How significant was the 2007-08 season for the Davidson basketball program?

Just look at how expectations changed from November to March for the Wildcats. Coach Bob McKillop and his players probably would have been thrilled with a prediction in the preseason that they'd be in the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament.

If you asked them on March 30, when they fell by two points to Kansas, you'd get a different reaction. The Wildcats would have to think of how close they came to upsetting Kansas and becoming the first No. 10 seed to advance to the Final Four. At some point, they'll look back and realize what an accomplishment this season was, with a regular-season Southern Conference title, the conference tournament crown and the run to the Elite Eight in which the Wildcats knocked off three regular-season conference champions along the way.

But with the ball and down two with 16 seconds to play, the Wildcats certainly had a fantastic opportunity to continue their run into the Final Four. Instead, Jason Richards' last shot at Davidson -- a long-distance 3 put up just before the buzzer -- missed and Davidson's dream of a Final Four was over.

Still, the Wildcats became the nation's darlings in their surprising run, and they'll certainly command much more respect in the coming years. The biggest question for the Davidson program is whether Stephen Curry will be back for his junior season. Curry will get a lot of advice, but as much as he enjoyed this season, it's hard to believe he'd want to leave Davidson before he has to, especially with the program enjoying a new level of success.

I read one post and then another confirming it saying that Frank Ben-Eze has committed to Davidson.  I've seen him listed as 6'10" or even 6'11" on some sites.  If all goes well, he will be the big post presence that Davidson has sometimes lacked in the past.

Anybody have any ideas about next year's starting lineup? I have been thinking about in the past week and I figure that the locks for the starting lineup are Stephen Curry, Andrew Lovedale, Max Paulus Gosselin, and Stephen Rossieter. That will give us a pretty big front line. The question then becomes who runs the point? If this role is given to Curry, I would expect Bryant Barr (The White Lob ...(more)

Hey guys, I'm trying to set up a sim league starting next season, where a simulator plays out the game and gives you realistic scores and stuff, and your Wildcats are still available! If you are interested or have any questions feel free to e-mail me at dosegorillaz@aim.com.

He shows that he is easily one of the top 5 players in the country, and then instead of goin pro right away, he sets a good example and says he'll stay for his junior year. I really look up to Stephon Curry.

Bob McKillop was on sports radio in Raleigh yesterday. He talked for maybe 15 minutes. He was asked if he would commit to coming back to Davidson next year or whether there were any positions he would be interested. In a very coy answer he said that the Governor's position in New York was open along with some Vice-Presidential positions. He never directly answered the question which worries me ...(more)

Stephen Curry has gotten a lot of credit for leading the Wildcats to the Elite Eight, but we Wildcat fans know that Bob McKillop is just as responsible. His record at Davidson is legendary. It is great to see the NABC recognize this and honor one of the games greatest coaches.

So many were pulling for a Davidson win over Kansas, including me.

It was easy to get behind such an amazingly talented team, who played the underdog for each tournament game.

Sorry for your loss.

Curry's a future NBA star.

I really like Stephen Curry, and love that he is satying at Davidson for at least one more year, but wouldn't it be for the best if he went to the NBA right away?
