McKillop said. “His challenge is tobe able to quarterback the team withinour system, and set the tone for ourdefense from his point guard position.”

Freshman Brendan McKillop, thecoach's son, has observed Davidson bas-ketball all his life. “I'm very impressedwith the consistency of his shot,” hiscoach said. “He's learning the role ofquarterback while learning a new system.

rable season, even by the standards setmy McKillop and his players. But thereare questions, and the one that stands outmost prominently is this: How willDavidson handle the pressure this seasonof playing as a marked team? The bull's-eye is painted brightly on the Davidsonuniform jersey.

McKillop and his players refuse to tryto silence the expectations or the basket-ball excitement that has swept the com-munity and campus for months. Bring iton, they say, and let's see how we handleit.

“We worked hard to get in this posi-tion, one where we've received nationalrecognition,” Thomas Sander said.“There's no reason for us to feel pressure.”

That's the approach that Davidson tookinto the campaign. Not cocky, not in theleast. Not complacent, not a chance.Confident and maybe a little bit sassy?Why not? They've earned that, too.

The­baCkCourTThe­baCkCourTHubert Davis, a former star at North

Carolina and a 12-year NBA veteran whois now an ESPN commentator, observedtwo Davidson practices in October andsaid he believed the backcourt duo ofRichards and Curry ranks among the bestin college basketball.

“Jason reshaped his body during theoff-season with hard work and dedica-tion,” Coach McKillop said. “He is deter-mined to make this his best Davidson sea-son.”

The more you see Richards play, themore you appreciate his game. “I watchedJason play and practice his first threeyears here,” said Davidson freshmanguard Brendan McKillop, “but you reallydon't know how good he is until you geton the court with him. His court vision isextraordinary.”

He's a quick learner who will improve ashe learns our system and it becomes sec-ond nature to him.”

Freshman Aaron Bond was hurt formuch of preseason practice, but CoachMcKillop says of him: “I'm impressedwith his shooting, knack for scoring, andcommitment to be a solid defender.” Bondis a versatile player who will continue toimprove as he learns Davidson's way ofplaying.

The­fronTCourTThe­fronTCourTMcKillop calls senior Thomas Sander

“The General” because of his toughnessand superb leadership skills. “He is theanchor of our post,” the coach said. “Hehas a high basketball IQ, and his tough-ness and determination make him anexcellent rebounder and defender. He wasextremely well coached in high school,and he brought those traits with him toDavidson and improved on them.”

Sander can score in transition, step outand hit the 3-point basket, and trigger thefast break with his defensive rebounding.

Boris Meno, another senior frontcourtplayer, wins praise from his coach becauseof his physical ability and his unselfishapproach to helping his team win. “Borisis confident and ready,” McKillop said, “tomake this his best year. His defensive ver-satility enables him to guard playersinside and outside. He is an integral partof our senior leadership group.”

Andrew Lovedale, a junior, has gainedmuch confidence. Davidson's radioannouncer gave Lovedale the sobriquet of“The Big Cat” because of his strength,speed and determination. “Andrewunderstands our system better each day,”McKillop said. “He's a tenacious defender,an excellent rebounder, and will get pointsfor us by the way he runs in transition. Herealizes the strengths of his game and

focuses on playing to those strengths.”Steve Rossiter, a redshirt sophomore, is

probably the most improved player onDavidson's team. “He's much quicker andmore active, and his basketball instinctsare superb,” McKillop said. Always aplayer who cheered on his teammatesfrom the bench, Rossiter is expected to getadditional playing time this season. “He isemerging as one of our future leaders,”McKillop said.

Dan Nelms, sophomore, is just a stepbehind Rossiter for the most improved.His work ethic wins the respect of team-mates and coaches. “Dan is willing to playany role on our team,” McKillop said. “Hewants to be the very best that he can be.

He is gaining confidence, and has achance to be a contributing factor for usthis season.”

Ben Allison, a freshman from England,is an athletic player who works hard anddemonstrated equal efficiency with postand perimeter skills. “Ben's skills, athleti-cism and work ethic give him a realchance to make a significant contributionto our program,” McKillop said.

The­davidson­wayThe­davidson­way** One of the goals of this team is to

improve the defense. McKillop thinks itshould be accomplished because of theexperience, additional physical strength,athleticism and versatility of his players.Max Paulhus Gosselin and Sander gener-ate a lot of enthusiasm on the team forplaying defense at a high standard.

** McKillop's teams love to play at afast pace, to get the ball up and down the

court with the fury of a perfect storm. Buthe has asked his players to improve inthat area this season by playing at an evenfaster pace without deviating from thesystem or turning the ball over. “Ourexperience and talent should help usgreatly in this area of play,” McKillop said.

** Point guard Richards puts it thisway: “We need to treat each possessionlike it's gold.”

** McKillop and his associate headcoach Matt Matheny have put togetheranother challenging schedule. It will testthe Wildcats the entire season. McKillopsays this year's schedule is the most rigor-ous a team of his has faced. “Several ofour opponents are nationally ranked,” hesaid. “Just look at the number of NationalChampionship banners won and FinalFour appearances earned by our oppo-nents. Can we play against teams thisgood and maintain our confidencethroughout the season? The way we han-dle this will be one of the keys to our sea-son.” For sure, the schedule will put theWildcats where McKillop is most comfort-able - on the Broadway stage.

** While Davidson is talented, deep andexperienced, it will not achieve its goals ifit maintains the status quo. All teams getbetter or go backwards. It's the nature ofthe athletic beast. “Can we improve, dayto day and over the entire season?”McKillop asked. “We must improve on adaily basis to get to where we want to go.”

** This is McKillop's 19th Davidsonteam. It could be his best one. Could be.That decision is still out. If it turns out tobe the case, it'll be because the journeywas taken a step at a time, eyes on the tar-get, and daily improvement becomes areality.

McKillop, his coaches and players, allembrace the challenge. It's post time in thevillage.

MENO’S MOM SAID FIRMLY, ‘DON’T GIVE UP’

Boris Meno's transition from his homeland of France tothe United States to play basketball and finish his highschool education was hardly an easy one. He was a youngman when he came to Philadelphia in 2002. Although hetook English in school in France and excelled at it, hequickly learned that Americans didn't speak that way.

So there he was, a stranger in a foreign country, goingto high school where he understood almost nothing thatwas being said, and then somehow had to figure out howto complete his school assignments. He wasn't exactlyoverwhelmed, either, with the number of people whorushed to help him. He was pretty much on his own, atleast temporarily.

From the time Meno watched an NBA game on televi-sion from his home in France, he knew that he wanted tocome to the United States to go to school, play college bas-ketball, and maybe one day get a chance to play profes-sionally in America. It was his dream, one that his motherdid not grasp fully. After all, basketball was played inFrance, too, so why couldn't Meno just play at home, go toschool, and forego all these complications of going to anew country far away?

“Although my mom didn't completely understand whyI wanted to come to America, she didn't prohibit me fromdoing it,” Meno recalls.

She saw how determined her son was, how he was upearly each morning to run, play basketball, and conditionhimself. A young man didn't work that hard unless he wasserious about his mission, and Meno was. A little intimi-dated, yes, but very determined. His mother sensed this ina way only a mother can. Love plus instincts equals under-standing.

Still, before he could come to America, Meno had to geta student visa from the U.S. Embassy in France. The entireinterview was conducted in English, and Meno recallsbeing stumped. His response to each question was,“Repeat, please.” The man conducting the interview grewexasperated and told Meno that he didn't know nearlyenough English to study in the United States and deniedhis visa. Meno was back the next day. This time a womanat the embassy questioned him and was much more help-ful. Student visa granted.

Meno's mother took him to the airport, to put her sonon an airplane for a trip to another life in a strange landwhere there would be many more questions than answers.She told Boris she would not cry at the airport. “But shedid cry,” Meno says. “She cried a lot, which made mydeparture even more difficult.”

Meno's life at The Shipley School in Philadelphia wasanything but easy. In addition to the language barrier, hehad left all of his friends in France. He was homesick anddiscouraged, so much so that he wanted to give up thisexperiment and return to France. After six months inAmerica, he told his mother that he wanted to come home.

“No,” she said firmly. “You made the decision to go toAmerica, so you need to make it work.” Maybe Meno wasshocked by his mother's reaction to his request to come

home. Maybe he needed the jolt that the denial provided.Probably it was just a mother being wiser about matters ofthis sort than anyone else.

“I probably would have gone back to France if my momhad said it was okay,” Meno says.

When high school basketball started in Philadelphiaand the team had some success, Meno found people morewilling to help him. Funny how that works, isn't it? Hehad a good year of basketball. College recruiters saw hispotential. But once his high school senior year was over,another siren sounded. Meno couldn't graduate, he wastold, until he took a summer course in English.

Until he got that message, he thought he was headed toSt. Joseph's in Philadelphia to go to school and play col-lege basketball. “It would have been a big mistake,” Menosaid. “I made the decision because I liked the city ofPhiladelphia a lot.”

Fate intervened. Meno decided on a year of prep schoolat Northfield-Mount Hermon in Massachusetts. Now thathe understood English better, he excelled academically andwas a very good basketball player, good enough that hedrew attention from the likes of North Carolina, UConn,Providence, Michigan State, Davidson, College ofCharleston and others. His final three college choices wereDavidson, College of Charleston and Michigan State. Hevisited Charleston and Davidson, cancelled the trip toMichigan State.

Davdson coach Bob McKillop and associate head coachMatt Matheny went to France twice to visit with Meno'smother. She was deeply impressed, so much so that shetold her son, “Stop this foolishness. Go to Davidson.”

“Some coaches told me, 'Come to our school and be astar.' Everybody wants to hear that, but at the end of theday, you need the truth. Coach McKillop didn't promiseme mountains. He said I would have to work for playingtime, and if I got it, I would have earned it.”

Meno is a starter, a tri-captain, Davidson's most accom-plished shot blocker and rebounder. He majors in French.He says his life in America and at Davidson has taughthim humility and the value of hard work. Although he's anexcellent student, he says he's probably “through withschool after this year.”

He wants to play professional basketball, then maybeteach school and coach basketball. “I would like to giveback some of what I've learned,” he says.

But before all those grownup decisions, there's one yearleft at Davidson. His senior year. His dream is to make ithis best. Knowing how far he's come and how much he'simproved, you wouldn't bet against him. Not against BorisMeno.

FEATURE ON JASON RICHARDS

Jason Richards wouldn't know what to do without sports.It's in his blood, and his family's blood. His father, TomRichards, was a point guard on the 1974 University ofPittsburgh team that lost in the NCAA tournament to eventualnational champion NC State, which featured the great DavidThompson. His mother, Mary Beth, was a forward on Pitt'swomen's basketball team. And his sister, Lindsay, was aMcDonald's High School All-American who went on to playbasketball at the University of Iowa.

After his senior season at Barrington High School inIllinois, where he broke 12 individual school basketball records,it was time to decide on a college. Big decision. Richards want-ed a great academic school that also took basketball seriously.He considered Colgate, Furman, Ohio, Yale, Columbia andDavidson.

His first recruiting trip was to Davidson. Gorgeous campus,friendly people, cool little town, Charlotte only a few minutesaway, top-flight academics. He found those things and more.He found a basketball family.

The first day of his visit, Kenny Grant, Davidson's return-ing point guard and the man Richards could be competing withfor playing time, took Richards aside and filled him in. Gavehim the inside scoop, what to do and not to do. A strong friend-ship was forged.

“The players on the team welcomed me with open arms,”Richards recalls. “There was a real team atmosphere here. Icould feel it from the minute I met the players. The coaches …they were terrific. Coach McKillop gave me straight answers toall my questions. Everything about Davidson just felt right tome.”

Especially the way he was treated by Kenny Grant. “I can'tthank Kenny enough for what he did for me while he washere,” says Richards, who played behind Grant at point guardfor two seasons. “He was my mentor. I learned a lot from him,and it made my transition from high school to college basket-ball so much easier.”

Richards is trying to do for freshman Brendan McKillopwhat Grant did for him. Last summer you could see the two ofthem sweating in the sweltering heat while working out in thetraining room together, or playing basketball at Baker. “I see itas sort of returning the favor, trying to help Brendan in thesame ways that Kenny helped me.”

It's the Davidson Way, the program designed and nurturedby coach Bob McKillop. Seamless and unselfish, one for all.“When you help others,” the coach tells his players, “you alsohelp yourself.”

Richards learned the lesson well. As a senior, he preaches it.After playing behind Grant for two seasons, Richards

emerged as a star at point guard last season. He was second inthe nation in assists, led the SoCon in assist to turnover ratio,was voted first-team All Conference by the league's coaches,made the SoCon All-Tournament team. “I sort of surprisedmyself at how well I did,” he confesses.

Richards has a hard time believing that this is his last sea-son of Davidson basketball. Senior leadership comes with theterritory. He relishes the challenge.

“Although we have most of our players back from last sea-

son,” Richards says, “this is still a new team. Thomas (Sander),Boris (Meno) and I have accomplished a lot, but we want more.We want to go to the NCAA tournament and win some games.Our players worked hard in the off-season, and I think all of ushave improved.”

Richards and his fellow seniors have won 72 games atDavidson and lost only 25. They are 43 wins and six losses inthe SoCon. They've been to the NCAA tournament twice, thepostseason NIT once.

After winning a school record 29 games last season, theexpectations for this year's Davidson team are out the window.Richards says he and his teammates won't let expectations stiflethem.

“We know we'll have a target on our back,” Richards said.“That's okay. It's nice, really. Coach asked us after last season ifwe wanted to become a top team. We all said yes, so he wentout and put this tough schedule together. Our goal is to get bet-ter every day. That's the way we need to approach the entireseason. The Southern Conference is a very tough league, andwe'll need to be at our best each game.”

Richards says he and his teammates “grew a lot as a team”when they took Maryland to the wire in the NCAA tournamentlast March before seeing the game slip away late. “We got upeight in the second half,” Richards says. “Maybe we became toohappy with our success. We really feel we could have won ourlast two NCAA tournament games against Ohio State andMaryland. I think it certainly showed our young players thatwe're capable of competing with the best in the nation. At thesame time, it showed all of us that we have to finish games andbe at our best for 40 minutes.”

Richards started getting ready for the season the day afterthe Maryland game last March. He spent most of the summerin Davidson working out. He came to practice this season 10pounds lighter but with more muscle. He called it a 12-monthcommitment that featured proper diet, conditioning, runningthree or four miles a day -- and a whole lot of basketball.

History is his academic major. After graduation, he wantsto continue his basketball playing, and after that, possibly acareer in sports marketing. As he embarks on his senior season,Richards thinks back to the spring of his senior year in highschool when he was selecting a college. Such is always a hugedecision for a young person, at times quite a gamble. ForDavidson's starting point guard, it's been like a storybook.

“I mean it sincerely when I say I couldn't have experiencedanything that would top my time at Davidson,” Richards says.“If you would let me write a script for my college life, I couldn'timprove on it. It's been that special. It's been what CoachMcKillop told me it would, and a whole lot more. We're a fami-ly here.”

In retrospect, maybe Richards would change one thingabout his Davidson career. “Maybe so,” he concedes. “We wantto return to the NCAA tournament and win some games. Thatwould make it perfect.”

SANDER NEARLY GAVE UP HIS BASKETBALL DREAM

Thomas Sander had a terrific basketball season as a jun-ior at Elder High in Cincinnati. He was named first-teamAll-Greater Catholic League as well as honorable mentionall-district. He was being recruited by more than a handfulof colleges, although not by his childhood favorite - Xavier.

Things were going as planned. Or, were they? Thinkingthat some of the college coaches who were recruiting himwere blowing more smoke than talking to him honestly,Sander made the startling decision not to play basketballhis senior season at Elder. Instead, he would just attend hislocal University of Cincinnati as a regular student. He wasone of the best students in his class, and if basketball wasnot going to be a part of his college life, then so be it.

Sander had played sports all his life. He played foot-ball, basketball and baseball in junior high. Stuck exclu-sively to basketball in high school. His father played foot-ball at Xavier, and Thomas was a regular at Xavier basket-ball games for his entire boyhood. He recalls the coachesthere during that time: Pete Gillen, Skip Prosser, ThadMotta. He loved that team. So giving up basketball was abig deal for him.

“Just before the start of practice my senior season, Ibegan thinking about my decision again,” Sander says. “Iasked myself, 'Why am I not playing?' When I thought itall out, I decided to play my senior season, not sure whereit would lead me.”

Lucky Davidson.Davidson coach Bob McKillop and assistant coach Jim

Fox knew about Sander and traveled to Cincinnati on afairly regular basis to watch him play. They liked histoughness, unselfish approach to the game, leadershipskills and ability to score inside against collapsing defens-es. They also admired his academic position of top fivepercent in the Elder High senior class.

While Sander thought that some college recruiters were“fake,” and was turned off by them, the approach ofMcKillop and Fox hit him in the face like a fresh summerbreeze. “They were genuine and honest with me,” Sandersaid. “They looked me in the eye and told me the truth,even if all of it wasn't exactly what I wanted to hear.”

On his recruiting visit to Davidson during April of hishigh school senior year, the village put on its best springshow, which didn't hurt, either. The cherry blossoms left apink trail along the brick sidewalks. Sander was impressedwith the coaches, the family atmosphere of Davidson'splayers, the academics, the lovely little town, Belk Arena.All of it. Call it a slam dunk. Sander committed to theWildcats on the visit - and there's never been a regret, nota one.

“My Davidson experience has been unbelievable,” hesays. “While our basketball team is very close, we alsohave friends on campus who have nothing to do with bas-ketball. As for Coach McKillop, he's a great ambassadorfor Davidson. He's genuine, likes to know what's going on.He shows up everywhere: games, at class, for differentspeakers. Family and God are very important to him, andhe's passionate about basketball.”

This is not to say there haven't been some disappoint-ments for Sander along the way.

“My freshman season, we went 16-0 in conference, did-n't win the tournament and didn't get to go to the NCAAtournament,” Sander said. “My sophomore season, wewon the conference tournament and got to go to theNCAAs to play Ohio State. That was cool, even though welost. Last year, going to the tournament was not enough.We wanted to win a game.”

After winning a Davidson-record 29 games last season,and sweeping through the Southern Conference regularseason and postseason tournament, Sander was excitedabout Davidson's first-round NCAA tournament draw.Maryland was one of the best teams in the storied AtlanticCoast Conference.

Sander thought Davidson would win the game. He wascertain about it. He had reasons to feel that way. Davidsonled 52-44 with just over 17 minutes to play. Maryland'slead was only four with 2:50 to play and Davidson had theball.

“We got five straight stops,” Sander recalls, “and thentook some bad shots. We got out of our system just longenough to let the game to slip away.”

With the sting of that loss still on his heart, Sanderworked hard during the spring and summer. Now he andclose friends Jason Richards and Boris Meno are seniorleaders. They had the same leadership role last season, sonothing really new there. But now he's a senior. “I can'tbelieve how fast it went by,” he says.

Sander is an excellent student, a curious and articulateyoung man. He loves to read, watches the DiscoveryChannel on television, enjoys finance, banking and eco-nomics. He thinks he'd like to work in Charlotte, NewYork or Cincinnati after graduation. He's not sure if hewants to play basketball beyond this season.

“Basketball has been very important to me,” he says. “Iwouldn't have left Cincinnati had it not been for basket-ball. I wouldn't have come to Davidson. I wouldn't haveexperienced living in the South. I wouldn't have thefriends on campus that I have now. I enjoy basketball somuch, but I'm not sure I would choose to play overseasafter this year. I'll wait and see on that.”

Meanwhile, Sander knows the dream of going back tothe NCAA tournament will be a long and difficult journey.Plenty of roadblocks are ahead. He's prepared himselfwell. He knows there are no guarantees, not in this sport,not in this life. But when it comes to examining ThomasSander's career, we do know this.

Lucky Davidson.

CIVI HOPES DAVIDSON’S SEASON IS A LONG ONE

Most of Can Civi's playing time at this point in hisDavidson career has come in practice, which might notthrill him, but he's not complaining, either. He's a competi-tor who long dreamed of playing college basketball inAmerica, and competitors want to be on the court, not onthe bench.

However, Civi's hard work in practice, his spirit anddesire, his toughness and competitiveness, are not over-looked by Davidson coach Bob McKillop, who says of hisjunior point guard: “Can loves Davidson and his team-mates. He's strong, tough, competes hard in practice eachday, and his hard work and unselfishness help make us abetter team. He has made significant contributions to oursuccess.”

Civi has been part of two Davidson teams that won 49games and two Southern Conference championships.When as a young boy he first thought of playing collegebasketball in the United States, his dream was to partici-pate in the NCAA tournament. Both of Civi's teams havedone that.

Civi grew up in Istanbul, Turkey, and attended UskudarAmerican Academy. All of his teachers taught their classesin English, which would later become a great benefit toCivi.

Civi first started playing basketball at the age of 10. Heplayed for Efes Pilsea, one of the best basketball programsin Europe, and spent eight years with that group. He sayshe fell in love with basketball when he first went to a sum-mer basketball camp as a young boy. Up until then hissporting life had been limited to soccer and swimming.But once he laced up his basketball sneakers, that waspretty much it. Basketball was his game. And as he playsas a college junior in Division 1 basketball, he says themore he's around the game and involved in it, the more heloves it.

Several things whetted Civi's appetite about playingcollege basketball in the United States. He knew the Atsurbrothers, Enre and Engin, who played for his Efes Pilseaclub team. Enre came to America and played at WesternCarolina while Engin became a key member of the basket-ball team at NC State. In addition, Civi began watchingNBA games on television. The more basketball he saw, andthe more he heard about European players such as theAtsurs having success in the sport in America, the moredetermined Civi was to play here.

One day Civi said to his father, “I'm going to go to theUnited States to play college basketball.” Kids are alwayssaying things to their parents like that, so Mr. Civi didn'ttake it too seriously at first. But as he learned how deter-mined his son was to accomplish the goal, he investigatedwhat such a life might be like for his son. One of Mr. Civi'sfriends knew Ali Ton, a former Davidson point guard, whospoke highly of the academic and basketball life atDavidson, and highly recommended it.

Coach McKillop saw Civi play at basketball camp andwas impressed. A scholarship to Davidson was offered andaccepted. “I was thrilled with the chance to come to

Davidson,” Civi said. “Davidson was definitely mychoice.”

As noted earlier, teachers who spoke English taught allof Civi's classes at Uskudar American Academy. It provedto be a huge advantage for Civi when he arrived atDavidson to begin school. There was no language barrierto overcome such as there was for his teammate BorisMeno when he came to America from France.

That's not to say that leaving Turkey for the UnitedStates didn't present some problems. There were issues,plenty of them. “It's not easy to leave your family andfriends behind and go to another country,” Civi said. “Istruggled with some things my freshman year and felt Ihad to face them pretty much alone. It's tough for me totalk to people about my problems.” He persevered andgrew stronger from the experience.

Overall, how did he find life in America?“Amazing,” he replied. “I couldn't believe how nice

everyone was to me. I would pass a stranger on the streetand he'd say, 'Hi.' That's different from the way it is inIstanbul.”

Civi also had to adjust to what Americans eat and howfast they eat it. His mother did almost all of the cookingfor him and his family, and he grew up eating lots of veg-etables. Olive oil is favored in Turkey, butter in the UnitedStates. Civi also saw many fried foods featured in America.He was truly amazed at how quickly Americans swal-lowed their food, often eating as if they're double-parked.Civi was used to the European style where family andfriends often take two or three hours to eat a meal. Theydo more talking and visiting than eating, and they aren'trushed the way we seem to be here. “We talk and chill outmore at our meals,” he says.

Civi's basketball continues to improve as he goesagainst teammates Jason Richards and Steph Curry inpractice each day. His competitive drive gets quite a work-out as he competes against one of the best backcourts in allof college basketball. “Playing against them has helped mea lot,” Civi says. “Trying to guard Steph is a real challenge.Drop off him and he'll shoot over you; crowd him and he'lldrive to the basket and get his shot.”

Civi says American basketball is a tougher, more physi-cal game than he experienced growing up in Turkey.“Practices are harder here,” he says. “With CoachMcKillop, the mental side of the game is just as importantas the physical side.”

Civi is an Economics major and says he plans to live inthe United States after his college days are done. Whilehe's not sure what he wants to do after graduation, hehopes to play basketball as long as he can, and his dreamfor his team is to be playing deep into the month of March.

“It is such a dream for me to be getting an educationand playing basketball for Davidson,” he says. “Thingshave worked out well.”

The best athlete on Davidson's team, and one of thebest in the entire Southern Conference? Absolutely. Listento his teammate, senior Thomas Sander: “Going againstAndrew is always a challenge. He's so strong and quick.One day it's going to dawn on him how talented he reallyis.”

Teammates, coaches and friends who describe Lovedaleuse words such as “nice,” “humble,” “polite.” He is all ofthose things, as well as extremely intelligent and articulate.Faith, family, school, basketball … his priorities are solid.Charismatic is another word that could be used to describehim.

He loves music and his favorite is gospel. He writesgospel songs and one day hopes to do it regularly. Hewrites his best “when I feel the inspiration to praise God.”He played the keyboard in church and also enjoys thedrums. He sang at his church back home in Nigeria, bothas a member of the choir and as a soloist. At the age of 15he directed a group of women singers in his church. Inaddition to gospel, ask him what kind of music he mostenjoys, and he replies, “The kind that make sense, songsthat relate something to you.”

Lovedale says he feels blessed by the opportunity givenhim to attend school and play basketball at Davidson. Hisgoal now, and for the future, is to give back. A lot of peo-ple talk of doing it; Lovedale walks the walk. He spendsan inordinate amount of time helping those in need. On atrip to Nigeria last summer, he carried five bags with him.They were filled with stuff his teammates donated that hetook home for needy youth: shoes, T-shirts, Davidson bas-ketball gear. Young people awaited Lovedale when hearrived there. It's now a ritual in Lovedale's Nigeria home.When the youth get word of him coming home, they flockto greet him.

“I opened the bag and they just grabbed things,” herecalls. “Some took shoes that didn't even fit and worethem. It was something, seeing young people walkingaround Nigeria in Davidson basketball gear.”

Lovedale looks at the opportunity he is getting nowthis way: “It's not all for me, but to help others. I want topass down what I know and have. You don't have to berich to impact someone's life. Living by example, a word ofencouragement … those things could change a life forev-er.”

He's majoring in political science. He doesn't havepolitical ambitions of his own, but he cites “political andeconomic challenges” facing Nigeria and says he wouldlike to serve in an advisory position to help the leadersmake life better for the people.

Lovedale was late coming to basketball. He was a soc-cer and table tennis star as a youngster. He didn't get hisfirst basketball until 2000, and didn't start playing the

sport until 2001. He left Nigeria for Manchester, England,to play high school basketball for coach Joe Forber, whoknew Davidson coach Bob McKillop. Lovedale also metformer Davidson player Terrell Ivory in England. He heardnothing but rave reviews about Davidson College. Whenhe met McKillop and received a scholarship offer, heaccepted before he had ever seen the campus.

“I was just happy to get the opportunity,” he says.He admits that he felt lost when he first reported for a

Davidson practice. Some basketball terms, such as “elbow”and “back-cut,” were a mystery to him. In this case, the“elbow” was a position on the court near the foul line, notthe middle part of his arm. All of this took some gettingused to. Also, the competition he faced here came fromathletes who were more skilled in basketball than the oneshe had previously played against. Instead of just unleash-ing his rare athletic skills, he found himself painting by thenumbers - thinking, thinking, thinking - trying to find hiscorrect spot on the court. Elbow? “Where in the world isthat?” Back-cut? “Where'd my man disappear to?”

“I learn something new from every practice,” Lovedalesaid, “but I know most of the terms now. I'm playing moreby instincts instead of having to think each time before Ido something.”

Lovedale says he owes gratitude to Davidson big menBoris Meno and Thomas Sander for helping him during hisadjustment to a new environment. “Boris was so encourag-ing and athletic,” Lovedale said, “and Thomas is thesmartest player I've ever met or gone against.”

With two years and two Southern Conference champi-onships under his belt, Lovedale looks ahead. Now,nobody could find an arrogant or cocky bone in this youngman's body. But after being in the NCAA tournament fortwo straight years, and coming so close to beating bothOhio State and Maryland in the postseason, he wantsmore. Not just a step more, or two steps more. He wantsthe grand prize.

“I want to go all the way,” he says. “Why not? We haveworked hard enough as a team to do it. We have the guysthat can play well enough to do it. I stayed in Nigeria onlytwo weeks last summer so I could be here working outwith my teammates. When we were not together, weemailed each other to make sure that everyone was doinghis workouts.”

Meanwhile, Lovedale says he isn't sure where he willreside after Davidson and basketball are in his rearviewmirror. But he does know this, and he knows it clearly, “Iwill always be of service to my home country, and do mybest to help other people.”

A look into Andrew Lovedale's eyes seals the deal. Hislife will be in service to others less fortunate. As good ashe is in basketball, living by example is what he does best.

PAULHUS GOSSELIN DIGS DEEP ON DEFENSE

Max Paulhus Gosselin's basketball philosophy isuncomplicated. While others close to the game mightstudy statistics carefully, the only statistic that means any-thing to him is the score at the end of the game.

“It's about winning,” the Davidson junior says. “It'sabout winning and nothing else. All of that other stuffdoesn't matter.”

Run a personality profile on Paulhus Gosselin and thisis what would be revealed: Every bone in his body reeks ofunselfishness. He never puts himself, or any personalgoals, ahead of the team's welfare. His determination toimpose his will on an opponent is stronger than 40 acres ofgarlic.

But doesn't everyone like to be recognized for his gooddeeds? So, Max, don't you ever resent not getting as muchattention as those who score the most points? Just a tinybit of resentment, isn't it buried deep in your heart? Hesmiles, shakes his head. His eyes reveal confusion as towhy such a question would even be asked.

“Twenty-nine and five is my answer to that,” PaulhusGosselin says, citing Davidson's record number of victorieslast season. “Winning championships is my answer to that.I was part of the team that won the (SoCon) championship,and my name is recorded there with the rest of my team-mates. Let's put it this way. If I played the game of my life,scored 35 points, and we lost, what would be gained? Itwould still be a loss. It would be worthless.”

That's the way Paulhus Gosselin views his basketballuniverse. It's a team game - and it's all about the team.

Last season was a remarkable one for the Wildcats, andPaulhus Gosselin was an integral part of the success.Twenty-nine wins is big time in any league, at any level.Looking back at all this success, was Paulhus Gosselin sat-isfied?

“Satisfied is not the proper word,” Paulhus Gosselinreplied. “I wasn't satisfied, and neither were my team-mates. I was happy for the team, proud of the chemistrywe had throughout the season, and the effort we gave. Iwas proud of all the guys because we competed andimproved. But satisfied? No, we weren't satisfied.”

It's no coincidence that Paulhus Gosselin has played ontwo Davidson teams that won Southern Conference cham-pionships and subsequently scared the wits out of excel-lent teams from the Big Ten and ACC in the NCAA tourna-ment. No coincidence at all. Every championship teamneeds a selfless player that defends with passion, setsscreens, hustles for loose balls, and doesn't hunt his shot.That pretty much describes Paulhus Gosselin's DNA.

Max is a junior now, a magnificent leader who has wonthe admiration of his teammates and coaches. He hasemerged as a leader, a responsibility that he welcomes.

If he were writing the story, how would he describehimself as a player? “One who wants to win all the time,”he begins. “That pretty much sums it up. My first yearhere, I didn't have much of a role. Last year, I became adefensive stopper. This year, I want to be better ondefense. We play a team defense and take a lot of pride in

it. I know exactly where my help is coming from on eachplay.”

This gets a little tricky. In no way, none at all, isPaulhus Gosselin boastful or cocky, but he is confident.Becoming more confident, too. He understands his role onDavidson's team, but doesn't feel fenced in, or limited. Ifteams forget about him on offense, as UT-Chattanooga didlast season, Max has the skills to punish them on offense.His hustle often enables him to beat the defense down thecourt for easy baskets. One of his prettiest such basketscame in the NCAA tournament against Maryland lastMarch when he took a long bounce pass, and going at fullspeed, put the ball in the basket, giving the underdogWildcats an eight-point second-half lead.

But defense is his forte. He understands it, embraces it.It takes the consummate team player to buy into makingdefense his specialty. Even though some basketballobservers maintain that anyone can play defense as long asthey have the determination to do so, it is a myth thatdoesn't stand up to examination. Name a good defenderwho didn't have excellent foot movement as well as thevision and instincts to see man and ball, all the time fight-ing through screens and guarding against backdoor cuts. Ittakes talent, skill and determination. Defense doesn't getenough credit from fans and media, but coaches appreciateit and honor those who play it best.

“Getting a defensive stop is empowering,” PaulhusGosselin says, a smile lighting up his face. “When we get astop, it lifts us up and demoralizes our opponent. It slowsthem down and makes us go faster. It takes unselfishnessto play team defense, and then that unselfishness carriesover to offense, too.”

He credits his high school coach in Quebec, JohnDangelas, for first motivating him to play defense. “CoachDangelas forced defense on me,” Paulhus Gosselin said.“Once I caught on, I felt I could do it every day. It's nodoubt that he contributed greatly to me being able to cometo Davidson and play basketball.”

While expectations for Davidson were rampant in thepreseason, Paulhus Gosselin wasn't buying. He won'tallow himself to look that far ahead. That's looking fortrouble, as he sees it. Winning is a process, the culminationof many individual and team improvements. It's a season-long journey.

“Expectations are not even in my mind,” he said. “Mygoal is for us to get better as a team, have fun, and sticktogether, especially in times of adversity. Always sticktogether.”

That's Max Paulhus Gosselin's basketball universe, allright. It all translates to winning.

ARCHAMBAULT READY TO SHOW HIS OWN GAME

Will Archambault, a Davidson sophomore fromMontreal, is a movie aficionado. He loves everything aboutthe theatre, the entire ambience, even the smell of the pop-corn cooking in the lobby. His preference of films leans toclassic action movies and modern comedy.

But there's one tape he's seen the most, viewed it evenmore times than his favorite movie, Face-Off, even thoughit has an ending that he despises. He estimates that he'sseen it, start to finish, 10 times, maybe as many as 15. It'sthe tape of Davidson's loss in the NCAA tournament lastseason to Maryland.

Why watch it so many times? “Because there's so muchto learn from it,” Archambault said. “We could have wonthat game; we think we should have won it. We lostbecause so many little things that we did wrong added upin the final analysis to be something big. The tape showsthat.”

The loss to the Terps hurt Archambault long after it wasover. The bright side is that it motivated him and his team-mates to improve, to correct the flaws that turned a nearupset of an ACC power into a disappointing season-end-ing loss. “I hate losing,” he says, almost spitting out thewords. “I can't even stand to think about losing. I remem-ber my mood after the Maryland game, and it wasn't verygood.”

Archambault believes that he gets his competitive drivefrom his father, Germain Archambault, who is a chemicalengineer. As president of a Montreal company that special-izes in recycling plastic, Germain Archambault knows thedifference between winning and losing in the businessworld is often as fine as a piece of thread. It's the sameway in college basketball; the reason drills are repeatedover and over. One play, like the 3-point bomb thatArchambault dropped on Wofford last season, can some-times mean the difference between winning and losing.

Will Archambault's competitive desire also was fueledwhile playing high school basketball at Champlain St.Lambert, on the same team with Davidson teammate MaxPaulhus Gosselin, for coach John Dangelas. “He's sent a lotof players to D-1 schools in the States,” Archambault saysof his high school coach. “He gets his player prepared forcollege basketball. He coaches and runs his program theway it's done in the States. For instance, academic progressis monitored closely, and if a player is not doing the job, hedoesn't play.”

As important as basketball is to Archambault, it hasn'talways been a part of his life. Soccer was his first sport ofchoice. Basketball wasn't on his mind until seven years agowhen an acquaintance, seeing he was tall for his age, askedhim to give the sport a try. Archambault tried it, liked it,took training that increased his vertical jump by 13 inchesin 12 weeks, and had a growth spurt that took his heightfrom 6-1 to its current 6-6.

An impressive high school career, which saw him makefirst-team Quebec All-Star and win a spot on the All-Canadian All-Star team, brought college recruiters to hisdoorstep. His finalists were West Virginia, Richmond, Rice

and Davidson. He visited the University of Richmond,where he loved the campus and its beauty but didn't fallhead over heels in love with the city. The recruiting visit toDavidson pretty much sealed the deal for the Wildcats. Heliked what he saw and experienced.

“As far as basketball was concerned, I didn't care if Iwent to a big school or a small one,” Archambault said.“Academically, I preferred a small school because of hav-ing fewer students in each class.”

Basketball entered prominently into the decision, too.Archambault didn't like the idea of spending his entirefreshman season sitting on the bench. While he knew play-ing time was not guaranteed, he also knew Davidson hadgraduated seven seniors from the previous season, so atthe least he would have a chance to play his first year. Hemade the most of the opportunity, and showing a knackfor scoring inside as well as beyond the arc, he played anaverage of about 20 minutes a game while averagingalmost eight points.

Davidson's academic load also took some getting usedto.

“I learned that I was taking only four classes my firstsemester,” he recalls. “I thought, 'This is cake,' because inhigh school I took twice that number. In the first class Iattended, the professor said a two-page essay would bedue when we met again in two days. In my second classon the first day, the assignment was to read 60 pagesbefore the next class, to finish an entire book in a week.My first year was kind of brutal.”

Like most young college students, Archambault haschanged majors from biology to psychology, then to politi-cal science. He's an excellent student who's finding hisniche.

He didn't know his fellow freshman recruits - StephenCurry, Dan Nelms, Bryant Barr - until he arrived on cam-pus. They have become close friends since and often eattogether, go to movies, maybe even take a trip in the off-season.

In addition to watching movies, one of Archambault'sinterests is weight lifting. It helped him become bigger andstronger than a year ago, which serves him well when hetakes smaller defenders inside to post them up. His firstfew years of basketball saw him play inside exclusively. Hebegan to get the green light to shoot the 3-pointer aboutfive years ago, and now his inside-outside skills make himhard to guard.

The three seniors on the Davidson team - ThomasSander, Jason Richards and Boris Meno - are excellent lead-ers, Archambault says, “who lead by the way they play.They lead by showing us the right way to play.”

With a year of college basketball under his belt,Archambault hopes to show more of his own stuff this sea-son. Maybe that would land a place in his growing collec-tion as his favorite.

BARR LIKES WHAT HE SEES IN ’CATS’ FUTURE

Bryant Barr knew it would be quite an adjustment com-ing from high school basketball in Maine to Davidson, aDivision 1 program that competes in the tough SouthernConference and spends much of November and Decemberchallenging the likes of North Carolina, Duke, UCLA andNC State.

He was as excited as he was apprehensive about theopportunity. He came to Davidson for two weeks in thesummer prior to his freshman year, mostly to get acclimated.He met classmate Steph Curry on the trip, and the two ofthem became fast friends and ultimately campus roommates.

“That summer trip was good for me,” Barr said, “becauseI was convinced that I would fit in well here. “The basketballadjustment for me was a pretty big deal, because I was sud-denly competing against quicker, stronger and more talentedplayers on the D-1 level than I'd ever gone against in highschool.”

Like most freshmen that play basketball at this level,Barr's confidence was shaken initially. He kept working at it,though, waiting for his chance. It came in the 10th game ofDavidson's season against cross-county rival Charlotte.Barr's teammate, Will Archambault, injured a foot whilepreparing for that game and had to sit it out. Barr was prettysure that he would have to take some of Archambault's play-ing time against the 49ers. He was right. He played 21 min-utes, hit three 3-point field goals, scored 11 points, and wona standing ovation from the Davidson's partisans for his all-around excellent performance in a resounding victory.

“That game did a lot for me,” Barr recalls. “It made mefeel that I could play at this level and help my team. Ourteam hadn't been very highly regarded in the preseasonrankings and such, but I think that game went a good waysin establishing us as a good team in the eyes of many peo-ple.”

A young player doesn't gain confidence by taking a pill,or wishing for it. It's a formula that goes something like this:Hard work, plus success equals confidence. There was a con-fidence-building moment in the Charlotte game for Barr. Hewas forced into a defensive switch, which pitted him againstCharlotte's standout scorer, Lee Goldwire. Barr played himtough, got the defensive stop, which caused a mini-celebra-tion from Coach McKillop. Barr saw how pleased his coachwas, and it gave him satisfaction as well as confidence.

Barr says his freshman season exceeded his expectations -his own and those he had for his team. He played more thanhe thought he would when the season began. And his team,picked to finish fourth in the SoCon South Division, won theleague championship en route to a 29-win season and a sec-ond straight berth in the NCAA tournament.

Not resting on any laurels, the Falmouth, Maine, sopho-more dedicated himself to an off-season of hard work. Tohelp, he stayed in Davidson for most of the summer to workout and be around many of his teammates. He felt goodabout his progress, real good. He was told before the sum-mer began that he needed to get stronger, mentally tougher,and to spend much time working on his defense.

“My goals were to make improvements in those areas,”

Barr said. “My shooting's pretty good, but I had plenty towork on. I'm never going to be the quickest player in theworld, but I felt my quickness had improved and was com-ing along pretty good.”

Adversity hit during the second week of August. Barrwas knocked down by a serious bout with mononucleosis, awicked illness that makes every muscle and joint ache whilesapping the victim's energy. This isn't like the 24-hour flu. Ittakes time to get over it. It stopped Barr's off-season prepara-tion dead in its tracks. Indeed, it was three months before hefelt well enough to practice at full speed.

“I worked hard on my defense before I became sick,”Barr said. “We pride ourselves on playing team defense atDavidson. We take a great deal of pride in it, work hard onit, and without it, we probably wouldn't be nearly as effec-tive.”

As he looked forward to his sophomore season, Barrthought about what could be for Davidson basketball. Likemost of his teammates, he's not crazy about the “mid-major”designation the media assign to teams like Davidson.“There's nothing mid-major about our schedule,” he said.“Coach (Matt) Matheny worked hard to get us a schedulelike we have. All of the players wanted to play against thebest. It'll be challenging and fun to see what we can do.”

Even though his freshman season was a success, Barrplayed pretty much in anonymity. That's understandablewhen you consider the Wildcats had three outstanding jun-ior starters and leaders in Boris Meno, Thomas Sander andJason Richards. A defensive stopper in Max PaulhusGosselin. Plus, the 'Cats featured a freshman sensation inStephen Curry, who gained national attention because of hisspectacular play. Barr didn't have a problem with any of it.

He recalls one trip to Charlotte with his roommate Curryshortly after the season ended. A city bus driver, upon seeingCurry, stopped his vehicle, opened the door and congratulat-ed Curry on his great season and his performance againstMaryland in the NCAA tournament. “Steph helps all of usget recognition,” Barr says, “and also brings attention toDavidson and our basketball program in general. He is oneof the most humble people I've ever known. If you didn'tknow who he was, you'd have no idea that he was such agreat basketball player.”

Barr also knows, that as a young player still learning, he'sfortunate to have Sander, Meno and Richards to mentor him.“They are so good at talking to the underclassmen and help-ing us,” he said. “They don't hesitate to get in our face if it'scalled for, but they're also great at explaining things. Welearn from watching how smart and hard they play. Theynever slack off.”

As good as last season was, Barr knows that it'll be onestep at a time this season, no shortcuts. The target is squarelyon Davidson's back. The young man from Maine feels pre-pared for the journey. Prepared and eager.

CURRY FLOURISHES WHEN PRESSURE IS GREATEST

Pressure is an interesting thing, as is the way athletes respondto it. Some thrive on it while others wilt under its onslaught.

Davidson's Stephen Curry received a graduate degree in howto handle pressure during his freshman season with the Wildcats.It manifested itself in two forms before Curry ever played a gameof college basketball.

There was the personal pressure of earning playing time,being able to play against college athletes who were bigger, quick-er and stronger than he had gone against in high school, anddoing the things he would need to do in order for Davidson'syoung team to have a chance for success. Remember, Davidsongraduated seven seniors from the previous year's SouthernConference champions.

“I pretty much knew that I would play right away,” Currysays of his rookie season. “I worked hard to get ready. I didn't putany pressure on myself to meet any certain individual goals. I justwanted to do the best I could.”

The pressure of being a freshman, playing a lot, helping histeam beat expectations didn't faze the young man from Charlotte.That stage, while very public, was enjoyable.

There was another spotlight, however, that was different. Thepressure of comparisons. Curry's father, Dell, starred in basketballat Virginia Tech and then went on to have 16 superlative seasonsin the NBA, where he gained the reputation - justifiably so - ofbeing one of the best shooters ever in professional basketball.

“The media latched onto the story about my dad and me,”Stephen says. “That was a different kind of pressure.”

Each time Davidson made a road trip, there seemed to be astory about Curry and his father. An example is a story onESPN.com that ran under the headline, “Ex-NBA shooter's son isstar frosh at Davidson.” From a Rhode Island newspaper, thisheadline: “Davidson's Curry has his father's 3-point genes.” Andfrom SI.com: “Curry has the genes, maturity of a pro.” On and on,a daily story in the media.

While that kind of attention would stifle many, and make oth-ers walk around with an exaggerated opinion of their own impor-tance, it did neither to Steph Curry. One reason is because of theclose relationship between Curry and his father, as well as theway his parents raised the Davidson star. His mom and dad gavehim a great perspective on life. While basketball has been a vitalpart of Steph Curry's life for as long as he can remember, there'smuch more to him than that.

There was another element to handling the pressure, too, onethat only Curry felt and kept to himself until now. It came inDavidson's first game at Ann Arbor, Michigan last season. Playingin his first collegiate game, Curry was racing around like a rockethaving mechanical problems as Davidson fell behind EasternMichigan by 16 points at halftime. Curry handled the ball in thefirst 20 minutes as if it were radioactive, ending the game with 13turnovers. The Wildcats rallied in the second half, however, andrecorded the first of their 29 victories. Curry was on the court for35 of the 40 minutes.

'The way Coach McKillop treated me in that first game reallyboosted my confidence,” Curry says. “I was having my problems,but he stuck with me. We came back in the second half and won,and I had some big steals. If I had been taken out and left on thebench because of my poor play, I might have gotten down onmyself and lost some confidence. I think to start the season likethat took a lot of pressure off me.”

Curry also read and heard many times last season how the so-called “big boys” of college basketball erred by not recruitinghim. While he says he has no animosity towards any school fornot offering him a scholarship, he doesn't appreciate the implica-tion that Davidson doesn't belong in that “big boy” category.

“I read a story before this season that said we had one of thetop trios in low Division 1 basketball,” Curry said. “That hurt alittle bit. We certainly don't look at ourselves as a 'low' D-1 team.My motivation isn't to show up any other school, but to help putDavidson basketball on the map where it belongs. We have agreat program here.”

After a summer that included playing for the USA under 19World Championship team, Curry came home talking about howmuch the experience made him appreciate Davidson basketballeven more.

“It's all about the team here, all about each other,” Curryexplains. “It starts with the coaching staff and the way they han-dle things and overflows to us. After we win a game at home andgo back to the campus, we actually know the people who are con-gratulating us. It's just a big family here that extends from ourlocker room throughout the entire community.”

Curry also realizes that some programs - probably most pro-grams - would not have been as accepting of a freshman gettingthe lion's share of attention as were his Davidson teammates. TheDavidson veterans celebrated Curry's individual success openlyand without resentment.

“It's funny you bring that up, because I've actually thoughtabout it,” Curry said. “The veteran players had been here longerthan I had, had worked hard and invested so much in the pro-gram, yet they were very accepting of me. I certainly couldn't getanything accomplished without the guys on our team. If teamsput too much attention on me, somebody else on our team willdrop 30 on them.”

Curry cited the 32 points that Jason Richards scored againstGeorgia Southern last season to back up is claim. “Their playerswere calling out my name, telling each other where I was,” Currysaid. “While they were paying all that attention to me, J-Richkilled them with his scoring and overall play.”

Curry has established a special bond with Richards, the team'ssenior point guard. They seem to play with one heartbeat, know-ing where to go when the other has the ball, to read the other'seyes and know what's coming next. “Playing with J-Rich is a lotof fun,” Curry says. “Each of us can score, pass, and we knowwithout even thinking where the other will be on the court. We'reon the same page so much that it just seems natural.”

Curry's freshman statistics and individual honors are recordedelsewhere on these pages. They glitter and hold great promise forthe future. But he's about winning, not statistics, and the loss toMaryland in the NCAA tournament last March was a long timeleaving his mind and soul.

“I'd say it took at least a month for me to get over that lossand start thinking about this season,” Curry said. “Some peoplesay I got tired at the end of that game, and maybe I did. It moti-vated me to work extra hard in the off-season to make sure I canplay 40 minutes with complete intensity this year. All of our play-ers took that approach in the off-season.”

Curry has grown about an inch and a half since last season,put on some muscle. His summer was so busy with basketballthat he says he never had a chance to get lazy. Last season he wasused mostly at two-guard but played some point when Richardsneeded rest or was in foul trouble. No matter what position he'splaying, Curry says he wants to be the aggressor and put thedefense on its heels.

After winning 29 games last season, Curry knows the target ison Davidson's back.

“We all know the expectations are high,” he says, “and we alsoknow that we'll have to play better than last season to meet them.We have a tough schedule, but we're going to compete. We knowwe can play with anybody.”

NELMS WOULD LIKE TO LAND THIS ‘BIG ONE’

Davidson sophomore Dan Nelms never gave collegebasketball a thought until he began playing AAU ball dur-ing high school in Lake Forest, Ill., near Chicago.

He lettered for two years at Lake Forest High, duringwhich time he was also playing AAU. Still, after his juniorhigh school season, college basketball was not on his per-sonal radar screen. He wanted to go to college and studyengineering, and he preferred a school with a big enroll-ment. He applied for early admission to Florida, Harvard,Lehigh and Penn.

His basketball goals really began to crystallize duringhis senior high school season. The more he played, and themore success he had, the more convinced he became thathe wanted to give college basketball a try. Nelms was tall,played hard, and his skills were improving. His experiencein AAU ball certainly helped him, he said. Upon gradua-tion from Lake Forest, he knew he wanted to play collegebasketball, so he decided to take a year of prep school atPhillips Exeter Academy to improve his chances.

“I went to Phillips primarily to play basketball,” Nelmssays, “and I really focused on it while I was there.”

Davidson first heard of Nelms through his AAU play.Coach McKillop scouted him in prep school and likedwhat he saw. Although the coach knew Nelms had a waysto go before he would be ready to contribute significantlyat the Division 1 level, he saw immense potential in the bigman's game. He was also quite impressed with how hardNelms worked and how much basketball meant to him.

Nelms recalls Coach McKillop asking him, “Do youwant to play professional basketball?” The question caughtNelms off-guard. He hadn't thought much about thoseprospects. But he found himself nodding his head toMcKillop's question. Yeah, he wanted to play pro basket-ball.

Nelms made an October recruiting visit to Davidson.Instead of a big school, he found himself walking the gor-geous campus of a top liberal arts college that has anenrollment of approximately 1,700 students. “Even thoughI preferred a big school with a great engineering depart-ment, I found Davidson to be a great place,” Nelms says.“I really liked all of the players and the coaches.”

Nelms was so impressed with Davidson that he didn'twant to make a decision that he would later regret. Hewent home from his recruiting visit to think things over.He was getting attention from other schools, but the morehe thought about Davidson, the more positive he felt aboutthe school and the basketball program. He gave theWildcats an early commitment.

An Economics major, Nelms has adjusted to Davidson'ssize and likes it. “Davidson is great for me,” he said. “It'swhere I can get to my highest level. I love playing basket-ball, and I plan to play as hard as I can and go to the high-est level that my talent will take me. I want to play basket-ball for as long as I can.”

Nelms says that while some college teams “separateafter they leave the court, we're a team on and off the courthere. We do a lot of things together off the court, hang out

a lot.” Nelms rooms with Davidson teammate MaxPaulhus Gosselin.

He says the veteran players helped him adjust duringhis freshman season. He went against Thomas Sander justabout every day in practice, and Nelms says watching theway Sander takes care of details taught him that if you dothat in Davidson's system, you could become an effectiveplayer.

Nelms came to Davidson with an impressive freshmanclass, including the highly celebrated Stephen Curry. Heand Curry, along with teammates Stephen Rossiter andBryant Barr, went to Florida over Easter break last springto stay in the Nelms family home near Gainesville. On theway back to campus, they had on some Davidson basket-ball clothes when they stopped at an Arby's in Georgia fora sandwich. Some kids in the restaurant spotted Nelms,Rossiter and Barr and questioned them about playing forthe Wildcats. Meanwhile, they asked, “Do y'all know StephCurry?” Curry was on the other side of the restaurant get-ting a soda.

“As soon as we pointed them towards Steph, they allleft us and went over to him and got him to autographsome napkins,” Nelms recalls, smiling at the acclaim hisfellow freshman has earned.

Nelms went back home last summer and worked out athis AAU facility, which has multiple basketball courts,including two NBA courts. He had access to a personaltrainer, and figures he spent five to six hours each dayworking on his game. That dedication to the game is oneof the things that attracted Davidson to him.

Dan is the son of David and Daryl Nelms. David isCEO of Discover Card. Dan's brother, Steve, is a highschool student, and older brother Brad is a senior at theUniversity of Wisconsin. His family catches as manyDavidson games in person as they can.

When he's not working on basketball matters, Nelmsloves all water sports. His family enjoys the time it spendsin Florida, and they go as often as possible. Nelms says hedoes all kind of fishing: salt water, grouper, sharks.

Sharks? Have you ever caught any?“Yeah, I've caught some.”Big ones?He laughs. “The big ones usually get away.”Nelms and his teammates, coming off two consecutive

Southern Conference championships and NCAA appear-ances, have another big season of their own. And this isone he's hoping doesn't get away. He and the Wildcats liketo think that they have some unfinished business.

Nelms hesitates to talk about specific goals, for him orthe team. “I want us to work hard, play as well as we can,and treat each possession like it's the most important onewe'll ever have.”

For a young man who wasn't even thinking about acareer in college basketball two years ago, Dan Nelms hascome a long ways in a short time.

ROSSITER IN FULL SUPPORT OF HIS ‘BEST FRIENDS’

Let's face it, most college basketball fans have very littleunderstanding about how much work players and coachesput into planning and preparing for a game. Case in point:Davidson's players began preparing for this season lessthan a week after losing to Maryland in the NCAA tourna-ment last March.

One of the many unsung heroes on Davidson's team isStephen Rossiter, 6-7, a redshirt sophomore who works justas hard in preparation as any of the team's starters. WhileRossiter played in all but two of Davidson's 34 games lastseason, his playing time was limited to an average of 7.3minutes a game.

But statistics don't begin to reveal the importance ofRossiter to Davidson's success. He not only works hard inpractice to make his own game better, his goal each day isto practice well enough to make starters Thomas Sanderand Boris Meno improve. Rossiter's unrelenting play inpractice creates a game-like atmosphere for Davidson'sstarting big men.

“I realize that many of my contributions come in prac-tice,” Rossiter says. “When I play well in practice, I'm notonly helping myself, I'm also helping Boris and Thomasbecome better players. Coach McKillop knows the impor-tance of that work.”

Rossiter injured a foot in preseason practice of his fresh-man season and didn't play in any of Davidson's games.He was granted a medical redshirt. While competing at theDivision 1 level for the first time last season, Rossiter'sconstant hustle and improvement was a source of encour-agement for Davidson's coaches.

Rossiter played high school basketball for MonsignorFarrell in Staten Island, N.Y. He also played in many AAUtournaments in the summer before his senior high schoolseason, and that's when Davidson heard about him.

“When Coach McKillop first talked to me aboutDavidson, he was straight with me,” Rossiter said. “He letme know that he was recruiting some other people at myposition, but if for some reason they didn't chooseDavidson, there was a good possibility that he would offerme a scholarship.”

McKillop was in the stands late in the season ofRossiter's senior year when the opponent was St. Joseph'sBy the Sea. Rossiter remembers the night well. “I had oneof my worst games,” he says.

But after the game was over, Rossiter got news thatmade up for his poor performance and then some. CoachMcKillop offered him a scholarship to Davidson. “He toldme that he was impressed with the way I kept my spiritsup and cheered on my teammates, even though I was hav-ing a bad game,” Rossiter said. “I was extremely excited toget the scholarship offer.”

Rossiter was almost certain he'd accept, but he wantedto make a couple of other recruiting visits before makinghis final decision. He went to Monmouth after visitingDavidson, mostly to make a comparison of the two.

Rossiter stayed with Jason Richards and Thomas Sanderon his official visit to Davidson in April 2005. Those two

and the rest of Davidson's players made him feel like hewas already part of the team. “I liked everything aboutDavidson,” he says, “the players, coaches, arena, smallschool atmosphere. Deciding to come here was easy.”

While Rossiter is by nature a happy young man who iseasy to get along with, don't entertain the idea that he issatisfied sitting on the bench and playing sparingly. He'sas competitive as any of his teammates.

“Sure, I want to play more,” he says. “But when I haveteammates at my position that are playing better, I under-stand they're going to play more. I get my chances in prac-tice and in games, and it's up to me to take advantage ofthose opportunities. When I enter the game off the bench,my goal is to help the team maintain a high level of play. Itry to do my part in seeing to it that the team doesn't losea step while I'm out there.”

Those who attend Davidson's games can see Rossiterleading cheers from the bench, and being one of the first togreet a teammate when he comes out of the game. There'snot an envious bone in his body. And when he's on thecourt, he gives Davidson a burst of energy, especially inrebounding and defense.

“The guys on the team are my best friends,” he says.“It's easy to cheer for them, because I know what greatguys they are and how hard they work. Take Steph(Curry), for instance. He gets all kinds of attention fromthe media and fans. When we go out, people are all overhim for autographs and to talk to him. He handles it sowell. He's as down-to-earth as any person you'd ever meet.I feel great that he's having so much success.”

Rossiter loves sports, especially the New York Yankees,and likes to travel. One of his goals is to tour Europesomeday. He says he's not sure if basketball will be in hisplans beyond Davidson. “Basketball is still so much funfor me,” he says. “Many of our guys get chances to play inEurope after graduation. That could be for me, but I'm notsure about it yet.”

Rossiter says playing in the NCAA tournament is athrill. He calls the NCAA tournament the biggest sportsevent of the year next to the Super Bowl. “I love being thesmall school, the underdog,” he said. “The big schools getso much attention, but when they play us, they go awayknowing that we can play, too. Every player on the teamlikes the tough schedule that we face this year. CoachMcKillop and the rest of the coaches prepare us well foreach game we play. Playing against so many good teammakes us better, gets up better prepared.”

How would he rate his Davidson career to this point?“I love this place … basketball, the challenging academ-

ics, the entire atmosphere of the college. When I wenthome last spring, a lot of people were talking aboutDavidson basketball. They saw us play Maryland on tele-vision in the NCAA tournament and were impressed. Ihope we can give them even more to talk about this year.”

DAVIDSON REMINDS ALLISON OF HOME

Ben Allison is a long ways from home, but it doesn't feel like it.The Davidson freshman arrived on campus from a small

English village located about an hour's train ride from London.“Everything is bigger here,” he says, “the buildings, the cars, theportions of food.”

But the town of Davidson, he says, has a pace and rhythmmuch like the setting of the boarding school he attended inEngland the past two years. “I'm not a big-city boy,” Allison says,“so Davidson feels a lot like home.”

Allison played high school basketball for coach Woody Kennyin England. Kenny had attended Providence College in RhodeIsland, so he had the background to advise Allison wisely aboutcollege basketball in the United States.

“I had known since I was very young that I wanted to come tothe United States to attend college and play basketball.”

He played most of his basketball in England for his club team -the Haywards

Heath Eagles. His outstanding athletic skills, and a growthspurt that took him from 6-1 at age 16 to 6-8 at age 19, caught theattention of many college coaches, including Davidson's BobMcKillop.

McKillop went to England to see Allison play, and his presencemade quite an impression on the young man. “Not manyAmerican college coaches would travel that far to see me play,”Allison said. In addition, Allison's history teacher at school was aDavidson graduate, and Coach Kenny knew Coach McKillop.More and more, it seemed, the path was leading him to Davidson.

While Allison investigated going to prep school, or maybe ajunior college, Davidson's pursuit of him struck a chord. “Davidsonshowed more interest than everybody else,” Allison said. “It wasall very genuine, and when I got the opportunity to come here, Ijumped at it.”

Allison says competing against Division 1 players is moreintense “than any of my previous basketball training.” He saysDavidson's academic pace “presents busy days that are packedwith studying and basketball. But that's all good. I like it that way.”

What are his early impressions of Davidson basketball and lifein the States?

“I love it here,” he says. “The training schedule is much moreintense than back home, but I expected it to be the case. And thepeople over here are so much more passionate about basketball,which I love.”

BOND WANTS TO GET HEALTHY AND CONTRIBUTE

Aaron Bond, one of three freshmen on this year's Davidsonteam, has played against some of the top talent in basketball -and he also knows a thing or two about winning.

A swing player from Ashburn, Va., Bond played some AAUbasketball with the spectacular Kevin Durant, who was the sec-ond player taken in the NBA draft after one season at Texas,North Carolina point guard Tywon Lawson, one of the fastestplayers in college basketball, and Georgetown star Roy Hibbert.

Bond led his team to conference championships in both hisjunior and senior seasons, and at Georgetown Prep he averaged14 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists. He was named All-Conference and All-County two years in a row. His excellentplay brought college recruiters to his doorstep. He made visits toBucknell, Virginia, Holy Cross and Davidson, and cancelled atrip to Santa Clara.

What swung him Davidson's way? “I fell in love with thecampus,” he said, “and Coach McKillop was so authentic withme.”

Bond's high school, Stonebridge High, had approximately2,000 students. He set out on his college tour thinking that hewanted to attend a large school. But he says he's adjusted well to

Davidson's student enrollment of 1,700, and sees the advantagesof going to a small college.

Bond's basketball development stalled for several weeks inthe preseason because of an injury. “I tried to stay positivethrough it,” he said, “and the veteran players really helped me,especially Jason (Richards). My goals for this season are to gethealthy and contribute as much as I possibly can to my team.”

Bond says the biggest adjustment from high school basketballis mastering the details that Coach McKillop demands of hisplayers. He says he enjoys playing defense and believes that hewill be effective in that area of the game once he learnsDavidson's defensive system, which stresses team defense.

Bond says his high school prepared him well for the academiclife at Davidson, which he describes as “challenging.” “The keyfor me is to get my time balanced,” he said. “But I was alwaysvery busy in high school, so I'm used to having a full day.”

Bond competed in soccer, baseball, tennis and track as ayoungster, but his first love was always basketball, which hebegan playing in first grade. His roommate at Davidson is fresh-man teammate Brendan McKillop.

MCKILLOP LIKES DAVIDSON’S ‘BASKETBALL FAMILY’

Freshman Brendan McKillop, son of Davidson head coach BobMcKillop, has watched the Wildcats play and practice his entirelife. So when he began preseason practice with his teammates inOctober, he wasn't surprised at how demanding his father wasabout the smallest of details.

“We emphasize details that we didn't even think about in highschool,” Brendan McKillop said. “Each possession in the collegegame is extremely important, and we treat each one like gold.”

McKillop has received excellent help from Jason Richards,Davidson's senior point guard who worked out with McKillopduring much of last summer.

“It's incredible for me to have the opportunity to learn fromJason. He is clearly one of the top point guards in college basket-ball, and I learn so much from him by the way he changes speeds,the angles he takes to get to the basket, and the way he finishesplays. I watched him play for three years and knew he was good.But to play with him … it's amazing how well he sees the court.”

McKillop had a breakout senior season at Charlotte CatholicHigh School when he averaged 26 points and five assists. He wasthinking seriously of spending a year in prep school, but then mul-tiple colleges became interested in him as a student-athlete,

prompting him to go straight from Charlotte Catholic High to col-lege.

Davidson was not in his plans at first. In fact, he had prettymuch decided not to follow his older brother Matt's footsteps atDavidson. But then a funny thing happened. He went to theSouthern Conference tournament, which Davidson won, and to theNCAA tournament and saw the Wildcats compete furiouslyagainst Maryland before losing.

“When I saw the way the team reacted in the tournaments, Ichanged my mind,” Brendan says. “It showed me again what Ialready knew: the basketball program here is a family, and I could-n't see it being like this anywhere else. I felt strongly that Davidsonwas the place I wanted to be.”

McKillop says Charlotte Catholic prepared him well for the aca-demic challenge that Davidson presents. “We did a lot of writing inour classes at Catholic,” Brendan says, “and that has helped here,because Davidson professors believe in giving writing assign-ments.”

“I'm still learning to balance my time between academics andbasketball,” Brendan said, “and if I'm lucky, to work in a little napevery now and then.”

2007

All-time winningest coach in Davidson andSouthern Conference history with 311 victories

and 171 league victories.

62 of 62 seniors have graduated during the McKillop era.

Each morning when coach BobMcKillop enters his office in Davidson'sBaker Sports Complex, he passes aDecember 1968 Sports Illustrated maga-zine that is displayed prominently, onethat has a cover picturing NorthCarolina's Charlie Scott, Kentucky'sMike Casey and Davidson's Mike Maloy,under a headline that reads,“Challengers to UCLA.”

McKillop studies the photograph, andthinks, “We can do that.”

We can do what? The 1969 Davidsonteam won 27 games, now the secondmost in school history, finished the sea-son ranked third in the nation, andfought powerful North Carolina to thefinal second before falling 87-85 in theNCAA Elite Eight. One step from theFinal Four. Davidson basketball canduplicate that storybook season?

Go ahead, laugh at the supposition,or even scoff at it, but ifMcKillop didn't believe inhis heart that it could berepeated, he wouldn't be inhis 19th year as DavidsonCollege's head basketballcoach. He believes it evenmore now, in view of lastyear's team setting a school record with29 victories, two more than the powerful1969 Wildcats. McKillop is a confesseddreamer. His players, who have seen histeams win eight of the last 12 SouthernConference Division championships, andfive of the last six, plus two consecutiveSoCon championships, call him a dream-maker. So do many of the nation's lead-ing coaches.

“Many times you only hear about thecoaches in the power conferences beinggreat coaches,” says John Beilein, thehighly successful University of Michigan

coach. “Bob McKillop is equal or betterthan any other coach that I know, andI've coached against most of the best inthe country in my 15 years in Division1.”

Like many outstanding coaches,McKillop cloaks himself in mystery, lesthe dare become predictable, a traitcoaches aren't allowed. His resume tellsan interesting story, one of dedication,discipline, preparation, competitivenessand humility.

He was a successful baseball and bas-ketball player at Chaminade HighSchool in the New York City HighSchool Catholic League, where one of hisfellow students in homeroom for fouryears was Bill O'Reilly of the O'ReillyFactor on FOX News. Jack Curran, thecoach at rival Archbishop Molloy High,helped him get a basketball scholarshipto East Carolina. His last game at East

Carolinawas in theoldCharlotteColiseum inthe 1969SouthernConference

tournament championship game, a 102-76 loss to Davidson, a game that stuck inhis mind and later would have majorconsequences in his life.

Homesick and ready to be closer tohome, he transferred from East Carolinato Hofstra University where he becamethe team's MVP and later was inductedinto the Hofstra Basketball Hall of Fame.After graduation in 1972, he signed as afree agent with the Philadelphia 76ersbut was cut. The 76ers went 9-72 thatseason. “I was cut from the worst teamin NBA history,” McKillop jokes.

“Many times you only hear about the coaches inthe power conferences being great coaches. BobMcKillop is equal or better than any other coachthat I know, and I’ve coached against most of thebest in the country in my years in Division I.”

Humility comes in strange packages.Reluctantly accepting the fact that his

playing career was over, he took a jobteaching history and coaching basketballat Holy Trinity High in Long Island in1972. After a sparking 86-25 record ascoach, in 1978 McKillop was offeredassistant coaching positions at theUniversity of Pennsylvania andDavidson whereEddie Biedenbachhad just beennamed headcoach. In makinghis decision,McKillop recalledhis last game forEast Carolina, theloss to Davidson,the way the fans celebrated the champi-onship. In making his decision betweenPenn and Davidson, he visited theDavidson campus in NorthMecklenburg, was stricken with its beau-ty and charm, as well as the mission ofthe college, and the uniqueness of thevillage. “Davidson, here I come!” TheWildcats went 8-19 that season. Pennwent to the NCAA Final Four. Oh, well.

After one year on the Davidson staff,a great high school opportunity beck-oned at Long Island Lutheran HighSchool. McKillop went there as head bas-ketball coach, director of summer pro-grams, and for two years served as inter-im headmaster. He compiled a recordthere of 182-51. In his high school coach-ing career, he wonfive New YorkState champi-onships, coachedfive high schoolAll-Americas, oneof whom was MattDoherty, formerhead coach atNorth Carolinaand now in thesame position atSMU.

“Bob McKillopis easily one of thenation's bestcoaches,” Dohertysays. “What hehas done atDavidson is trulyremarkable. Herecruits top-flightstudents for one of

the country's top liberal arts colleges andcompetes in the demanding SouthernConference along with a ridiculouslytough non-conference schedule.”

McKillop accepted the challenge ofrebuilding Davidson basketball and

became its headcoach in 1989. Heproceeded cautious-ly at first, as helearned to meshwhat fit atDavidson with hispersonal philoso-phy. “Davidson is aspecial place, a

unique place,” McKillop says. “Inrecruiting and staffing, we must have theright fit, otherwise it could lead to frus-tration and immediate failure.”

Davidson has a special blend of aca-demics, social life and athletics. Not allgood players with excellent grades are afit. McKillop's ability to put the properpeople in place has been a leading rea-son that he has succeeded at such a highlevel at Davidson.

One of McKillop's former Davidsonplayers, Martin Ides, now in his sixthseason of playing professional basketballin Europe, says: “There are many thingsthat set Coach McKillop apart from allthe coaches I've had…However, what Iappreciate most is what Coach calls our

Davidson 'basketball family.' I stay incontact with many of our guys…I wouldlove to be on an all-Davidson team againwith Coach McKillop leading the way.”

McKillop's players talk about his lead-ership, teaching, and confidence.

“Coach McKillop is the best at prepar-ing his team,” says Logan Kosmalski,who was an All-Southern Conferenceplayer in 2005 and now plays profession-ally in Europe. “His knowledge andattention to detail made us feel like wecould win against any opponent.”

Now 57 years old, McKillop loves his-tory, politics, Italian cuisine, nice clothes,good books and movies that teach himlife's lessons. A frequent lecturer, he hasas many basketball friends in Europe ashe does in the United State. He oncedreamed of being a U.S. Senator fromNew York, a notion that has since sub-sided. His reading preferences leantoward history, politics, leadership,coaching stories, and not much fiction.Four movies rank as his favorites: Life isBeautiful, Michael Collins, TheGodfather, and Schindler's List.

“Those movies teach great lessonsabout life, family, struggles and leader-ship,” he says. In his view, moviesshould do more than entertain; theyshould also teach life's lessons.

McKillop cherishes each moment andtreats it as gold. Whether it's on the buswith his team to a road game or waitingfor a flight in an airport terminal, healways has work at hand. When a friend

was late to a breakfastmeeting last summer,McKillop waved it off,saying as he surveyedpapers on the table infront of him, “Noproblem. I had plentyof work to do.” Hecarries his office withhim.

He grew up inQueens and LongIsland and had a fas-cination with sportsfor as long as he canremember. He lovedArmy football and thelegacy of the BlackKnights of theHudson. The first col-lege basketball gamethat he saw in personwas at Alumni Hall,

“Bob McKillop is a very well respected coach, not onlyin the United States, but internationally. McKillop justgets it. He understands the game, and how it should beplayed, and he understands the players, and how theyshould be led. The only thing that McKillop lacks as acoach is a media spotlight. People that know basketballknow Bob McKillop. He is truly one of the very best.”

St. John's vs. NYU. He loved going togames at Alumni Hall and MadisonSquare Garden and dreamed of playingfor NYU, a powerhouse at the time.Although he's been in North Carolinafor 19 years, he hasn't lost the sharpedges of his New York brogue. Hisphone mail message begins, “How yadoin'?” His metaphors, which he oftenuses, speak of “Broadway stages,” and“magical carpet rides.”

His coaching career at Davidson hasbeen scintillating by any barometer.His Davidson record is 311-218. He'scoachedDavidsonlonger thanany basket-ball coach,won moregames therethan any coach, and his 174 SouthernConference wins are more than anycoach in league history. He's been con-ference Coach of the Year six times, haswon eight Southern Conference divi-sion titles, four tournament champi-onships, and taken his team to fourNCAA tournaments and three postsea-son NITs. All this winning hasn't comeat any academic sacrifice, as 95 percenthave graduated from Davidson and100 percent have graduated from col-lege.

Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski callsMcKillop “a sensational coach.” Texascoach Rick Barnes says, “There aresome great coaches out there whodeserve recognition, and Bob is at thevery top of that list.”

McKillop derived his basketball phi-losophy from many sources: LouCarnesecca, Al and Frank McGuire,Jack Curran, Frank Morris, PaulLynner, Dean Smith, John Wooden, RedAuerbach, Ettore Messina and others.He's studied the winning ways of for-mer college football coaches AraParseghian, Bud Wilkinson and KnuteRockne. “I've stolen from the best,” hesays, laughing.

McKillop's demanding practices areplanned to the second. He stresses fun-damentals, is a disciplinarian as well asa stickler for details, but his playersalways know he cares.

Jouni Eho, one of McKillop's formerplayers now playing overseas, wasmarried in the summer of 2005.McKillop attended the ceremony - inFinland. “That was very special to me,”

* Davidson competed in the Big South in 1990-91 and 1991-92

Eho says.Terrell Ivory often was present when

McKillop was recruiting his brother,Titus, who eventually chose Penn Stateover Davidson. “Even though Titusdidn't go to Davidson, when my fatherdied, Coach McKillop was at the funer-al,” Terrell said. “I said then that Iwanted to play for this man. He's like asecond father to me.” Terrell, now an

assistant coach at BlairAcademy, came toDavidson as a walk-on,earned a scholarshipand contributed tomany wins.

McKillop runs sev-eral miles most days, never gains anounce, and as his assistants can attest,often gets so lost in his work that hecan go a full day without eating.Sweets are a weakness, though, and heattacks a bag of chocolate chip cookiesthe way a woodpecker works on asugar maple.

McKillop and his wife Cathy, aknowledgeable basketball person in herown right, have three children - Kerrin,

27, a 2002 Davidson graduate,Matthew, 24, who graduated fromDavidson two years ago after playingfor his father for four years, and is anassistant basketball coach at EmoryUniversity for head coach JasonZimmerman, a former player and assis-tant coach under McKillop atDavidson, and Brendan, 19, a freshmanon this year's Davidson team.

“Davidson College is a specialplace,” McKillop says. “One reason ourteams have been so united and close isbecause we reflect the total Davidsonphilosophy. Our players remain closelong after they leave Davidson.”

When McKillop thinks back to play-ing against Davidson in 1969, hereflects on the job former coach LeftyDriesell did in putting the Wildcats inthe nation's Top 10 and twice takingthem to the NCAA Elite Eight. “WhatLefty Driesell and his players did isone of the greatest stories in collegebasketball history,” McKillop says.

It was the “Broadway stage,” iswhat it was, and McKillop the dreamerthinks there can be an encore.

“Bob McKillop has quietly done as good a coachingjob as any coach at any level in the country. Withthat statement, he is quite possibly the mostunderrated coach in the nation.”

2003-pr. Associate Head Coach

1993-2003 Asst. Coach, Davidson

After one of Davidson’s 29 victories in achampionship season last year, coach BobMcKillop was analyzing the game on his post-game radio show when he said, “I want toemphasize how much Coach Matheny con-tributed to our winning tonight. His excellentscouting and the way he communicated theinformation to our players were invaluable.”

A 1993 Davidson graduate and formerWildcat football and basketball captain,Matheny has been an assistant coach onMcKillop’s staff since Aug. 1, 1993. Davidsonhas won 254 games during their stint togetheron the bench, averaged 18 wins a season, wonfour SoCon tournament championships andplayed in three NCAA tournaments. Now theprogram’s associate head coach, Matheny hasbeen involved in more victories than any assis-tant coach in Davidson’s history. He’s been byMcKillop’s side as the Wildcats have wonSouthern Conference division championships ineight of the last 12 years, and now are consid-ered the team to beat from year to year.

“Coach Matheny is a symbol of what ourprogram tries to represent,” Coach McKillopsays. “He’s smart, hard working and team ori-ented. And, he wears Davidson on his heart.”

Matheny loves preparing for games: thescouting of the opponent, drafting a plan for theplayers, and then relaying that plan to the teamin video sessions and on the court. He excels inall those areas. His rapport with the players isso strong that a visitor could hear a pin dropwhen he imparts scouting information to themin pre-game meetings.

Although he now excels in his chosen pro-fession, coaching was not always Matheny’sgoal. He grew up in Statesville about 20 milesfrom the Davidson campus. He was a star stu-dent and football, basketball and tennis stand-out at North Iredell High School. He had inten-tions of going to Wake Forest or Duke, butthose plans changed when Davidson recruitedhim as a football player. He had never seen theDavidson campus until he visited as a highschool senior, liked it, and enrolled as a student-

athlete. He was a quarterback and wide receiveron the football team, a point guard on the bas-ketball team.

After graduation in the spring of 1993,Matheny went to Germany to play a summer ofAmerican football. McKillop contacted himthere and offered him a job as an assistant coachon the Davidson staff. Matheny accepted andjoined Steve Shurina and Larry Garloch onMcKillop’s staff.

The detour in career plans even surprisedMatheny. He graduated from Davidson withthe full intentions of going to law school. Buteven though he was recruited to Davidson toplay football, and joined the basketball team asa walk-on, basketball was always his first love.If he were going to coach, he knew basketballwould be his sport. But even when he joinedthe coaching staff, he thought the job would bea stopover between coaching and law school.

“The more I coached, the more I grew tolove it,” Matheny says. “A coach can play aninfluential role in the life of a college athlete.”

Matheny’s goal is to become a head coach ofhis own program. McKillop has prepared himwell, allowing Matheny to become immersed inevery single area of college coaching. He is thepoint man for Davidson’s scheduling, worksextensively with recruiting, excels at public rela-tions, and is superb as an on-the-court teacher.

“Coach McKillop has allowed me to work inall areas,” Matheny says, “and I’ve learned somuch from him, in the way he has built a lead-ing program with high integrity.”

A highly competitive person, Matheny sayslosing is tougher on him now than it was earlierin his coaching career, because he has so muchinvested now. “When we lose, it makes mewant to work harder,” he says. “That’s anotherthing I learned from Coach McKillop.”

Matheny and the former Jennifer Collinswere married in June 2001. They are parents ofBrock, born in April 2004 who is now a popularfigure at Davidson’s home games. Jennifer is alicensed Real Estate Broker. The Matheny fami-ly lives in Davidson.

Long Island Lighting AAU Basketball

Jim Fox has been an assistant coach onBob McKillop’s Davidson basketball staffduring some of the program’s most suc-cessful seasons. Now in his sixth year as aDavidson assistant, Fox has been on thebench as Davidson compiled an 117-57overall record, 76-21 versus teams in theSouthern Conference, won three confer-ence tournament championships, playedin three NCAA tournaments and one post-season NIT.

“It’s no coincidence that our programhas enjoyed consistent success since JimFox joined our staff in August 2001,”Coach McKillop says. “Jim has developedinto a superb recruiter and coupled withhis understanding of the game, he hasbecome a very valuable member of ourstaff.”

Now the second assistant on theDavidson staff, Fox, a native of Levittown,N.Y., spent five years as associate headcoach at St. Dominic High School inOyster Bay, N.Y. He served one year as theschool’s athletic director, and as the headcoach of the freshman team, directed theSt. Dominic frosh to an impressive recordof 55-1 and four consecutive Catholic HighSchool championships. He also taughtgovernment, economics and criminal jus-tice and psychology at the high school.

Fox graduated in 1995 from the StateUniversity of New York at GeneseoCollege, earning his degree in political sci-ence. Fox father’s retired as a chief U.S.Probation Officer and his mother retired asa school principal at a Catholic elementaryschool on Long Island. In his off time,Fox’s father ran a youth basketball pro-gram on Long Island, and Fox begancoaching in the program when he was stillin high school.

Coaching was in his blood, but so wasfederal law enforcement. He interned with

the U.S. Secret Service between his juniorand senior college years, and seriouslythought about joining the service as acareer. Fox saw how much his father lovedbasketball and enjoyed the work, whichinfluenced him to give coaching a try,which he did at St. Dominic. He’s glad hedid.

In addition to coaching at St. Dominic,Fox was also head coach and director ofthe Long Island Lightning AAU BasketballClub, where one of his players was MattMcKillop, Coach McKillop’s son and athree-year starter at Davidson who gradu-ated last spring. Fox coached more than 20young men who went on to play collegebasketball.

Fox’s father now runs the IslandGarden, where Coach Fox and his brother,Jeff, have their own basketball camp fortwo weeks each summer - the FoxOffensive Skills Basketball Camp.

Fox has had a long acquaintance withCoach McKillop, first meeting him whenMcKillop was a highly successful coach atLong Island Lutheran High School. WhenMcKillop offered Fox a job at Davidson,Fox quickly accepted.

“I knew Coach McKillop as a personand a coach,” Fox says, “and I knew work-ing for him and learning from him wouldbe great for my career. Coach lets his assis-tants get involved in all areas of coaching.The work ethic in the Davidson programruns from the coaches to the players.Everyone is working towards a commongoal: to get to the NCAA tournament andbe successful in it.”

Fox is single and lives in Davidson. Hisbrother, Jeff, is a lawyer, and his sister, Jen,is a nurse. His parents travel to seeDavidson play several times each year.Coach Fox loves golf, tennis, politics androoting for his beloved New York Yankees.

2006-pr. Asst. Coach, Davidson

2003-06 Asst. Coach, Rochester

Tim Sweeney enters his second seasonas an assistant coach with the men’s bas-ketball program.

“Tim brings the experience of being asuccessful player and coach from a terrificschool and basketball program like theUniversity of Rochester,” McKillop com-mented. “He is a superb addition to ourstaff.”

Sweeney, a 2003 graduate of theUniversity of Rochester with a degree inpolitical science, spent the past three sea-sons as an assistant at his alma mater asthe Yellowjackets went 66-16 overall andwon two University Athletic Associationtitles. In his first season on the staff,Rochester went 25-2 and advanced to theDivision III regional semifinal while thecoaching staff earned honors from theUAA the NABC East Region and the NewYork State Basketball Association as theCoaching Staff of the Year. The followingseason, the Yellowjackets posted a 25-5mark and advanced to the Division IIIchampionship game.

Sweeney’s duties covered anything andeverything in the office, including recruit-ing coordinator as which he helped bring apair of all-conference performers and fourothers that played in the regular rotationthis past season. He also assisted withpractice preparation, in-game strategy andscouting reports, plus oversaw the filmexchange and monitored the student-ath-letes’ academic progress.

A four-year starter at Rochester,Sweeney was the team captain as a seniorand led the squad to a 24-6 record and theNCAA Division III semifinals in 2002, anda 23-4 mark and the regional semifinals in2003. He averaged seven points a gameover the two seasons and nearly fourassists while shooting 38.9 percent fromthree-point range and over 80 percent from

the charity stripe. Sweeney graduatedamong the top 10 at Rochester all-time inthree-point field goals made, assists andfree throw percentage.

Sweeney was named All-UAA in each ofhis four campaigns and earned the LysleGarnish Award for academic and athleticexcellence as a junior. The three-time mem-ber of the UAA All-Academic Team wasalso named to the Dean’s List in seven ofhis eight semesters.

“Davidson represents both top notch ath-letes along with committed students,” saidSweeney. “It is enjoyable to work with stu-dent athletes who work hard and continual-ly strive to improve. I want to contribute inhelping Davidson maintain its reputation asa top basketball program that competes yearin and year out for conference champi-onships and the NCAA tournament.”

Sweeney’s experience is not relegated tothe University of Rochester; he has servedas a coach at numerous camps along theEast Coast, including Davidson, Villanova,Princeton and Hofstra.

Swenney is single and currently residesin Davidson.

Bob McKillop, in his 19th season ashead coach of the Wildcats, is the other.

Driesell took over the Davidson pro-gram from Dr. Scott in 1960-61. Neverone to tread lightly entering a room,Driesell's Wildcats shocked powerfulWake Forest 65-59 in the first game heever coached at Davidson.

Driesell didn't come to Davidson towin every now and then, or to pull anupset occasionally. His mission - and it

was a mission - was to have the bestprogram in the country. To accomplishthat, he knew he'd have to hit the roadand recruit players that could competeat the highest level of college basket-ball while meeting the rigorous aca-demic standards of Davidson.

That would have been enough todiscourage most people, but Driesellhad many doors slammed in his face inhis days as a door-to-door encyclope-dia salesman. There was always anoth-er door to knock on, another presenta-tion to make, and the answer might beyes this time. Play the percentages,

Lefty thought then. Knock on enoughdoors and somebody is going to buy aset of books. It's the same philosophyhe followed later in recruiting. Therewas another roadblock, a rather seriousone. Davidson's basketball recruitingbudget for the entire year was a whop-ping $500.

That didn't deter Driesell, either.Made him a little bit angry, but didn'tstall him. Here's one way he overcameit. The athletic department had a greenChevrolet station wagon. Driesellpacked his personal belongings, drove

it to an airport in Ohio, parked inthe terminal lot and slept in the

vehicle overnight. The nextmorning he went to the air-

port restroom and shaved,changed clothes and met

the parents ofhigh school starDon Davidsonat one of theterminal gates.They didn'tknow untilmuch later thathe didn't fly in.Driesell knewthat coachesfrom NorthCarolina andDuke wouldn't

have to drive that far on arecruiting trip, and he was-

n't going to give them aninch.Driesell proved to be one of

the best recruiters ever. He broughtthe likes of Fred Hetzel, Dick Snyder,Mike Maloy, Jerry Kroll, Doug Cook,Barry Teague, Rodney Knowles, DonDavidson and countless others toDavidson. Most Davidson basketballhistorians would likely say that thebest player in Davidson history isHetzel, Snyder or Maloy, take yourpick.

Once he assembled the talent,Driesell coached them to play toughman defense, rebound and take goodshots. He won 176 games at Davidsonand lost only 65. His teams won threeSouthern Conference tournamentchampionships, played in three NCAAtournaments, and missed on at leasttwo more they should have made. For

Each man who ever wore the uni-form of Davidson basketball, and eachcoach who ever sat on the bench todirect the Wildcats, deserves recogni-tion and honor. That stipulation ismade here at the top, at the very begin-ning, as we celebrate 100 years ofDavidson College basketball with theplaying of the 2007-08 season.

Norman Shepard, for instance,coached Davidson for 12 seasons, from1938 to 1949, and produced teams thatwon 19 games in two seasons, 18games in two seasons, and 17 gamesonce.

Tom Scott coached theWildcats for five seasons,and while his record wasnot spectacular, he wasconsidered one of themost influ-ential athlet-ic directorsin America,and it washe whohired LeftyDriesell, anobscure highschool coach,to succeedhim asDavidson'shead coach.Talk about good execu-tive decisions!

Terry Holland,Driesell's first Davidsonrecruit, coached the Wildcatsfor five seasons, had a record of92-43 and won one SouthernConference championship. Many otherformer coaches made major contribu-tions in their own ways. Countlessplayers made headlines for their excel-lent play and brought glory to the redand black. Space limitations, of course,prevent us from detailing all theachievements of so many.

Any objective evaluation of men'sbasketball at Davidson would likelycome to the conclusion that two menand two coaching eras stand out as thecrowning achievements of Davidsonbasketball.

Charles G. (Lefty) Driesell,Davidson's coach for nine glorious sea-sons, is one.

instance, in 1963-64, the 22-4 Wildcatslost in the SoCon tournament inCharlotte to VMI, 82-81. The teams hadplayed twice in the regular season,with Davidson winning by 12 and 38points. There was no comparisonbetween the two teams, but that's tour-nament basketball. The best team oftenloses. Fans enjoy watching it for thesame reason they pull over to the sideof the road to get a better view of atrain wreck. Davidson's 24-2 team of1964-65, which Driesell said was one ofhis best, had won 23 games in a rowwhen they were beaten in overtime byWest Virginia in the SoCon tournament.Davidson didn't get a chance to play inthe national tournament because of thatloss. “That team would have been aserious contender for the nationalchampionship,” Lefty says, still smart-ing from the loss that ended his season.

Driesell's last two Davidson teamsgot within a breath of making the FinalFour. The 1967-68 team was 24-5,defeated St. John's and Columbia in theNCAA tournament before losing toNorth Carolina. In Driesell's last seasonat Davidson, the Wildcats were 27-3,ranked third in the nation in the lastnational poll, and beat Villanova andSt. John's in the NCAA tournament.Davidson was one win away from theFinal Four, but a two-point loss tonemesis North Carolina ended its sea-son.

The Driesell era saw the Wildcatsplaying before capacity crowds of11,666 fans at the old CharlotteColiseum. The excitement of havingsuch a great basketball program flowedacross the campus like rampagingrapids, all the time enhancing the spir-its and morale of students, alumni and

friends of the college. Driesell'sWildcats were featured on the cover ofSports Illustrated and other nationalpublications, and the widespread pub-licity dramatically increased the num-ber of student applications toDavidson.

Driesell's goal was to play the bestand beat them. He broke a long OhioState home winning streak by routingthe Buckeyes, 95-73. It was televisedback to the Charlotte area, and helpedcreate even more excitement aboutLefty and his team. The 1965 team beatWake Forest, Ohio State, Virginia,Alabama, and NYU.

The Driesell Era is known as “TheGlory Years.” Driesell and his playersmade a mark that will stand out aslong as the sport is played at Davidson.It's no exaggeration to say that Lefty'smiracle at Davidson is one of the great-est achievements in college basketballhisory.

Times change, of course. Rules aredifferent, the environment changes.Bob McKillop faces obstacles today thatweren't there 35 years ago. Recruiting,for example, has changed completely.While it used to be possible by hardwork to whisk away star players thatmany schools didn't know about,there's no way to do it now. There aremore recruiting services than there arefleas on a hound dog. Young playersare ranked and written about from thetime they enter junior high school.There are very few recruiting secretsout there. In fact, recruiting is a sportunto itself. There is no shortage what-soever of recruiting nuts. They are inample supply.

McKillop's tenure at Davidson, stillongoing, has produced a record of 311wins, 218 losses. He's won more gamesthan any basketball coach in Davidson

Charles “Lefty” Driesell guided the Wildcats to back-to-back regional final appearances in 1968 and 1969.

“By far the greatest dimension of Davidson basketball is the bond that grows between theplayers from year to year. it's a unity forged through innumerable hours of work on the courtand an enormous number of defining experiences off it. i am able to recall the hard-fought cham-pionships, the significant victories, and my best personal performances. But more than that it isthe faces of my teammates that i see, the guys i spent four years of my life with, and all thelaughs, jokes, pranks, and tears that we shared together. i can see how lucky we were to have somany great opportunities, and the way we seized them together… i'm still great friends with theguys i graduated with, and the bond that we share after four years of Davidson basketball is one

that can never be replaced.”

history. His teams have won fourSoCon tournament championships,dominated league play in the regularseason, and participated in four NCAAtournaments. McKillop has beenSouthern Conference coach of the yearsix times, and his 174 wins againstSoCon teams are the most by anycoach ever.

The consistency that he brings to hisprogram is extraordinary. His bril-liance in winning in conference playhas made the Wildcats the one team inthe league that wears a bull's-eye on itschest. If they would be honest about it,nearly every school in the SoConwould list Davidson as its number onerival. To win in this environment,where every road game is a festival,through thick and thin, in good timesand bad, is what makes McKillop'sprogram stand out.

He and his staff work extremelyhard in recruiting. They not only lookfor players with good basketball talentand excellent grades, but also foryoung men who will fit in well withthe players already in the Davidson

program. If a player had scintillatingbasketball skills, but showed traits ofbeing selfish or unconcerned aboutothers, he wouldn't end up atDavidson. McKillop doesn't recruitproblems.

Talk to the young men in Davidson'sprogram now, ask them why they cameto Davidson, and to the man they willmention McKillop's honesty in recruit-ing as one of their major reasons forcoming.

Like Driesell, McKillop will notduck a fight. This season's schedule isa prime example: North Carolina,Duke, UCLA, NC State. All strong pro-grams with multiple national champi-onship banners hanging in theirrespective arenas. It's the kind of chal-lenge McKillop likes for his team.

Ian Johnson, a 2006 Davidson grad-uate, and one of the best offensiveinside players McKillop has evercoached, is playing professional bas-

ketball in Sweden. When asked to com-ment on his playing days at Davidsonunder McKillop, he said:

“By far the greatest dimension ofDavidson basketball is the bond thatgrows between the players from year toyear. It's a unity forged through innu-merable hours of work on the courtand an enormous number of definingexperiences off it. I am able to recallthe hard-fought championships, thesignificant victories, and my best per-sonal performances. But more than thatit is the faces of my teammates that Isee, the guys I spent four years of mylife with, and all the laughs, jokes,pranks, and tears that we sharedtogether. I can see how lucky we wereto have so many great opportunities,and the way we seized them together…I'm still great friends with the guys Igraduated with, and the bond that weshare after four years of Davidson bas-ketball is one that can never bereplaced.”

McKillop's style is to keep basketballin perspective. Certainly, he's passion-ate about winning. He encourages hisplayers to experience the total collegelife at Davidson, which one could dis-cern from Ian Johnson's remarks.

The McKillop era is still goingstrong. He is only 57, has the energy ofa hummingbird, and should have manyproductive coaching years ahead.Driesell is retired from coaching andliving in Virginia Beach, Va. McKillopmarvels at what Driesell did atDavidson, and keeps reminders ofLefty's success sprinkled around hisoffice as a reminder that it has beendone, and can be repeated. What'swrong with dreaming?

McKillop's team last year won 29games, and by doing so broke therecord for most wins in a season (27)by a Davidson team, which was set byDriesell's 1969 Wildcats.

It would make no sense whatsoeverto try to pick one era as superior to theother, Driesell vs. McKillop. Both havebeen superb in their own ways, surrealin their excellence. Driesell's “GloryYears” and McKillop's (Magic).

Two great coaches along with theirexcellent players and assistant coacheshave written most of the headlines forDavidson basketball's first 100 years.Theirs has been an inspiring story.

And with McKillop, keep an opentab. The best might well be still outthere for him and his program.

The all-time winningest coach in school and conference history, Bob McKillop has led

Davidson to eight regular season crowns and seven postseason appearances.

The 6-1 guard was just one assist shy ofholding the SoCon record outright, he now shares a place inthe record books with Keith Jennings, who played at EastTennessee State from 1987-91. Richards entered the contestfifth nationally in assists per game (7.2) and has now dishedout 10 or more in four games this season.

For the second consecutive outing the Wildcats placed atleast five in double figures led by Thomas Sander who pouredin 24 on 10-of-17 shooting. Freshman Stephen Curry scored 20and knocked down six threes in just 19 minutes of action.Fellow frosh William Archambault hit four trifectas of his ownfor 16, while Max Paulhus Gosselin scored a career-high 14and Boris Meno added 12.

ChaTTanooga, Tenn. — DeC. 18, 2006

The backcourt trio of Stephen Curry, Max Paulhus Gosselinand Jason Richards combined for 71 points to lead theDavidson Wildcats to their fifth straight victory in a 92-80 tri-umph at SoCon foe Chattanooga.

The freshman Curry led all players with 30 points by drain-ing 11-of-21 from the floor, including 6-of-13 from long range.The shooting guard also grabbed 11 rebounds for his firstcareer double-double.

Richards contributed 19 points, one shy of his career high,with 17 points and all three of his trifectas coming in the final10 minutes. Entering the game second in the nation with 8.3assists per game, the point guard dished out nine more, plushauled in eight rebounds to nearly register a triple-double.

The surprising scoring outburst came from PaulhusGosselin, who poured in a career-high 22 points, including 4-of-5 from behind the arc. The offensive output was a surprisebecause the sophomore was averaging just 5.1 points a gameand had hit just three three-pointers all season.

Chattanooga held a two-point advantage at the break, 42-40,and doubled that following a Marcus Watts layup a coupleminutes into the second half. But Curry drilled a three, and jun-ior Thomas Sander dropped a trey in to tie the score at 50.Another three-pointer by Curry on the next possession gaveDavidson an advantage it never relinquished.

The lead, however, remained between one and five pointsuntil Richards took over the majority of the scoring. His three-pointer with 9:33 to play, followed by a Curry trey, put theWildcats up seven, 67-60. Then with 6:42 on the clock, Richards'three-point play boosted the lead to 11 at 75-64. Twice KeddricMays dropped in three-pointers for the Mocs, only to haveRichards answer with a long ball each time, maintaining the 11-point bulge.

Chattanooga had one last gasp, cutting the deficit to three at83-80 with 2:55 to play after a driving layup by KevinBridgewaters. Richards had the answer again, however, drop-ping in five of six from the charity stripe over the next minuteof play, while the Mocs could not score another point.

The hot shooting of Paulhus Gosselin helped the ‘Cats jumpout to an early lead which reached as many as 10 in the firststanza. Of Davidson's first 25 points, 16 came from PaulhusGosselin as he nailed his first four shots from downtown.

The Mocs battled back, taking one-point leads on three occa-sions before Mays canned a three-pointer with 10 seconds leftin the half for the 42-40 UTC lead at the intermission.

Tempe, ariZ. — DeC. 21, 2006

Boris Meno recorded his fourth career double-doublewith 17 points and 16 rebounds to lead Davidson to its sixthstraight victory in an 83-74 defeat of Ohio University atWells Fargo Arena to advance to the championship of theASU Sleep America Classic.

Meno was one of four Wildcats to finish in double figuresas he connected on 7-of-16 from the floor, including a pair ofthrees, in 36 minutes of action. Freshman Stephen Curry ledDavidson in scoring for the seventh time this season with 19points. Jason Richards added 18 with eight assists anddrilled all 10 of his attempts from the charity stripe, whileThomas Sander pitched in 13 points.

For the second consecutive outing the Wildcats hit 14treys, nine of which came in the first 20 minutes of action.Davidson only shot 39.1 percent (27-of-69) overall, but heldOhio to a season-low 37.1 percent (26-of-70). The Bobcatsentered the contest shooting an even 50 percent in their firsteight games. The Wildcats also made the most of theiropportunities from the free throw line missing, just one oftheir 16 tries (.938).

Curry drained one of his four three-pointers on the nightjust 15 seconds into the contest. After another trey byRichards two minutes later, Ohio would never have a pos-session in which they could tie the score. The ’Cats extendedthe lead to 11 by the break, 42-31, after a driving layup byRichards with four seconds on the clock.

The lead remained at least five points for the first 11 min-utes of the second stanza. But after Bubba Walther canned athree to get Ohio within four, 59-55, Davidson found itsstroke from downtown. Each of the Wildcats’ next fivescores came from behind the arc, including consecutivethrees by Sander after Ohio twice cut the lead to two.Richards remained cool in the final minutes, however, hit-ting all six of his free throw attempts to seal the victory.

The Wildcats have won all three meetings against Ohio,with the last game coming 31 years ago to the day. All-American and 13-year NBA veteran Dick Snyder, who was inattendance for tonight’s contest, scored 46 points on 20-of-26shooting for the Wildcats in the 96-63 victory on Dec. 21, 1965

Davidson point guard Jason Richards poured in a career-high 25 points to lead the Wildcats to a 75-70 victory over hostArizona State in the championship game of the 40th ASU SleepAmerica Holiday Classic. The win was Davidson’s seventhstraight and first against a current Pac-10 squad.

Richards, who scored 18 points and dished out eight assiststhe day before, was named the tournament MVP. The juniorconnected on 8-of-13 shots from the floor, including 4-of-5 frombehind the arc, while playing all but one minute in the game.Junior forward Thomas Sander contributed 14 points on 6-of-11shooting and a pair of treys, and freshman Stephen Curry

tallied 10.The Wildcats led by as many as 20 points with eight min-

utes to play before Arizona State began a frantic comeback.With Serge Angounou providing a pair of threes and a layup ina 12-0 run spanning just two minutes, the Sun Devils cut thedeficit to eight at 65-57.

Davidson maintained an eight-point edge with little morethan two minutes left in the contest. Arizona State got as closeas three at 73-70 with just 25 seconds left. The Wildcats man-aged to hit just 3-of-8 free throws in the final minute, but it wasenough to hold off the hard-charging Sun Devils.

Going into the second half, Davidson enjoyed a five-pointlead, then quickly hit three buckets — one a two-hand jam byjunior Boris Meno — to build a double-digit advantage whichincreased to 17, 52-35.

During the run Curry picked up his fourth foul with 16:44still to play, relegating him to the bench until five minutesremained. Yet Davidson continued to increase the lead until itreached 20 at 65-45, capped by a steal and fast break layup byfreshman William Archambault.

Arizona State was able to stay in the game in the openingstanza due to superior rebounding.

Along with tournament MVP Richards, Sander and Menowere both named to the all-tournament squad as they scored 27and 25 points, respectively, and Meno snared 21 rebounds inthe two games.

Freshman Stephen Curry scored a game-high 23 points,and Davidson survived a second half in which it managedjust six field goals to hold off visiting Western Michigan onSaturday night, 71-64. The victory was the eighth straight forthe Wildcats as they improved to 12-3 on the season. WesternMichigan fell to 4-8 in dropping its fourth in five games.

More than half of Curry’s 23 points came from the freethrow line, where he converted all 13 of his foul shots. Hestruggled from the floor, however, as did the entire Wildcatsquad. Curry hit just 4-of-17 (.231) field goals whileDavidson as a team shot just 33.3 percent (19-of-57), includ-ing a dismal 21.4 percent (6-of-28) in the second half.

The Wildcats enjoyed a 14-point lead entering the secondhalf, 40-26, but the Broncos whittled away at the deficit.Freshman David Kool stroked a trio of trifectas in the firstsix minutes of the final half to get Western Michigan withinsix points at 46-40.

Then with 2:11 to play, Kool cut the lead to just two, 64-62, with a three-point play. After the two teams traded a pairof free throws, the Wildcats missed a three-pointer, butsophomore Max Paulhus Gosselin came up with a big stealto thwart WMU’s first opportunity to tie the game.

Point guard Jason Richards hit one of his two free throwsafter being fouled, so the Broncos had one more chance.Stout defensive pressure forced a difficult shot from behindthe arc, and Davidson corralled the rebound. Curry andThomas Sander hit four free throws to seal the victory.

The backcourt duo of Jason Richards and StephenCurry each scored 20 points as Davidson held offChattanooga, 78-68, to advance to the semifinals of the2007 Southern Conference Men’s Basketball Tournament atthe North Charleston Coliseum.

Both members of the league's all-conference squad,Richards was perfect from the line (6-for-6), had fiveassists and a career-high five steals, while Curry nailedthree from long range, grabbed four boards, had fourassists and three swipes of his own.

Tabbed SoCon Freshman of the Year by both the coach-es and the media, Curry now has 107 threes on the seasonleaving him just three shy of breaking the NCAA DivisionI record for single-season treys by a freshman, held byKeydren Clark of St. Peter's.

Boris Meno also finished the contest in double figuresfor the Wildcats with 14 points, including a perfect after-noon from the line going 4-for-4.

Davidson concluded the contest shooting 42.6 percentthanks to hitting 15-of-29 attempts in the second half.Despite shooting just 34.6 percent from behind the three-point arc, the Wildcats made the most of their trips to theline converting 17-of-19 (.895) tries.

The two clubs battled back and forth in the first nineminutes to find themselves deadlocked at 11 beforeChattanooga went on an 11-3 run to grab a 22-14 lead atthe 8:06 mark in the first half.

Davidson wasted little time erasing the early deficit asthe Wildcats went on an 11-2 run of their own thanks toseven quick points off the bench from freshman guardBryant Barr to push his club in front, 25-24.

A Bernard Lowndes bucket followed by a KevinBridgewater jumper from deep made it 29-25 Chattanooga,but the Wildcats quickly closed the opening period on a 9-3 streak, capped off by Curry's second three-pointer with33 ticks to go, sending Davidson into the break up by two,34-32.

Both teams shot less than 35 percent and committeddouble-digit miscues in the first half. The only real differ-ence on the stat sheet was the Mocs' work on the boards asthey grabbed 11 offensive boards to control the column,26-18.

Davidson scored the first four points of the secondstanza to go up six, 38-32, but Chattanooga slowly foughtits way back to take a 49-48 advantage with 11:41 left on aMarcus Watts putback and dunk in respective trips downthe floor.

The Mocs last (and only) lead of the final period waserased on a Richards' long range jumper from the top ofthe key a minute later.

This marked the second consecutive year the Wildcatseliminated Chattanooga from the SoCon Tournament. Ayear ago Davidson knocked off the Mocs in theChampionship to advance to the 2006 NCAA Tournament.

CharlesTon, s.C. — marCh 2, 2007

After combining for 40 points in the quarterfinals,Davidson's backcourt of Stephen Curry (30) and JasonRichards (20) bettered that performance with 50 in the top-seeded Wildcats' convincing 91-68 triumph over FurmanFriday evening to earn a spot in tomorrow’s SoConChampionship game.

After starting the game 2-of-5 from the floor, Currymissed just two of his nine attempts in the second half enroute to scoring 25 points in the period. Along with a per-fect 6-for-6 night from the charity stripe, the native ofCharlotte, N.C., drilled six from downtown to reach the30-point plateau for the third time in his young collegiatecareer.

Scoring five points in only nine minutes due to foultrouble before the break, Curry, the SoCon Freshman of theYear, caught fire capping off a 16-6 Wildcat run to beginthe second half with three straight trifectas. His third longrange jumper and 110 of the season that gave Davidson a46-21 lead with 15:20 remaining, broke Keydren Clark ofSt. Peter's NCAA record for three-pointers by a freshman.

Richards, a 6-2 point guard from Barrington, Ill.,matched his scoring performance from yesterday's winover Chattanooga as well as added seven assists and fiverebounds. The All-Conference selection by both the coach-es and media was 7-of-11 from the field.

Following a below 40 percent total to begin theevening, the Wildcats torched the nets in the final half con-necting on 58.1 percent (18-31) overall and 9-of-16 (.563)from long range. Davidson concluded the contest with a48.3 shooting percentage.

First-year Wildcat Bryant Barr also contributed doublefigures with 11 points off the bench in 15 minutes ofaction.

Davidson shot just 38 percent in the opening period,but held the Paladins without a field goal the remaining11:32 of the half to double up Furman at intermission, 30-15. Following their opponents' final first-half bucket, aTony Anderson trey, the 'Cats closed on a 16-3 run.

The Wildcats' defensive pressure and communicationlimited the Paladins to a season-low points total for a halfand 23 percent (5-22) clip.

Unlike its quarterfinal matchup with ChattanoogaThursday afternoon, Davidson controlled the boards 26-15,including eight offensive in the first 20 minutes of action.

Curry's fifth bucket from behind the arc gave theWildcats' their largest lead of the affair, 63-34, with 9:26 toplay.

Buffalo, n.y. — marCh 15, 2007

Wildcat freshman Stephen Curry poured in a game-high 30 points, but Maryland placed six players in doublefigures to hold off 13th-seeded Davidson, 82-70, in the firstround of the 2007 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament atthe HSBC Arena in Buffalo, N.Y. The Wildcats concludethe season with a school-record 29 wins against just fivelosses, while Maryland advances to meet Butler in the nextround with an overall mark of 25-8.

A 6-1 shooting guard from Charlotte, N.C., Curry con-nected on 9-of-21 shots from the floor, including fivejumpers from behind the arc to reach the 30-point plateaufor the fourth time this year. The son of former NBAsharpshooter Dell Curry, Stephen (pronounced STEFF-in)concluded his debut season in a Wildcat uniform with 730points (21.5 ppg.) to lead the Southern Conference, and anNCAA freshman single-season record 122 three-pointers.

Maryland’s starting five each finished in double fig-ures, led by Mike Jones’ 17 points and three long-rangebuckets. The other starters for the Terps that added at least10 points were James Gist (12), D.J. Strawberry (12), EkeneIbekwe (11) and Greivis Vasquez (10), while Bambale Osbycontributed 11 in 21 minutes off the bench.

Ibeke led all-players with 10 boards, including seven onthe offensive end, to finish with a double-double asMaryland outrebounded Davidson, 54-35.

Davidson hit just 3-of-17 (17.6 percent) from three-pointrange and only made 29.4 percent of its overall attempts inthe second half to finish its second straight appearance inthe “Big Dance” with a 34.3 field goal percentage. TheTerrapins, who have now won eight straight first-roundNCAA games, shot 45.6 percent and 6-of-17 (35.3 percent)from the outside.

Curry and the Wildcats began the second half with aflurry as the frosh nailed a trifecta and followed with alayup to start a 9-0 run, giving Davidson its second eight-point lead of the contest, 52-44, with 17:32 left. Just like theopening stanza, Maryland responded in a flash scoring thenext eight points to tie the game for a seventh and finaltime.

A Boris Meno jumper with just over 10 minutes to playput the margin back in favor of the Wildcats, but that's thelast time they would lead as Maryland got back-to-backbuckets from Osby to go up 62-59. The Wildcats cut thedeficit to one on two separate occasions, but managed justtwo field goals, both from Curry, over the final 8:16 ofplay.

Trailing 27-25, Curry sparked a 10-0 Wildcat run to giveDavidson its largest lead of the first half, 35-2. But theadvantage lasted just under two minutes as Marylandscored 10 unanswered of its own to retake the lead, 37-35with 4:33 to go in the period.

After the two clubs traded buckets over the next 2:33 ofaction, Parrish Brown’s only field goal of the game, athree-pointer from the top of the key, sent the Terps into

the break with a slim 44-43 advantage.Curry led all scorers at intermission with 18 points on

5-of-9 shooting, including three buckets from deep and aperfect 5-for-5 effort at the line.

Despite all five Maryland starters picking up two first-half fouls, the Terrapins shot 50.0 percent (19-of-38) fromthe floor and controlled the glass, 28-17, thanks to 11offensive rebounds in the stanza.

This back-and-forth affair featured 14 lead changes andseven ties.

Davidson point guard and All-SoCon performer JasonRichards was the only other Wildcat to reach double digitsas the nation’s second-leading assist man scored 11 pointsand handed out seven helpers.

The Wildcats forced Maryland into 22 turnovers andrecorded a season-high 13 steals.

Despite the loss, Curry left the game to a standing ova-tion for his impressive performance.

This year’s trip to the NCAA Tournament was the ninthfor Davidson and fourth under 18th-year Head Coach BobMcKillop, whose club concluded the 2006-07 campaignwinners of 25 out of their last 27 games.

Stephen Curry dropped 29 points on College ofCharleston in the 2007 Southern Conference Tournamentchampionship game to lead top-seeded Davidson to a 72-65 victory over the Cougars Saturday evening at the NorthCharleston Coliseum.

Curry, the tournament's Most Valuable Player, startedslowly, but drained eight of his final 14 attempts to finish10-of-24 including four treys. The 6-1 shooting guard andSoCon Freshman of the Year ended his first conferencetournament with 79 points (26.3 average) in three contests.To go along with his 18th affair scoring at least 20 points,Curry pulled down eight rebounds, while playing theentire 40 minutes.

Joining Curry in double figures was junior forwardBoris Meno, who recorded his 10th career double-doublewith 14 points, 12 of which came after halftime, and 10rebounds.

Davidson started the second half on a 10-4 streak withfive points each from Meno and Curry as the Wildcatsstretched the lead to eight, 47-39. As quick as Davidsonextended the margin to the largest of the evening,Charleston answered with a 17-4 flurry to push the gameback in its favor, 56-51, with under 10 minutes to play.

The Wildcats responded with five unanswered points toknot things at 56 before David Lawrence and Curry tradedthrees to tie (59-59) the game one final time. Meno contin-ued to shine down on the blocks as the 6-8 native of Paris,France, broke the deadlock with a three-point play to putthe Wildcats up for good.

College of Charleston closed to within 64-62 with 1:45left, but Jason Richards' backdoor layup started a miniWildcat spurt that was capped by a Meno jam to make it70-63 and put the game out of reach.

Like Davidson, the Cougars placed just two in doubledigits with Lawrence and Jermaine Johnson contributing 13points each. After a career-high 38 against AppalachianState in last night's second semifinal contest, Charleston'sDontaye Draper was held to just eight points on 2-of-11shooting.

Despite shooting just 39 percent to College ofCharleston's 56 percent in the opening 20 minutes of action,Davidson forced the Cougars into 12 first-half turnovers tolead at the break, 37-35. After starting the contest just 2-of-10 from the floor, Curry connected on four of his next fiveto lead all-scorers at intermission with 15 points.

Following Tony White, Jr.'s third long range jumper ofthe period that gave Charleston a 31-26 advantage, Currybegan to find his groove as he sparked an 11-4 Wildcat runwith nine consecutive points.

Joining Curry on the all-tournament first team wasRichards, who averaged 14.6 points including a pair of 20-point performances in the Wildcats' three victories.

FEATURE ON THE 2007 NCAA TEAMThe day after Davidson was picked to

finish fourth in the SoCon South Divisionlast preseason, coach Bob McKillop walkedamong his players as they were stretchingon the court before the start of practice.

“Fourth in the South Division,” heexclaimed, loud enough for all of the play-ers to hear. “How does that make you feel?You proud of that? They picked you fourthin the division.”

As preseason predictions go, this onereally wasn't that unreasonable. Davidsonhad graduated seven seniors from the con-ference championship team of 2006. Notjust seven ordinary seniors, either, but play-ers that comprised most of Davidson's scor-ing, rebounding, passing and ballhandling,as well as its best defenders. Davidson'sleadership and experience walked down theaisle in caps and gowns the previous Mayto get their diplomas.

Like it or not, 2006-07 was rebuildingtime for the Wildcats.

When you're used to winning, asDavidson is, rebuilding is not synonymouswith failure - or defeat. Especially not withBob McKillop. He had warned his playersat the team banquet the previous April thatexperts would count them out the next sea-son. “But we have something for them,” thecoach told the packed room, “and that is …SURPRISE!”

It turned out to be a storybook seasonfor the Wildcats, all right. Three experi-enced juniors - Thomas Sander, JasonRichards and Boris Meno - took on the roleof leadership and excelled at it. MaxPaulhus Gosselin, a sophomore warrior,inspired the team with his unrelenting effortand defensive prowess. Paulhus Gosselinwas first in line to accept any small job thatwould help his team win. And then therewas a precocious freshman by the name ofStephen Curry, a 6-1 package of dynamitethat wasn't afraid of the devil himself.

Another freshman, Will Archambault,came off to bench to play in 33 games andaverage eight points. When Archambaultcouldn't play against rival Charlotte due toinjury, freshman teammate Bryant Barrstepped into his role and scored 11 points.Also coming off the bench and creatinghavoc for opponents was Davidson's “BigCat,” Andrew Lovedale. His energy, abilityto beat much smaller players down thecourt, and defensive and rebounding skillssparked the Wildcats on a consistent basis.Redshirt freshman Steve Rossiter, freshmanDan Nelms, sophomore Can Civi, and sen-iors John Falconi and Lamar Hull made sig-nificant contributions in ways thatimpressed the coaching staff.

The chemistry on the team was about asgood as it gets. The players genuinely likedeach other, hung out together, stuck togeth-er in tough times.

Davidson stood at 4-3 when it openedits Southern Conference season against Elon

on Dec. 1. The Wildcats sent a message thatnight that resonated throughout the confer-ence: Davidson 86 Elon 61. Then the Wildcatswent on a tear: 12 wins in a row, includingthe championship of a tournament hosted byPac-10 member Arizona State. AfterDavidson won 83-78 at Wofford, Terrierscoach Mike Young said, “They lost sevenreally good players from last year, and some-how they're better now than they were then.It's amazing.”

McKillop's young team seemed to be oncruise control when Appalachian State cameto Davidson on Jan. 20. Before a large, loudcrowd, Appalachian State won one of themost exciting games of the season, 81-74. Itwas an emotional game, and the defeat was aslap in the face to the Wildcats, one thatmaybe they needed at that point in the sea-son. Losing a conference game at home didn'tset well with any of them. It got the attentionof the players, that's for sure, who vowed notto let it happen again.

The rest of the schedule was against teamsfrom the Southern Conference. Davidsonwon them all - 13 in a row. The team pickedto finish fourth in the South Division was 17-1 in regular-season conference action. Butnothing was decided when Davidson headedto Charleston for the SoCon tournament tocompete for the automatic invitation to theNCAA tournament. Davidson had beendown that road before. Two years previous,the 'Cats went 16-0 in conference, lost in thesemi-finals of the tournament and failed toget a bid to the NCAAs, even though theywere one of only two teams in the nation togo unbeaten in their conference.

Clearly the conference's best team over atough home-and-home schedule, Davidsonwould have to validate three months of hardwork by winning three more games in threenights. If you think it's easy, basketball to youis a foreign language. Beating conferenceopponents - teams that know you so well -two and three times in a season is extremelydifficult.

UT-Chattanooga, a team that Davidsonhad already beaten twice, once by 30 points,put up a strong battle before Davidson pre-vailed, 78-68. Furman, which was playingwell, was the semi-finals opponent. Davidsondidn't mess around - 91-68, a knockout.

The championship game pitted two rivals,Davidson and College of Charleston. It was aroad game for the Wildcats, a tough dealwhen an NCAA tournament berth is on theline supposedly in front of a non-partisancrowd. Playing in front of 8,000 boisterousfans, about 80 percent of which supported thehome Cougars, the two teams put on a spe-cial game. Davidson led by two at halftime.Back and forth went the second half beforeDavidson prevailed, 72-65. Curry, the tourna-ment's MVP, had 29 points. Meno tallied 14and 10 rebounds. Richards had six assists,one turnover.

It was a team victory. Each man con-

Stephen Curry poured in 30 points against the Terps before leaving to a standing ovation.

tributed to the championship in a meaning-ful way. It was an unselfish, tenacious,tough team with excellent chemistry.

The opponent for the 13th-seededWildcats, making their ninth NCAA tourna-ment appearance, was Maryland. Davidsontook 29 wins with it to Buffalo for the game,the most ever won by a Davidson basket-ball team in a single season. It broke therecord of 27 wins set by Lefty Driesell's1969 team; many historians consider it thebest team in Davidson history.

Davidson gave Maryland more than theTerps had bargained for. Standing toe-to-toewith its ACC foe, Davidson didn't flinch.Maryland led by a point at the half, andwhen Max Paulhus Gosselin hit a spectacu-lar layup in transition after four minutes ofthe second half, Davidson led by eight.

The 'Cats couldn't hold on, as Marylanddominated the last three minutes to win, 82-70. It was a game Davidson felt it couldhave won, should have won. But after thedisappointment of defeat subsided, thecoaches and players were able to look backon the record-breaking season and appreci-ate it. Much was accomplished.

From a predicted fourth-place divisionfinish in its own conference, the Wildcatssoared to 29 dazzling victories, broke 15school records, enjoyed numerous individ-ual accolades, and served notice - not just toits conference, but to the nation - that theirsis a program that is justified in harboringdreams of national significance.

The players on Davidson’s 2005-06 bas-ketball team had decided well before the firstshot was taken that the only way to have asuccessful season would be to win theSouthern Conference championship andqualify for the NCAA Tournament. Theseven seniors made sure every player on theteam understood the mission.

Nothing less would do.It was coach Bob McKillop’s 17th

Davidson team, and it’s doubtful that he everhad one that had better chemistry. Teamunity was enhanced by a summer trip toItaly where the Wildcats went sightseeingand played six exhibition games, includingone against one of the best teams in theworld – the Italian National team.

Once practices began in earnest in mid-October, Davidson’s players were seriousabout their quest. The outside schedule wastough. The ’Cats won home games againstUMass, Saint Joseph’s, Missouri and droppedroad games to Duke, North Carolina,Syracuse, Charlotte and Illinois-Chicago.Davidson was overmatched against Dukeand UNC, but had excellent chances to winthe other three games. McKillop’s men arenot into moral victories, but playing well insuch tough venues toughened them for theSoCon regular season.

Good thing it did, because Davidson did-n’t waltz through the conference season. Itlost five regular-season conference games,including one at home to Western Carolina,the only home loss against 14 wins.

The Wildcats didn’t exactly roar into the

SoCon Tournament in Charleston in earlyMarch. They lost by 13 at Wofford on Feb. 11,2006, and were on the verge of droppingwhat would have been a shocker to Citadelin Charleston two days later. Senior JasonMorton came off the bench to rescue theWildcats, hitting all six of his 3-pointattempts and nailing 9-of-10 from the field toscore 27 points in 27 minutes. After winningby eight over Furman, Davidson dropped a76-73 game at Georgia Southern. On SeniorDay in the Baker Sports complex, theWildcats rallied to beat the rival Cougars, 65-63 on a Kenny Grant three-pointer.

Davidson ended the regular season with17 wins and 10 losses, and was 10-5 in theSoCon regular season. Based on their confer-ence play in the regular season, which hadbeen erratic, the Wildcats went to Charlestonfor the championship tournament as one ofseveral that were thought to be good enoughto win it, but not as the prohibitive favorite.

The team’s seven seniors however wereon a mission. Brendan Winters, Ian Johnson,Jason Morton, Matt McKillop, Kenny Grant,Eric Blancett and Chris Clunie wouldn’t getanother chance for a SoCon title. It was nowor never.

It was almost never. An inspired Citadelteam roared to a 19-point first-half lead, andfor a time it appeared that Davidson was toostunned to rally. But the Wildcats reduced thedeficit to seven by halftime, and behind MattMcKillop’s 21 points survived a scare, 79-73.Tournament basketball is all about advanc-ing. Style points aren’t important. Davidsonwas still alive.

Ian Johnson missed only two shots asDavidson eliminated Elon in the semifinals,65-58. The final score was closer than theactual game, as the Wildcats were in chargemost of the way.

It set up a bout for the championshipagainst Chattanooga, a team that had beatenDavidson on Jan. 23, 2006, by 65-59. With anNCAA Tournament bid at stake, it was a mis-match of major proportions. Behind a bril-liant 33-point performance by BrendanWinters, who would be named the tourna-ment’s Most Outstanding Player, Davidsoncruised to the NCAAs with a smashing 80-55win. Johnson and Matt McKillop joinedWinters on the All-Tournament team. CoachMcKillop was able to play all 14 of his play-ers who dressed for the game.

With championship trophy in hand,McKillop would take his third Davidsonteam to the NCAA Tournament, and overallthis would be Davidson’s eighth team tomake the Big Dance.

Given a 15th seed by the NCAA SelectionCommittee, Davidson was sent to Dayton,Ohio, to play against second-seeded OhioState, the regular-season Big Ten champions.With its campus in Columbus located only ashort bus ride from Dayton, the game wasfor all intents and purposes a road game forthe Wildcats.

FEATURE ON THE 2006 NCAA TEAM

Kenny Grant contributed seven points and nineassists in his final game as a Wildcat.

Ian Johnson capped off his Wildcat career with apersonal-best 26 points against Ohio State.

They weren’t the least bit intimidated. Intalking to his players at the pre-game meal,Coach McKillop said, “We have a realchance to win this game. We are going toattack Ohio State and knock them on theirheels.”

Davidson did just that. The 12,945 fans inattendance, most garnet and gray, weresilenced as Davidson led by four at halftime.Davidson stayed close for most of the sec-ond half, but the Buckeyes put togetherenough offense to win, 70-62. Johnson wasbrilliant for Davidson, as he thoroughly out-played Ohio State star Terence Dials.

In addition to the seven seniors,Davidson received outstanding performanc-es from sophomores Thomas Sander, BorisMeno and Jason Richards. FreshmenAndrew Lovedale, Max Paulhus Gosselinand Can Civi made major contributions tothe team’s success, as did junior JohnFalconi. Stephen Rossiter received an injuryredshirt, and he and Lamar Hull weresuperb practice players who helpedDavidson prepare for upcoming opponents.

Davidson ended the season with 20 wins,11 losses, a Southern Conference champi-onship, and the invitation to the Big Dance.

The Wildcats didn’t just show up for theNCAA Tournament, either. They went toDayton to win the game - and almost did it.It was a season of great memories for all ofthe Wildcats, especially for the seven seniors,all of whom earned their degrees.

FEATURE ON THE 2005 NIT TEAMThe 2004-05 Wildcats had some close calls

in Southern Conference regular-season play,but always found a way to win in compilinga sparkling 16-0 record, a full four games bet-ter than the second-place team in the SouthDivision and six games better than the NorthDivision champion. Davidson is the first con-ference team ever to go through the regularseason at 16-0.

How impressive was that unbeaten con-ference record? Only one Division I basket-ball team in the nation other than Davidsonwent unbeaten in its conference regular sea-son — the University of the Pacific.

“Our 16-0 record in conference play is anexperience that will stay with the players for-ever,” coach Bob McKillop said. “It was amagic carpet ride.”

Unfortunately for the Wildcats, they raninto a red-hot UNC Greensboro team in thesemifinals of the Southern Conference tour-nament and lost, 73-68. The defeat leftDavidson with a record of 21-8 and the bitterdisappointment of not making the 65-teamNCAA Tournament field.

However, Davidson was invited to thepostseason NIT and made the most of it. TheWildcats went on the road and won by 77-62at Virginia Commonwealth, and then scored

FEATURE ON THE 2002 NCAA TEAM

an impressive 82-71 victory before a loud andappreciative audience at South-west MissouriState, a win that McKillop calls “one of the bestwe’ve ever had here.”

Continuing its excellent play, Davidsonbuilt a 17-point first-half lead at Marylandbefore faltering in the second half and losing tothe Terps of the ACC, 78-63.

The Wildcats had to feel good about theway they rallied themselves from the deep dis-appointment of not making the NCAA tourna-ment to playing some of their best basketball ofthe season in the NIT. Instead of sulking andfeeling sorry for themselves, they went at theNIT with exceptional excitement and determi-nation, even though all of their games in thetournament were tough road contests. Theteam’s final record was 23-9.

“In order for us to respond so well in theNIT after not making the NCAA Tournament,it had to be an internal response from ourteam. It was a credit to our seniors, LoganKosmalski and Conor Grace, as well as an out-standing class of junior leaders,” McKillopsaid. “It’s a great statement about the kind ofpeople we have in our program.”

It was also a year of superlatives for the’Cats. Kosmalski and team-leading scorerBrendan Winters made the All-Southern

Conference team, with Winters also beingnamed the conference’s Player of the Year.Winters was named honorable mention All-America by the Associated Press and selectedto the USBWA All-District III team, the onlynon-ACC player to make the squad. McKillopcapped his 16th year as head coach of theWildcats by taking conference Coach of theYear honors for the fifth time.

Brendan Winters led the Wildcats to theirfirst two victories ever in the NIT.

Coming off a 15-17 record in 2001, andwith virtually the same players back forthe 2001-02 season, coach Bob McKillopfelt game experience would help restoreDavidson basketball to its winning ways.

There was a catch: Davidson needed tostay healthy. Injuries had ravaged the’Cats’ chances in 2001, and McKillop waslooking for better luck. He knew he hadexperienced players in seniors MichaelBree, Emeka Erege, Martin Ides and FernTonella. In addition, Chris Pearson, WayneBernard, Peter Anderer and MichelLusakueno were juniors, most with gameexperience.

Unfortunately, injuries struck the teamagain. Erege endured a painful leg injurywhile Bree hurt his elbow in the SouthernConference Tournament, which kept himout of the NCAA Tournament.

“This team will be remembered for fight-ing through many challenges, yet finding away to succeed,” Coach McKillop said. “Wehad injury after injury, but the resilience ofthe players was inspiring. For instance,when (Bree) was hurt, Wayne, Terrell (Ivory)and Fern took over as a point guard com-mittee and did a terrific job.”

McKillop also praised the senior leader-ship on the team. “The team bonded in away that those seniors are still extremelyclose to this day,” he said.

The Wildcats ended the regular seasontied with UNC Greensboro and EastTennessee State atop the SouthernConference North Division standings with aleague mark of 11-5. Davidson headed toCharleston for the conference tournamentknowing that it had to win three toughgames in order to get an invitation to theNCAA Tournament.

After beating The Citadel, 71-58, andWildcat nemesis UNC Greensboro, 68-58,Davidson found a way to overcome a 28-24halftime deficit and rally to beat Furman inthe championship game, 62-57. Andererpicked up the ’Cats in the second half, hit-ting five three-pointers, and in one stretchscoring 17 of Davidson’s 19 points. Hedropped in two clutch free throws with

eight seconds left to seal the victory. Hissterling play netted him the tournament’sMVP award.

The win sent Davidson to Albuquerque,N.M., for the NCAA Tournament as a 13seed to face Ohio State. The 13,661 fans inThe Pit quickly jumped on the side of theunderdog Wildcats, who fought andscrapped and trailed only 33-32 at halftime.Davidson got a sensational game from Ides,who scored a career-high 20 points andgrabbed seven rebounds.

Davidson led the game late at 59-58, butsenior Brian Brown scored Ohio State’snext eight points to give the Buckeyes a 65-61 lead with 2:35 to play. An Anderer 3-pointer with 35 seconds on the clockshaved the deficit to one point. After twoOSU free throws, Bernard broke opendown the lane off the dribble, but his layupattempt tantalized the crowd by rolling offthe rim. Ohio State prevailed, 69-64, yet thefans gave the Wildcats a standing ovationas they left the court.

“It was a special team,” Coach McKillopsaid, “one that left us with many extraordi-nary memories.”

Including one of the biggest wins in theprogram’s storied history, a 58-54 win overNorth Carolina in the Smith Center inChapel Hill.

Peter Anderer led the ’Cats into the 2002 NCAATournament and was named SoCon Tournament MVP.

FEATURE ON THE 1998 NCAA TEAM

The Wildcats had high hopes for the1997-98 basketball season. A strong cast ofplayers returned, led by senior guardsMark Donnelly and Billy Armstrong, jun-ior point guard Ali Ton, 6-0, junior for-wards Ben Ebong and Chadd Holmes, andsophomores Landry Kosmalski, StephenMarshall and Davor Halbauer, 6-3.

Davidson finished 18-10 the previousseason. Recent Davidson teams had pro-duced 20-win seasons, trips to the NIT butthe goal for 1998 was to get over thehump: win the Southern ConferenceTournament and go to the NCAA

Stephen Marshall attempts to dribble aroundMichigan’s Robert Traylor at the NCAA Tournament.

Tournament.Davidson and Appalachian State fin-

ished tied for first place in the SoCon’sNorth Division with records of 13-2. In thequarterfinals, the Wildcats got their tourna-ment legs in a 74-68 defeat of GeorgiaSouthern behind 20 points from Ton.

The Citadel focused on shutting downDavidson’s perimeter game in the semifi-nals, so the ’Cats went inside and highlight-ed Stephen Marshall, who hit nine of 12shots and scored 27 points. Ben Ebong cameoff the bench for 11 points and 10 rebounds,as Davidson won 68-59 to advance to thetitle game, fittingly against rivalAppalachian State.

It was a terrific game, back and forth theentire way. Ebong’s shot in the lane latekept Davidson ahead and directed theWildcats to a 66-62 victory and the confer-ence championship. Ebong was namedtournament MVP and joined teammatesMarshall and Donnelly on the all-tourna-ment team with Ton making the secondteam. Appalachian State lost only threegames all season to Southern Conferenceteams — all of them to Davidson.

The Wildcats were off to Atlanta to playMichigan of the Big Ten in the first round

of the Southeast Region of the NCAAs.Riding a 12-game winning streak,Davidson kept it close for a while beforethe powerful Wolverines and Robert“Tractor” Traylor pulled away for an 80-61victory.

“Mark Donnelly and Billy Armstrongwere our senior leaders,” coach BobMcKillop said. “The team hit the wall witha demanding schedule early, and we strug-gled in December. But we turned the cor-ner the first week of conference play andreally got going.”

It was the Davidson team that returnedthe Wildcats to the national spotlight in theNCAA Tournament – for the first time in12 years. “This team accomplished a lot forour program,” McKillop said.

FEATURE ON THE 1996 NIT TEAMFans who have followed Davidson bas-

ketball for many years probably would saythat the 1995-96 team is one of the best inschool history.

The team had a little bit of everything:five gifted seniors, explosive scoring that sawfour players average double digit scoring forthe season, three outstanding shot blockers, adefensive stopper in Jeff Anderson, qualitydepth and an offense that produced 123 moreassists than its opponents on the way to ascoring average of 84.3 points a game.

On average, Davidson outscored oppo-nents by 16 points a game. Examples: 88-56over East Tennessee State, 106-57 overMarshall, 71-46 over Georgia Southern, 90-68over Appalachian State. Those were allSouthern Conference opponents.

Davidson cruised through the SoCon reg-ular season, winning the North Division byfour games and seldom playing a close gamewhile posting a league record of 14 wins, nolosses. Senior Brandon Williams led theDavidson scoring parade at 18.2 a game. Hecould take it inside with his athleticism oroutside with his velvet shooting touch, onethat resulted in making 40.7 percent of this 3-pointers. He had plenty of help. ClassmateQuinn Harwood scored 13.9 points a game,sophomore Ray Minlend checked in with12.1 points a game, and junior NarcisseEwodo averaged 10.1 points. The quarterbackwas senior point guard Chris Alpert whocontributed 9.4 points and averaged 4.3 assists.

Bench scoring was terrific — Mark

Donnelly (6.1 points), Anderson (5.5), BenEbong (5.5).

Davidson had to earn its stripes all overagain in the league tournament in order toget an automatic bid to the NCAAs. Thequest began in the opening round by beatingEast Tennessee State for the third time, thistime by 24 points. In the semifinals the ’Catsbeat Marshall, also for the third time in theseason, this one by 15 points.

Then came the game that could punchDavidson’s ticket to the NCAAs. The champi-onship game opponent was WesternCarolina, which Davidson played only onceduring the regular season. The ’Cats pre-vailed 98-85, at Western in early February. Anathletic team that won the South Divisionregular-season title in the with a 10-4 record,the Catamounts averaged 81 points a gameduring the season. The title game turned intoa defensive struggle between two offensive-minded teams, and Western won, 69-60.

The Wildcats ended their regular seasonwith a mark of 25 wins against only four loss-es. They had reason to hope — even tobelieve — that they be would selected as anat-large entry to the tournament. When it did-n’t happen, Davidson was dejected, but stillaccepted a bid to the NIT.

The first-round game was at SouthCarolina, which won decisively, 100-79.

“It was a shocking end to our season,”Coach McKillop said of the loss to WesternCarolina. “We had five seniors on the teamand their dream was to play in the NCAA

FEATURE ON THE 1994 NIT TEAMDavidson’s 1993-94 basketball team

wasn’t viewed in the preseason as one thatwould make a serious run at the SouthernConference championship or a berth in apostseason tournament. The Wildcats werecoming off a 14-14 season in 1993, andcoach Bob McKillop’s rebuilding job wasstill a work in progress.

But Davidson’s players saw things dif-ferently. They wanted a taste of postseasonbasketball and thought they could achieveit. With seniors Janko Narat and JasonZimmerman leading the way with theirskills and leadership, Davidson defeatedUNC Charlotte twice, beat Clemson andwon a one-point game at N.C. State.

Sophomore Brandon Williams gaveDavidson athleticism and 14.4 points and6.3 rebounds a game, but Narat was theteam’s go-to guy. He averaged 17.7 pointswhile shooting 51.2 percent from the fieldand 81.9 percent from the free throw line.A versatile player, he could score from theperimeter or back his defender inside forsome deadly turnaround jumpers.

Junior center George Spain used hisleft-handed shooting skill to average 10.1points while Chris Alpert, the point guard,chipped in with 8.1 points and a team-

leading 130 assists. Quinn Harwood, 6-9,sophomore averaged 7.9 points andZimmerman 6.8 points. The defensive stop-per was Jeff Anderson, a versatile sopho-more who could guard three positions onthe court.

The Wildcats won 15 of their last 18games on their way to a final record of 22-8.They were 13-5 conference play in the regu-lar season, good for second place. The ’Catsadvanced to the league championship gameagainst UT-Chattanooga and had a realchance to win it with seconds left, but ashot in the lane failed and the Mocs held onfor a 65-64 win.

Davidson’s season wasn’t over, however.It received a bid to the NIT where it lost toWest Virginia, 85-69.

“Our disappointment of losing in theconference championship game and notmaking the NCAA Tournament was tem-pered somewhat because our team over-achieved,” McKillop said. “We got greatleadership from Zimmerman, who becamean even better leader when he was removedfrom the starting lineup. Our lack of post-season experience, on the part of coachesand players, was very evident in our gameagainst West Virginia. We were just so

happy to be in the NIT that we didn’t playour best. But we had an excellent seniorclass (Narat, Zimmerman, Ron Horton,Chris Shields) and a terrific season.”

There were superlatives, too. Narat andZimmerman surpassed 1,000 points in theirexcellent Davidson careers. Narat wasnamed to the All-Southern Conferenceteam and McKillop, in his fifth season asDavidson’s head coach, was named confer-ence Coach of the Year.

Brandon Williams averaged 14.4 points and 6.3rebounds per game for the Wildcats in 1993-94.

The 1985-86 Wildcats of coach BobbyHussey lost its last two games of the regularseason on its way to championship dreams inthe Southern Conference Tournament.Davidson lost 66-57 at Marshall and 76-70 atVMI to finish that part of its season with 17wins and 10 losses.

Maybe it was a good omen, because whenDavidson traveled to Asheville, N.C. to openplay in the SoCon Tournament four dayslater, VMI was the first-round opponent.Davidson would be ready.

Davidson finished 10-6 in the SouthernConference regular season, tied with Marshallfor second place behind 12-4 UT-Chattanooga. The Wildcats had not played inan NCAA Tournament since 1970, a long dryspell for a program that had lived in thenational spotlight under Lefty Driesell in the’60s.

Davidson and VMI had split two regular-season games with the ’Cats winning byseven at home and losing by six in Lexington,Va. In the rubber game, Davidson’s DerekRucker scored 17 points and Gerry Born had14 points and 10 rebounds as the ’Cats tooktheir first SoCon Tournament win since 1982,by the score of 71-62. Anthony “Ace” Tannerand Jeff Himes each scored 15 points to helpDavidson avenge that loss to the Keydets justfour nights earlier.

Davidson’s semifinal game was againstEast Tennessee State. It was back and forthfor most of the game. Davidson jumped to agood lead early only to see ETSU rally and tie

the game at halftime. The Bucs led by fourwith 7:43 to play, but a 10-2 Davidson rallyput the Wildcats on top 58-54 with 3:46 toplay en route to a 74-65 victory. Davidsonhad five players score in double figures:Tanner with 17, Born, Rucker, and Himeswith 12, and Jim McConkey with 10.

The championship game opponent wasUT-Chattanooga. Davidson led by 10 early inthe game, but UTC rallied to take a second-half lead in a low-scoring game. The gamewas tied with just seconds remaining whenBorn hit a 22-foot shot to win it for theWildcats, 42-40. Born was named the tourna-ment’s most valuable player and was joinedon the all-tournament team by teammatesRucker and Tanner. The 20-10 record head-ing into the NCAA Tournament wasDavidson’s best in 16 seasons.

Rucker led the ’Cats in scoring at 14points a game, followed by Born at 11.0,Himes at 10.2, Chris Heineman at 9.0 andTanner at 7.9.

The reward for the conference champi-onship was a trip to Charlotte to face anotherbreed of cat — the mighty Wildcats ofKentucky. Davidson battled Kentucky closefor much of the first half but fell behind by12 at halftime. Kentucky was never threat-ened in the second half en route to animpressive 75-55 victory. Born and Himesled Davidson’s scoring with 13 points eachwhile Rucker added 10. Kentucky had amassive advantage on the backboards, 39-19.

Davidson cut down the SoCon Tournament nets for the fifth time in school history in 1986.

As a young coach, Terry Holland wasoutspoken and optimistic about his outlookfor his Davidson basketball teams. Beforethe start of Davidson’s 1971-72 season,Holland was quoted, “Our returning veter-ans, Eric Minkin, Joe Sutter and JohnPecorak can give us the leadership andexperience we need to go with the youthfulenthusiasm of the sophomores. As coacheswe feel this combination is capable of 20wins and an NCAA berth.”

Holland’s prediction came within agame of being correct. Davidson ended theseason 19-9 and 8-2 in the Southern

John Falconi led the Wildcats in scoring with anavaerage of 16.1 points per game.

Conference regular season, which put theWildcats atop the league standings. Afterbeating Appalachian State, 87-77, in the open-ing round of the Southern ConferenceTournament, the Wildcats lost a heartbreakerin the semifinals to ECU, 81-77, thereby los-ing out on an NCAA trip.

It was an interesting season for Hollandand his Wildcats. In his third year asDavidson’s head coach, the former Wildcatstar player and assistant coach welcomedback a roster of one senior, two juniors and 10sophomores. Freshmen were ineligible forvarsity play, so this represented one of theyoungest teams in major college basketball.

Sutter, a 6-7 junior, averaged 15.9 pointsand 7.6 rebounds the previous season whenthe Wildcats finished 15-11. Minkin averaged10.8 points and 7.7 rebounds, and Pecorakscored 7.4 points a game and pulled 6.4rebounds.

The most ballyhooed of the sophomoreswas John Falconi, who averaged 25.5 pointsfor the Davidson freshman team. “We expecthim to do equally well against varsity compe-tition,” Holland said. Falconi didn’t disap-point anyone in red and black, as he led the’Cats in scoring at 16.1 points a game.

Davidson proved to be an extremely hardteam to guard as a balanced attack resulted in

five players averaging double digits inpoints: Falconi led followed by Sutter (15.7),John Pecorak (11.5), Minkin (11.5), sopho-more Mike Sorrentino (10.9). Sophomore T.Jay Pecorak (John’s brother) averaged 9.6points a game.

While the team’s goal was the conferencetournament championship and an automaticberth in the NCAA Tournament, Davidsonwas invited to the National InvitationTournament for the first time in the school’shistory. It should be understood that in thisera the NIT was almost as prestigious as theNCAA Tournament. In fact, in the late 1960s,coach Al McGuire of Marquette turned downan NCAA bid to accept one to the NIT.

Davidson went to New York to play inMadison Square Garden, maybe the mostfamous building in the world for basketball.The opponent was Syracuse, which defeatedDavidson in a squeaker, 81-77. Falconi ledthe Davidson scorers with 21 points whileMinkin hauled down 13 rebounds. NewYorkers Falconi and Sorrentino were thrilledwith the chance to play in New York and thestoried Garden. Sutter missed the NIT as hekept an earlier commitment to take part in aforeign exchange program in Mexico.

FEATURE ON THE 1970 NCAA TEAMThe storybook era of Davidson basket-

ball under coach Lefty Driesell ended inthe spring of 1969 when he resigned tobecome basketball coach at the Universityof Maryland, which he vowed to turn into“the UCLA of the East.”

Driesell’s first recruit at Davidson andhis former assistant coach, Terry Holland,was chosen to replace him as the Wildcatshead coach. It was a good year to take thejob. Davidson was 27-3 the year before,and returning were stars Mike Maloy,Doug Cook and Jerry Kroll, plus preco-cious sophomore Bryan Adrian.

Holland was excited. Before the seasonbegan, he said, “There isn’t any limit towhat we can do. A national championshipis a possibility.”

Davidson made Holland look goodwhen it ran the table in the SouthernConference, going 10-0 in the regular sea-son and then romping through the confer-ence tournament without playing in aclose game. Outside the league, Davidsondefeated Michigan, Georgia, Syracuse,Princeton and South Carolina, and lost bythree points to Duke in overtime before asellout crowd in the old CharlotteColiseum.

Champions of the SouthernConference, the Wildcats played St.Bonaventure in a first-round NCAA tour-nament game. Going against a St.Bonaventure team that featured 6-11superstar Bob Lanier, who would go on to

have a great career in the NBA, Davidsonled 36-34 at halftime but eventually lost, 85-72. Lanier was just too much. He had 28points, 15 rebounds, and his shot-blockingprowess made it tough on Maloy and Cookinside, as they combined to take only 24shots, 11 of which were made. Davidsonwent to the perimeter game with Adriantaking 26 shots and making 12 en route to a28-point performance. Davidson didn’t helpitself by making only 16-of-26 free throws.

With four offensive stars on the team,Holland wisely directed his offense to suitthem. Of the 846 field goals that Davidsonscored during the season, Maloy, Cook,Kroll and Adrian hit 660 of them. Adrianaveraged 20.2 points a game, Maloy 17.4,Cook 15.6 and Kroll 13.4. Cook led the teamin field-goal percentage at .500. Maloy aver-aged 12.7 rebounds and Cook 10.2

The era of Maloy, Cook and Kroll endedwith a 22-5 season. Over their three varsityseasons, Davidson won 73 games, lost only13, and played in the NCAA Tournamenteach season, twice advancing to the EliteEight where they lost to North Carolinaeach time.

The Wildcats were prominently in thenational picture during the entire Maloy-Cook-Kroll era. It was a special time in thevillage.

Bryan Adrian scored 28 pts in the NCAA Tourney.

FEATURE ON THE 1969 NCAA TEAMSometimes Lefty Driesell, the former

Davidson coach who guided the Wildcats tothe rarefied air of the nation’s Top 10 basket-ball teams, sits in his beachfront house inVirginia Beach, Va., looking out at the oceanand wondering which of his many Davidsonbasketball teams was his best.

Was it the brilliant 1964-65 team of FredHetzel, Don Davidson, Barry Teague, DickSnyder and other standouts that finished theseason with 24 wins against only two losses?It well could have been. Sports Illustratedpicked Davidson number one in the nation inthe preseason. That team beat Wake Foresttwice by seven points each time, hammeredOhio State by 23, beat Virginia by 12,Alabama by 17, and dominated the toughSouthern Conference, going unbeaten againstthe league in the regular season. It includedtwo victories over conference rival WestVirginia by nine and 23 points. What gallsDriesell to this day is that team, as splendid asit was, didn’t even get a chance to play in thepostseason when it lost by two points to WestVirginia in the conference tournament cham-pionship game, a loss that broke a 23-gamewinning streak. The ’Cats were ranked sixthin the nation in the final poll of the season.

“That team was good enough to make aserious run at the national championship,”Driesell said recently. “It had everything:good shooters, excellent rebounders and scor-ers, good ball handlers, and we could flat outplay some defense.”

Or maybe it was Davidson’s 1968-69powerhouse team, which won 27 games andlost three, and was mere seconds away fromgoing to the NCAA Final Four. “This is theteam that won more games than any team Icoached at Davidson,” Driesell said, “somaybe it was the best we ever had.”

Certainly, a good case could be made forit. The ’Cats finished third in the nation in thefinal poll. It was a team that had experience,depth, great rebounding, scorers, excellentball handlers and defensive stoppers.

In an effort to build his program and put iton a national stage, Driesell never ducked

tough non-conference games. The1968-69 teamdemonstrated the truth in that statement, as itdefeated Vanderbilt, South Carolina, Maryland,Texas, Michigan, Wake Forest, Duke andPrinceton. Again unbeaten in regular-seasonconference play, the Wildcats had to prove it allover again in the conference tournament, whichit did by routing VMI, Richmond and ECU.

It was a veteran and gifted team thatDriesell took to the NCAA Tournament. Threejuniors that came to Davidson in the samerecruiting class made up the starting frontcourt:Mike Maloy, Doug Cook and Jerry Kroll. Theycomplemented each other perfectly. Maloy wasquicker than bad news and almost impossible toguard in the post and keep off the offensiveglass. He was a ferocious rebounder and shotblocker. Cook was competitive, tough, liked toget inside and bang for position, and he couldscore from the low block. He and Maloy formeda rebounding tandem that gave opponents fits.Kroll was more of a finesse player, a player withsavvy who could score, defend and rebound,and never lost his cool. The senior backcourtwas special, featuring Wayne Huckel, 6-3, at thetwo-guard, and Dave Moser, 6-1, at the point.Those two had played on the varsity togetherfor three seasons and fit like a hand in a glove.Two excellent seniors — Mike O’Neill and MikeSpann — were available off the bench.

Davidson opened NCAA Tournament playwith a 14-point win over Villanova. Then it wasoff to College Park, Md., for the East Regionals.After defeating St. John’s, 79-69, old nemesisNorth Carolina stood between Davidson andthe Final Four. Ironically, one of UNC’s starswas Charlie Scott, a superstar who had verballycommitted to Davidson during his high schoolrecruitment but changed his mind.

The game that ensued was befitting of twosuperpowers. Close the entire way and heated-ly contested, Davidson had the ball with undera minute to play in a tie game and was holdingfor the final shot. Kroll reversed his dribblenear mid-court, and when he moved in theopposite direction he collided with NorthCarolina’s Gerald Tuttle, who had positionedhimself to take a charge, which was the offi-

cial’s call. Possession to North Carolina.In the UNC timeout huddle, coach Dean

Smith told Scott, “They will be looking foryou to take the final shot, so be patient, and ifyou see an open teammate, get him the ball.”

Scott controlled the ball and never intend-ed to give it up. It was a final shot that helater said he wanted badly. With the score-board clock beating down to zero, and thescore tied at 85, Scott got just inside the foulcircle, jumped and fired. Nothing but net. Theshot had such important meaning to so manypeople that some, including Driesell, believeScott took the shot from deep on the court,from what would now be well beyond the 3-point arc. Tapes of the game, however, showthat the winning shot was from about 18 feet,just inside the foul circle. Whatever the recol-lections of fans of both schools, everyoneremembers Scott’s great game when he led allscorers with 32 points, which overshadowedthe superb 13-rebound performance byMaloy.

As the North Carolina bench explodedwith joy on the home court of the MarylandTerps, Lefty Driesell dropped to his knees infront of Davidson’s bench, buried his head inhis hands and stayed there for what seemedlike an eternity. “We played great, and it wasa tough loss to take,” Driesell said. It was thesecond year in a row that North Carolina haddenied Davidson a trip to the Final Four.

The 1968-69 Wildcats won more games(27) than any Davidson basketball team inhistory. So, was it Davidson’s best basketballteam ever? “It could be,” Driesell said. “Itwon more games than any of my teams there.But some of my other teams were really good,too, so it’s hard for me to say.”

The game with Carolina turned out to beDriesell’s last at Davidson. In the spring of1969, he left to accept the head coaching posi-tion at the University of Maryland.

FEATURE ON THE 1968 NCAA TEAM

Davidson’s 1967-68 Wildcats were anexciting blend of youth and experience, acombination so lethal that it had coachLefty Driesell and the team’s fans thinkingof a trip to the NCAA Final Four.

Rodney Knowles, 6-9, was a seniorfrontcourt player who averaged 18.4 pointsand 12 rebounds as a junior, a season inwhich the rebuilding Wildcats won 15games and lost 12. Key returning playersfrom the 1966-67 team also included start-ing point guard Dave Moser (8.9 points),sharp-shooting wing Mike O’Neill (11.1points, 5.4 rebounds), the swashbucklingWayne Huckel, 6-3, who averaged 16.8points as a junior, and was so tough that hewore baseball sliding pads to help survivethe skid marks he received from diving onthe floor. Tom Youngdale (10.7 points), andMike Spann (5.5 points) also returned,among others.

Joining those talented players weresophomores Doug Cook, Mike Maloy andJerry Kroll (freshmen weren’t eligible toplay varsity basketball in this era).

As usual, the Wildcats under Drieselldidn’t dodge a fight. They played the likesof Michigan, Vanderbilt, Memphis State, St.Joseph’s, St. John’s, Temple, Wake Forest

and Duke. It was a splendid team, defensive-ly tough and one of relentless rebounders.Davidson, led by Maloy’s average of 11.7rebounds a game, out-rebounded opponentson a average of nine a game, and the stiflingman-to-man defense that Driesell drilled intohis players each afternoon resulted in oppo-nents shooting only 39.8 percent for the sea-son, as opposed to Davidson’s 49.4 percent.

Stopping the ’Cats on offense was a com-plicated equation. Five players scored in dou-ble figures, led by Maloy’s 15.6 points, withMoser just out of double digits with an 8.6-point average. Driesell was a firm believer inattacking inside with high percentage shots,which resulted in Davidson taking 134 morefoul shots than its opponents.

Davidson went through the SouthernConference regular season with a record of 9-1, and then won the conference tournamentto qualify for the NCAA Tournament. The’Cats beat St. John’s in the NCAA opener, 79-70. It was off to Reynolds Coliseum inRaleigh for the East Regionals, whereDavidson was to meet Columbia of the IvyLeague and North Carolina was to playunbeaten and third-ranked St. Bonaventure.North Carolina had a surprisingly easy timewith Bob Lanier and St. Bonaventure (91-72)while Davidson eked out a 61-59 overtimewin over Columbia.

It set up a showdown between UNC andDavidson, a game Driesell had been clamor-ing for publicly. North Carolina coach DeanSmith had a policy that he would not play in-state schools during the regular season otherthan the ones in the ACC, and it galledDriesell, who accused Smith of ducking him.

Reynolds Coliseum was filled to capacity(12,600) on Saturday night, March 16, 1968. Aheavyweight battle was expected by fans andthe media, and one resulted. Smith’s philoso-phy was to play his bench in and keep freshplayers in the game. Tired players couldremove themselves from the game and putthemselves back in when they were rested.Driesell, on the other hand, believed in play-ing his five starters and maybe one or tworeserves. In this game, North Carolina playedeight players and Davidson six. Davidson’sstarters of Moser, Huckel, Maloy, Kroll andKnowles were relieved by O’Neill, whoscored seven points and pulled five reboundsin a superb performance.

It was scintillating game from the outset.With the crowd roaring and often standing,Davidson took the early lead behind itsdefense and led at halftime, 34-28. UNC shot39.4 percent in the first half to Davidson’s41.9 percent. However, North Carolina alsoprided itself on its defense, and whileDriesell preferred straight man-to-man, withno switching, North Carolina went with adefensive smorgasbord of man-to-man, half-court traps and a point zone. North Carolinaturned the tables in the second half, holdingDavidson to 29.4 percent shooting from thefield while the Tar Heels connected on 48.3

percent of its second-half shots.North Carolina won the game, 70-66, for

the right to advance to the NCAA Final Four.But it was a sensational battle, one so goodthat an encore was needed. Moser andMaloy played all 40 minutes in the game forDavidson, with Knowles going 39 minutes.Four Wildcats scored in double figures, ledby Maloy’s 18 points and 13 rebounds.Knowles cashed in 12 rebounds as Davidsondominated the backboards, 47-37.

Ironically, North Carolina’s two leadingscorers in the game, Rusty Clark (22 points,17 rebounds) and Charlie Scott (18 points,six rebounds), were recruited extensively byDriesell.

“People need to remember that theNCAA didn’t seed teams in those days,”Driesell said. “They kept you in your ownsection of the country. There were very fewgood teams in the West then and a bunch ofgood ones in the East. If the system had beenin place then that’s in use now, Davidsonand North Carolina both would have beenNo. 1 seeds. We wouldn’t have met beforethe Final Four. It’s a shame that we did,because both of us had great teams, in 1968and 1969.”

Davidson ended its season with a recordof 24 wins, five losses. With so many talented players returning, the best was ahead,another great season that would result in yetanother classic battle with the team fromChapel Hill.

Mike Maloy was a big reason the ‘Cats won theSoCon Tourney and advanced to the Elite Eight.

FEATURE ON THE 1966 NCAA TEAMCoach Lefty Driesell believed that his

Davidson basketball team faced a mammothrebuilding in 1965-66, which was true. After all,the Wildcats had lost to graduation All-Americaand Southern Conference Player of the YearFred Hetzel as well as stars Don Davidson andBarry Teague from the previous year’s teamthat compiled a record of 24-2. Hetzel scored2,032 points in his three varsity seasons, whileDavidson was a tough defender and double-digit scorer and Teague was a talented, reliablepoint guard. The three had started for theWildcats for three years and catapultedDavidson into the national basketball picture.

To continue on the national stage in 1966,Driesell would have to depend on three inexpe-rienced sophomores (freshmen were not eligi-ble to play varsity basketball in those days.) Butthere was some good news, too. Some verygood news. Back for his senior season was DickSnyder, one of the greatest players in Davidsonbasketball history. Snyder had averaged 15.9points a game as a sophomore and 20.2 pointsas a junior. In addition, he was one of the bestdefensive players in all of college basketball.

“I can’t think of a man I’d trade him for,”Driesell said before the start of the season.

But if Davidson were going to succeed,Snyder couldn’t do it alone. New faces wouldhave to step up. They included Phil Squier, 5-11, an inexperienced senior, and sophomoresRodney Knowles, 6-8, Tom Youngdale, 6-10,and Bobby Lane, 6-3.

“We lacked experience, but those guys cer-tainly achieved a lot,” Driesell said.”

That they did.Davidson won seven of its first eight, los-

ing the opener to Wake Forest by one pointbefore dropping a five-point decision to Navyin the Charlotte Invitational Tournament. The’Cats entered the SoCon Tournament with arecord of 17-5, meaning they would have towin the tournament championship in order toadvance to the NCAA tournament. They wereup to the task, defeating

Syracuse defeated Davidson 94-78. A con-solation game to decide third place was playedin the regionals in those days and Davidsonlost to St. Joseph’s, 92-76, to end its season.

It was a good year, maybe even an over-achieving one, as Davidson finished with 21wins and seven defeats. The Wildcats accom-plished their mission of keeping Davidson bas-ketball in the national spotlight, while givingDriesell time to load up with more talent.“Twenty-one wins is about as much as anyonecould have expected from that team,” Driesellrecalls. “They accomplished a lot.”

Snyder won All-America honors with anabsolutely sensational season. Even with allopponents gunning for him and often double-teaming him, he averaged 26.9 points a gamewhile shooting 56.3 percent from the field and79.7 percent on his free throws. But offensewas just part of Snyder’s game. He pulled 9.2rebounds a game, and was Davidson’s bestdefensive player.

“He was an absolutely great defensiveplayer,” Driesell said. “I usually put him on theother team’s top scorer, and it was normal forhim to hold the guy to 10 points less than hisseason’s average.”

A master recruiter, Driesell said that thefather of one of his Davidson players, DonDavidson, had seen Snyder play a high schoolfootball game in North Canton, Ohio.

“Mr. Davidson called me,” Driesell said,“and told me he saw this great quarterbackplay, and the kid had jumped over a tackler inthe open field on his way to a touchdown.”

Intrigued by a football athlete with suchspeed and jumping skills, Driesell was off toNorth Canton to recruit Snyder. Ranked as oneof the best high school football quarterbacks inthe country, the big football schools were linedup to recruit him, including Ohio State andNotre Dame.

But on the recruiting trail, Driesell took aback seat to no one, including Notre Damefootball. He and Snyder had a great visit, thecoach recalls, but Driesell said that Snyder toldhim he was going to the U.S. Naval Academy.

“I gave him my telephone number and toldhim to call me if he changed his mind,”Driesell said. Not long afterwards, Driesell gotthe call he coveted. Snyder, Driesell said, wascolor blind and couldn’t be admitted toAnnapolis. He wanted to come to Davidsonand join the basketball revolution.

“The day he signed with us,” Driesell said,“Notre Dame had people in his house trying totalk him into playing football for the Irish.”

Getting Snyder to come to Davidson was

worth all the work that Driesell put into it. Heended up as an All-American, the 1966Southern Conference Player of the Year, andscored 1,703 points in just three seasons of var-sity basketball. He went on to an extremelysuccessful career in the NBA. He held OscarRobertson, who many people think is the bestguard in the history of basketball, to 14 pointsin one NBA game while scoring 14 himself.After the game, Snyder said, “Playing defensein the pros hasn’t been an especially difficulttransition for me, because Coach Drieselltaught me how to play it at Davidson.”

While Snyder was the unquestioned leaderand star, the 1965-66 Wildcats also got a sterlingperformance from Knowles, who averaged 19.4points and led the team with 9.9 rebounds.Fellow sophomores Youngdale and Lane bothaveraged 10.2 points a game, while seniorSquier scored 7.6 points a game. This Davidsonteam shot an impressive 51.2 percent from thefield while holding opponents to 40.6 percent,and averaged 82.8 points a game. Prettyimpressive for a rebuilding season.

It was a typical Driesell-coached team: com-petitive, tough and defensive-minded, withgood shooters and led by a superstar.

They called Snyder “super horse” atDavidson. He was that and more, one of thegreatest players ever to wear the red and black.“He was special, that’s for sure,” said Driesell.

For good measure, Snyder also starred inbaseball for the Wildcats.

“When it came to athletics,” Driesell said,“Dick could do just about anything he wantedto. That even included riding a bicycle betterthan anybody else.”

Davidson Collegepresident Thomas W.Ross knows somethingabout basketball excel-lence. He was a stu-dent at the college dur-ing the so-called“Glory Years” ofDavidson basketball,orchestrated by theirrepressible Lefty

Driesell. And he begins his reign as collegepresident as Bob McKillop enters his 19thseason as Davidson's head coach.

Anyone who surveys the landscape ofDavidson basketball for the past 100 yearswould have to agree that the most impres-sive eras were those of Driesell andMcKillop. Ross has observed both closely,and has a perspective on the two that fewothers could match.

College basketball, and the way it's con-ducted, the intense interest in recruiting,has changed dramatically from Lefty'syears to now.

“There wasn't as much national atten-tion on recruiting when Lefty was here,”Ross said. “Hard work mattered very muchin those days. The coach that worked hard-est to find players had a chance to be suc-cessful, and nobody worked harder atrecruiting and building a program thanCoach Driesell. What he did here with thebasketball program is phenomenal, there'sno question about it.”

Ross witnessed Driesell's success atattracting top-flight students and basketballstandouts to a small, powerful academicinstitution that cuts its athletes no favors,and he realizes it makes for one of the mostinspiring stories ever in college basketball.Driesell put the Wildcats in the top 5 in thenational rankings, took them to the NCAAElite Eight, and won national acclaim forthe school and its basketball program.

“Lefty brought great players and excel-lent students to Davidson,” Ross recalls,“and once he got them here, he knew howto coach them.”

Ross says the success of the basketballprogram during Driesell's era was “tremen-dous for campus morale. We were sellingout games at the Charlotte Coliseum andconsistently were ranked in the nationalpolls. It was an incredibly exciting time andadded many positive things to campuslife.”

It's been 38 years since Driesell coachedat Davidson, but basketball fever is sweep-ing the Davidson community and the cam-pus under Bob McKillop's astute coaching.

“We are indeed feeling the excitement

again,” Ross acknowledges. “Our team wasin the Top 25 in some of the preseasonpolls. Our students and alumni are excitedabout the season.”

Ross says while recruiting is much moreintense and publicized today than it wasduring Driesell's era at Davidson, he never-theless thinks it's possible for Davidsonbasketball to compete with the nation's topbasketball programs.

“Bob McKillop is a heck of a coach anda great ambassador for Davidson College,”Ross said. “While the landscape is differentnow, some excellent athletes are out therewho desire a school like Davidson. Thereare some jewels to be found in recruitingthat would fit well here.”

Identifying those players, and then con-vincing them to come, is a never-endingchallenge. It was for Driesell and remainsso for McKillop. Ross understands wellthese complexities of basketball, as well asthe hurdles put in front of schools likeDavidson and other so-called “mid-majors.”

“When the NCAA tournament wasopened to 64 teams, and more than oneschool per conference was allowed to par-ticipate in it, it changed things dramatical-ly,” he said.

It gave the power conferences multipleberths in the tournament, while it did verylittle for teams that play in conferences suchas the Southern. It's not fair, but it is a factof life. Despite the robust denials, televisiondictates much of what goes on in collegebasketball these days, and viewers like towatch the powerhouses compete. At leastthat's the rationale.

Ross understands how hard it is to wina conference tournament, which is the onlyguaranteed spot the Southern Conferencegets in the NCAA tournament. A teamcould go undefeated in conference regular-season play, lose a close game in the confer-ence tournament, and then be ignored bythe NCAA Selection Committee. Just such athing happened to Davidson two years ago.

“With 29 wins last season and theschedule we played, Davidson should havereceived an at-large bid to the NCAA tour-nament if we hadn't won the conferencetournament,” Ross said. “But I doubt itwould have happened.”

Davidson has North Carolina, Duke,UCLA and NC State on its schedule. Rossthinks it's a good idea to play these powerteams. “It helps the school, the program,

and the students certainly want it,” he said.“Players like Stephen Curry and his team-mates deserve a chance to play against thevery best. They've worked hard to achievethat level of success.”

Ross, meanwhile, marvels at whatDriesell accomplished at Davidson, andwhat McKillop keeps on producing. Bothcoaches achieved great basketball success ina tough academic environment that allowsno shortcuts. In looking at the two eras,Ross doesn't take sides. Each era is uniqueto its time. Lefty is retired and living inVirginia Beach. McKillop's work is ongoing.

Ross says, “I think what Bob's done hereis equal to what Lefty did.”

Two great periods in Davidson's 100years of basketball history. Fortunately forRoss, he's had a bird's-eye view for both.

Jim Murphy was intro-

duced as Davidson

College's Director of

Athletics in November

of 1995, returning to his

alma mater to lead the

Wildcats on the eve of

their 100th anniversary

of intercollegiate athlet-

ics and into the next

century. Prior to his

appointment at

Davidson, Murphy, 50, spent 10 years as

executive associate athletic director and

chief financial officer for the Georgia Tech

Athletic Association.

Murphy, an Atlanta native, played foot-

ball and baseball during his freshman year

at Davidson. His experience has been

invaluable as Murphy guides a program

which is unique in its desire for excellence

in both athletics and academics and has one

of the smallest enrollments among NCAA

Division I schools.

Reflecting his support of academics,

Davidson's NCAA graduation rate of 91

percent was the highest in Division I in

2001-02, second in 2002-03 with a rate of 97

percent and continues above 90 percent

each year.

“I firmly believe Davidson represents

the ideal in college athletics and think the

success of Davidson's students, both in com-

petition and after graduation proves that,”

said Murphy. “It's true that Davidson needs

intercollegiate athletics, but intercollegiate

athletics need Davidson even more.”

Since Murphy's

return to Davidson,

the Wildcats have pur-

sued several major

capital projects,

including the creation

of the highly-innova-

tive $10 million

Davidson Scholars

Program, and major

improvements have

been completed in

Belk Arena and at

Smith

Field/Richardson

Stadium. The last

three years have seen

the construction of the

Belk Artificial Surface

Field for field hockey, the new Alumni

Stadium for soccer, Wilson Baseball Park

and the football stadium expansion project

including a state-of-the-art weight room, a

new press box and additional permanent

seating.

Murphy, the 2004 NACDA Division I-

AA/I-AAA Southeast Region Athletic

Director of the Year, is currently serving a

second term on the prestigious NCAA

Division I Management Council, a policy-

making body within the NCAA governance

structure. He chaired the Division I-AA

Governance Committee and formerly

served on the NCAA Division I Business

and Finance Cabinet, the Division I

Governance Committee and the Division I

Finance Committee. From 2002 to 2004,

Murphy chaired the Athletic Directors

Association of the Southern Conference. He

was part of Charlotte's successful bid to host

the NCAA Division I Men's Soccer

Championships in 1999 and 2000 and also

served as Tournament Director of the First-

and Second-Round games of the 2005

NCAA Men's Basketball Championship in

Charlotte.

Murphy is a past member of the

Division I Football Issues Committee and

serves as President of the Football

Championship Subdivision Athletic

Directors Association. He was also a mem-

ber of the NCAA Task Force on Recruiting,

an 18-member panel charged with changing

the culture of recruiting in intercollegiate

athletics.

Murphy, a Certified

Public Accountant and

1978 graduate of

Davidson with a degree

in economics, earned a

Master of Science degree

in management from

Georgia Tech in 1979.

He worked from 1979-

85 as an audit manager

with the international

public accounting firm

of KPMG Peat Marwick

in Atlanta with respon-

sibility for financial

statement audits of pub-

lic and private compa-

nies with up to $1 bil-

Scott Applegate is in

his 19th year at

Davidson. A 1982 grad-

uate of East Carolina

with an M.A. from

Miami University in

1984, Applegate began

his tenure at Davidson

as an assistant athletic

trainer in the fall of

1989. In his nine years

in that role, he was the

trainer for the men's

soccer team that played in the College Cup

in 1992, then served as the medical coordi-

nator at the event the following two years.

Applegate also acted as the medical

coordinator for the 1997 NCAA Men's

Basketball Tournament First and Second

Rounds in Charlotte.

In 1998, Applegate took over the duties

as head athletic trainer, a position he held

for four years. He continued his service on

the national stage, serving as the medical

coordinator for the 1999 and 2000 Men's

College Cups in Charlotte.

Applegate was promoted to Assistant

Director of Athletics for Operations in 2002

while still acting as an athletic trainer before

moving into administration full-time in

2003. Two years ago, he was the

Tournament Manager for the NCAA Men's

Basketball Tournament First and Second

Rounds in Charlotte, overseeing the opera-

tions at a venue. Applegate is responsible

for managing the athletics department oper-

ating budget as well as the athletics facili-

ties.

The Southern Conference,which began its 87th seasonof intercollegiate competitionin 2007, is a national leader inemphasizing the develop-ment of the student-athleteand defining the league’s rolein helping to build lifelongleaders and role models.

The Southern Conference isthe nation’s fifth-oldest

NCAA Division I collegiate athletic association.Only the Big Ten (1896), the Missouri Valley(1907), the Pacific 10 (1915) and the SouthwesternAthletic (1920) conferences are older in terms oforigination.

The Southern Conference has also excelledas the premier Football ChampionshipSubdivision conference. Southern Conferencemember Appalachian State has won the last twoFootball Championship Subdivision titles. TheConference currently consists of 11 members infour states throughout the Southeast and spon-sors 19 varsity sports and championships thatproduce participants for NCAA Division IChampionships.

Academic excellence has been a major partof the Southern Conference’s tradition. Leagueathletes have been recognized countless times onVerizon/CoSIDA Academic All-America and dis-trict teams. A total of 19 Rhodes Scholarship win-ners have been selected from conference institu-tions.

The Southern Conference office is located inthe historic Beaumont Mill in Spartanburg, S.C. Atextile mill that was in operation from 1880 until1999, the Beaumont Mill was renovated in 2004and today offers the SoCon a first class meetingarea and offices as well as a spacious library forstorage of the conference’s historical documents.

memBership hisToryThe Southern Conference was formed on

February 25, 1921 at a meeting in Atlanta, Ga. as14 institutions from the 30-member SouthernIntercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA) reor-ganized as the Southern Conference. Those char-ter members included Alabama, Auburn,Clemson, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Kentucky,Maryland, Mississippi State, North Carolina,North Carolina State, Tennessee, Virginia, VirginiaTech and Washington & Lee. Athletic competitionbegan in the fall of 1921.

In 1922, six more schools - Florida, LSU,Mississippi, South Carolina, Tulane andVanderbilt - joined the fold. A year later, theUniversity of the South joined the ranks. VMIbecame a member in 1925 and Duke was added1929. Since then, conference membership hasexperienced a series of membership changes with42 institutions having been affiliated with theleague. The league has undergone two majortransitions during its history.

The first occurred in December 1932 whenthe Southeastern Conference was formed fromthe 23-school Southern Conference. The league’s13 members west and south of the AppalachianMountains reorganized to help reduce the exten-sive travel demands that were present in theleague at the time. In 1936, the SouthernConference invited The Citadel, William & Mary,

Davidson, Furman, Richmond and Wake Forestto join the membership.

The second major shift came about in 1953when Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina,North Carolina State, South Carolina and WakeForest withdrew from the league to form theAtlantic Coast Conference. This change wasbrought about due to the desire of many of thoseschools to schedule a greater number of regularseason basketball games against local rivals.

Today, the league continues to thrive with amembership that spans four Tennessee, NorthCarolina, South Carolina and Georgia. Currentleague members are Appalachian State, Collegeof Charleston, The Citadel, Davidson, Elon,Furman, Georgia Southern, UNC Greensboro,Chattanooga, Western Carolina and Wofford. OnJuly 1, 2008, Samford will officially join theleague, brining membership of the conference to12.

BaskeTBallMen’s basketball was the first sport in which

the conference produced a championship. Theleague tournament is the nation’s oldest, with theinaugural championship held in Atlanta in 1922.

Not only was the Southern ConferenceTournament the first of its kind, the league alsohelped change the face of college basketball. In1980, the league began a season-long experimentwith a 22-foot three-point field goal with theapproval of the NCAA Rules Committee. RonnieCarr of Western Carolina made the first three-point field goal in college basketball history in agame against Middle Tennessee State on Nov. 29,1980.

Another college basketball tradition thatoriginated in the SoCon is the traditional cuttingof the nets by the winning team. According toUSA Today, the practice of net cutting originatedin 1947 with North Carolina State head coachEverett Case. As a first-year head coach, Case ledthe Wolfpack to the SoCon Tournament title. Tocommemorate the event, Case celebrated byclaiming the nets as a souvenir of the win.

Basketball coaching legend Red Auerbachgives credit to former George Washington coachBill Reinhart, who coached in the SoCon for near-ly 30 years, as one of the originators of the mod-ern fast-break.

West Virginia’s 10 tournament champi-onships are still the most in league history. TheMountaineers were led by the incomparable JerryWest from 1958 through ’60. West, a two-time All-America selection, spurred West Virginia to theFinal Four in 1959. The Mountaineers lost in thechampionship game that season to California, 71-70, but West earned Final Four Most ValuablePlayer honors. West was a three-time SouthernConference tournament MVP, a two-time leagueregular season MVP, and was twice named theconference’s Athlete of the Year. He went on to aspectacular career with the Los Angeles Lakers ofthe National Basketball Association and wasinducted into the Naismith Memorial BasketballHall of Fame in 1979. He was a 14-time NBA All-Star while with the Lakers. It is West’s silhouette

that comprises the NBA’s globally recognizedlogo.

Frank Selvy set the NCAA record for pointsin a game while at Furman. As a Paladin senioron Feb. 13, 1954, Selvy scored 100 points in agame against Newberry, a record that still stands.Selvy was the Southern Conference MostValuable Player in 1953 and 1954 and the league’sAthlete of the Year in 1954. He went on to a 10-year career in the NBA.

Rod Hundley was another West Virginiastar during the 1950s. “Hot Rod” made a namefor himself as one of the most spectacular playersto tour the league during his era. Hundley aver-aged 24.5 points per game in his three seasons asa Mountaineer and was an all-conference and all-tournament performer in each of those threeyears. He was the Southern Conference MostValuable Player and Athlete-of-the-Year as a sen-ior in 1957. He was the first player selected in the1957 NBA draft and enjoyed a six-year career inthat league.

East TennesseeState’s Keith“Mister” Jenningsmade his mark onthe college basket-ball world in theearly 1990s. Despitestanding less than sixfeet tall, Jennings was atwo-time all-conference choice and the league’sPlayer of the Year and Athlete of the Year in 1991.Jennings played with the Golden State Warriorsof the NBA.

More recently, Western Carolina’s KevinMartin was a first round pick of the SacramentoKings in 2004. Martin was second in the nation inscoring as a junior at 24.9 points per game beforeleaving a year early for the NBA.

Besides West Virginia’s team in 1959, theSouthern Conference has been represented in theFinal Four on two other occasions. NorthCarolina advanced to the NCAA championshipgame in 1943 before falling 43-40 to OklahomaState. North Carolina State finished third in thetournament in 1950.

Women’s basketball competition began inthe Southern Conference in 1983-84 with seventeams. In the sport’s history, seven schools havewon the league’s tournament at least once withChattanooga winning 10 and Appalachian Stateowning six titles. UNC Greensboro won the 1998tournament as head coach Lynne Agee becamethe first coach to take a team to the NCAATournament in all three Divisions - I, II and III. In2001, Chattanooga head coach Wes Moorebecame the first coach in NCAA history to takethree different teams to the NCAA Tournament inall three Divisions.

Since 1984, seven different teams haveclaimed at least a share of the regular seasoncrown. Chattanooga has the most overall titleswith 12, six of them shared. Chattanooga ownsthe most outright championships with seven.Only three players have won the conferencePlayer of the Year award twice: East TennesseeState’s DeShawne Blocker in 1992-93 and 1994-95;Furman’s Jackie Smith, 1997-98 and 1998-99; andChattanooga’s Damita Bullock, who won theaward in 2000 and 2001.
