Davidson

Davidson Wildcats

Southern Conference (26-6, 20-0)

 

Big Wins: 2/13 at UNC Greensboro (83-78), 2/22 at Winthrop 60-47), 3/1 at Georgia Southern (89-69)

Yes (they've won 18 games in a row)

No (they still haven't beaten a Top 100 team)

Maybe, just maybe this whole “Seven Day Stretch” curse thing works in reverse, too. It seems that for the past several weeks, anything positive I have written about a team has proven to be the “kiss of death”. So it goes that anything negative I’ve written just might kick start a team. Last week I positioned Oklahoma State coach Sean Sutton on the hot seat, specifically for not winning a Big 12 Conference road game in more than a year. The Cowboys then proceeded to go out and beat Texas A&M in College Station.

Siegel Thoughts: Day One Review

- All the talk all season about how Greg Paulus was the problem for Duke.. and suddenly he's the only guy keeping him in the game. What was odd about his 25 point effort is how many times he got into the lane.. and if he just had that killer scorers instinct down low, he probably could have had a half dozen more.

- VCU's Eric Maynor (22 points) picked up where he left off in the CAA Finals when he had 20, 7, and 4 assists.
