Davidson Official Pregame thread

[Shockeriffic]

The UNC game showed they can be dangerous but they play no defense at all. Over half their opponents score 80 on them. Even Stetson managed to do that.

Davidson will be a tough game

I can agree with that, I don't think this will go in the "good win" category. But this team can be dangerous.

Do we have a "good win" left on our schedule. I can't really think of one. We have a lot that fall in the category of "bad loss" though (how about the entire Valley schedule). Oh well, we'll just have to keep winning.

They'll all be good.

Ugh, I was thinking the same thing last night. The projection models give ISUb a ~10% chance of being in the RPI top 50 and MSU an ~8% chance. It would be great if one of those two teams could catch fire in league play (except against us) and roll out 13+ wins.

Like you said, we just gotta win.


Davidson prediction: Gary Thompson 87, Lefty Driesell 65

When it went to OT, I knew UNC would get the best of Davidson. There was just nothing left in the tank for the Wildcats.

Looking forward to a well-coached and well-played game on both ends.

I think this may be somewhat misleading as they lost their top big man and preseason conference player of the year for the six games before UNC, he had a big game against the Tar Heels, and fouled out just before overtime (surprise surprise, NC ran away with it in ot).

Well they be tougher than NCC? Hard to say. But I'm willing to bet they are a lot tougher now, and will likely have a better rpi at the end of the year.

Also heard they are going to the a-10 next year. That will be a good move for them. Wish we could do something similar.

Good point. His name is De'Mon Brooks who is the team's leading scorer (16ppg). And like you said, he's missed 6 games this year due to injuries. Regardless, at home, this is a 10 to 20 point margin of victory.

Comparative Stats from StatSheet

[forevershockerfan]

Here's The deal. Last Season, there was this player, #32 named Cotton that got a chance to be a starter rather than a key sub. If my lil pea brain seves me correctly, Tekele had some early SEASON nagging injuries but played through them. Cotton made the very best of his opportunity to shine and just keeps getting better. Now as we fast forward to last night, Darius got a similar opportunity and nonchalantly answered the bell, and made it toll to the tune of a game high of 19 smackers and 5 rebounds. The emergence of Mr. Carter gives us a very talented starting 5 in which all but Cle will be back next Season. With that said, Kadeem and CJ will still get plently of looks and I see improvement from all 3 of these players. I predict Wiggins will score 11 points off the bench and Cle will score 22 because he is always Early in big games.

Shockers 70

Little bro should have gone there instead of Duke--74

Maybe they throw their press at us like they did a few years ago.

Yeah, the press we carved up like a turkey on thanksgiving.

We've enjoyed the Twelve Days (wins) of Christmas and now I believe Ron Baker is going to explode to complete the Baker's Dozen for 2013 (13 for '13).
