OT: Davidson hasn't skipped a beat after losing Grady. They just won their 13th straight with transfer help

[Smashcat]

of their own. Win-win.

Foster Loyer, Davidson​

You might remember Foster Loyer from his time at Michigan State, where he was a role player for three years for Tom Izzo. He never averaged more than 16.6 minutes, or 4.4 points, per game. So, understandably, he decided to transfer to a place that would give him a better opportunity. That place is Davidson. And Loyer is now among the biggest reasons why the Wildcats are off to a 12-2 start featuring a win over Alabama.


CBS Sports Bracketology Expert Jerry Palm has Davidson as a No. 11 seed in his latest bracket

So Bob McKillop's team is on track to make the NCAA Tournament for the fifth time in a 10-tournament span, thanks in part to the addition of Loyer, who is averaging 16.2 points and 3.3 assists in 27.6 minutes per game. The 6-foot guard is making 51.2% of the 6.3 3-pointers he's attempting per contest and reminding everybody that going to the biggest school isn't always preferable to enrolling at the school where you might fit best and flourish. -- Gary Parrish

Nice read. I am sure the committee will somehow have UK paired with Davidson, followed by Oscar having to play against WVU...

You know it. haha

Glad to have Grady. You just think every three he shoots is going to go in..

51.2% is scorching the nets.

Solid program.Well coached

 

[chroix]

I like it. They can do a great job preparing our grad transfers for us. Win win.

Quality programs are always bigger than one player.

Kellan is one of my favorite Cal players!

You can book those match-ups right now

Used to hate their old coach because he trashed UK on national TV. But he’s gone . EDIT : I thought he had retired but the old coot is still there .

what did he say

 

[yoshukai]

what did he say

We were getting ready to play them in the ncaa tournament and we were heavily favored . They were interviewing the Davidson coach and the interviewer suggested that Davidson might be a little more prepared for the game than other smaller schools because of they regularly play another blue blood school, North Carolina. He responded something like “I don’t put UK in the same category as North Carolina because theres never been a hint cheating or breaking NCAA rules at North Carolina and we all know Kentucky’s past history “ . Of course later we find out UNCheat had been cheating for decades.

 

[MakinMusic]

Good move for him. NC>Michigan. Never understood why anyone would choose to go to college in the frozen tundra, unless from those states. Nice in the summer but terrible winters.

don't forget we will play Rick and Iona also

This is the reverse for Kentucky. Wheeler, Toppin, Oscar, Grady, and Mintz are all exponentially better and more nationally recognized since they went to Kentucky.

Boy was he well informed…NOT

 

[ChaiseyD]

That coach for davidson is a hall of famer hard to believe he never wanted to coach at a UK ,PUKE ,or even ULSMELL

 

[LowCountryCat]

51.2% is scorching the nets.

He's only attempting 6.3 per game?

That's bad coaching.

He should shoot every possession.

 

[travisbickle]

We should officially make them one of our feeder schools.

what did he say

Actually it was their current coach. I thought the old bastard had retired !

 

[kritikalcat]

He’s been HC there since 1989, only collegiate head coaching job he’s ever held.

Decent school, strong athletics program for its size (not quite 2000 students, 1/4 of them play varsity sports). My niece is a freshman there and my cousin’s husband coached one of the Olympic sports teams there, later became HC at UNC.

 

[blackcat714]

don't forget we will play Rick and Iona also

Don’t leave out the Kansas rematch in final four and Duke title game.

 

[JonathanW]

13th straight, meaning they started the streak Curry's SR year, and continued it after he left as well

 

[Bluegrass79]

I love Grady but he can be slowed down shooting wise... Well at least in the SEC. I figure in the NCAA tournament Grady will be running loose like a madman. Teams won't be able to slow his shooting down like the best SEC teams have done last few games.
Honestly I believe him having to play point guard for those two games threw him off big-time. I'm sure he will come back around here soon
