-Great atmosphere last night. It was a "home" game for Davidson even though UNC fans outnumbered us by about 5 to 1. I think the entire Davidson student body was there.
-Charlotte Bobcats Arena is what the Charlotte Coliseum should've been 20 yrs. ago. Building that archaic dome far outside downtown was a dumb move that led to its annihilation (and contributed to the Hornets exodus). Bobcats Arena is pretty swank and is one of the reasons downtown Charlotte is booming.
-Curry is for real. Ginyard, Ellington and Frasor played tight D on him all night and he still found a way to get 24 pts. He shot horribly, but I think his wrist cast/wrapping threw him off, especially early on. He showed last night he can drive and score, and not just rely on the outside J.
-Wayne Ellington might end up being the most improved player from last year. He's much stronger, much more aggressive driving to the basket, and much smarter about which shots he takes.
-Roy did not coach a very good game IMO. Why no press? The only times they pressed, Davidson had trouble with it. I don't think UNC took advantage of their physical and athletic superiority enough.
-Bob McKillop had his team prepared mentally. They were excited but also composed. Tyler H. was not. He made a bone-headed foul, followed by a bone-headed shove for a T.
-Davidson plays really smart D - they communicate as well as just about any team does. Rarely does the help man not arrive in time.
-Carolina shot lights-out from the 3. When they learn to get the ball down low to their horses, they're going to get more good looks from outside. If Green and Frasor can shoot in the high 30s% from the arc, they will be dangerous. But they're not there yet - they have a ways to go.
-I was proud of my Cats but would be ecstatic if they took the next step and beat Duke there in a couple weeks.
