NCAA Notebook: Davidson Doesn't Fear Georgetown Combined Wire Services
March 23, 2008
Stephen Curry was asked which of Davidson's opponents played the most physical defense.
"I'd say UCLA," Curry said.
There weren't many cupcakes on Davidson's non-Southern Conference schedule, which featured No. 1 seeds North Carolina and UCLA and No. 2 seed Duke.
The Wildcats (27-6) didn't beat any of them, losing by an average of seven points. But coach Bob McKillop's team gained a measure of confidence simply by hanging tough. Now, he hopes it pays off today against 7-foot-2 Roy Hibbert and Georgetown in Raleigh, N.C.
"I'd be foolish not to allude to the fact that our guys have played against [UCLA's] Kevin Love and [North Carolina's] Tyler Hansbrough. ... not that we did anything extraordinary against them, but we hung in there," McKillop said. "We came out on a losing end, but we learned some valuable lessons."
