Monday night Davidson traveled up to Kansas and put a damper on things by shocking the #11 Jayhawks on their home floor, 80-74. The Davidson Wildcats haven't been in the national headlines that much since the Steph Curry stint a few years back but they sure did grab everyone's attention last night. Davidson head coach Bob McKillop, used boxing analogies to motivate his team in the pre-game and they followed up with a "champ like" performance. Their offense looked like a well oiled machine last night as they knocked down 11 three point field goals. They offset Kansas's superior athleticism with its scrappy play on defense and dropping in big buckets. "And down goes the Jayhawks" is what I can imagine Coach McKillop shouted out in his mind as he saw Nik Cochran's 3-pointer drop in during the closing minutes pushing the the then 3 point lead to 6 with a minute left. This wasn't just a one hit wonder team back in 07-08 with Steph but a culture being instilled by McKillop....keep swinging!!! They gave Duke a tough bout earlier this year at Cameron Indoor Stadium. I believe this team could upset a few more "powers" in the NCAA landscape this year. Remember I told ya!
....What the heck did we run into tonight?!!!
