Davidson Wildcats

Head Coach: Bob McKillop. Current record 516-315. This is McKillop’s 28th season with the Wildcats and his only head coaching job. Often forgotten in the light of guys like Mark Few, McKillop’s tenure at Davidson has been impressive.

Best Former Player: Steph Curry. Maybe you’ve heard of him? The two-time reigning NBA MVP holds six NBA records. The former world champion is also a three-time All-Star and three-time All-NBA player. He currently has 11,088 points, 3,416 assists, and 2,129 rebounds in just 7 seasons in the NBA.

This Season: The Wildcats are 5-2 this season with wins over Arizona State and Missouri. They are 0-1 against the ACC with a 95-78 loss to Clemson in November. Davidson is averaging 74.3 points a game which is good for 170th in the nation.
