Happy Holidays from the QCSB

A little late with this, but Happy Holidays from the QCSB.  Every other blog has already beaten me to posting Christmas music videos, so I will hold off on posting them myself. My first blog post was on December 19, 2008, so this time of the year also marks the one-year anniversary of this blog.  [...]

Scott Fowler on a Roll

That’s right, I just said that.  We have gotten some actual journalism out of Scott Fowler the last couple of weeks.  He came out with a good piece a couple of weeks ago analyzing whether Julius Peppers was worth his salary.  After last week’s escape against Tampa, he noted how the Panthers are basically playing [...]

Droney Commits to Davidson

The Observer’s recruiting blogger is on vacation, so I thought I would post a little recruiting news.  Tom Droney, a highly-recruited guard from Pittsburgh, committed to Davidson this past week.  He chose Davidson over schools like Pitt, Notre Dame, Wake Forest, and Boston College.  Duke supposedly liked him too, but I don’t know if they [...]

Stephen the Rapper

I’m a little late with this, but I figured I should post it on this blog since it’s already been all over national sites like espn.com and si.com.  A “I Love College” remix Davidson style with a cameo from Stephen Curry and others from the basketball team.  My only qualm with the remix is that they [...]

ESPN on Andrew Lovedale

Anna Clemmons tells the Andrew Lovedale Story on espn.com.  Pretty compelling.

Can’t Blame Curry

OK, this is the second time in a month that I have had to apologize for my late posts.  It turns out that the final sprint in my law school career was long and hectic, but it is finally over.  Hopefully this will be the last time I will have to apologize for not posting, [...]

Decision Tomorrow

Steph has scheduled a press conference tomorrow at 11:30.  The crazy part about is that he doesn’t seem to have actually made a decision yet!  I have been quite busy the last couple of weeks, so follow 16.8 for updates on the story.  I will try to post my thoughts on his decision as soon [...]

Curry Still Thinking, Decision Coming Soon

The Observer reports that Stephen Curry’s decision whether to turn pro or stay for his senior year at Davidson should be coming pretty soon.  This is not surprising considering Sunday is the deadline to decide.  The interesting part is that Dell Curry was adamant that Steph is still pondering the decision and that he has not [...]

An Open Letter to Stephen Curry

Please stay.  Sure, I’m asking as a Davidson fan and alum, but I know that many college basketball fans around the country share my sentiments.  Let me just go ahead and get the basic reasons why you should stay out of the way – reasons that you’ve likely already heard and taken into consideration.  You’ve [...]

Seth Curry is Dead to Me

Just kidding.  He is transferring to Duke.  Supposedly, Coach K made a pitch that Seth couldn’t refuse.  I was pretty surprised when I found out.  I think the speculation floating around was that he would go to a solid ACC program like a Clemson or Wake Forest (which really could have used a shooter against Cleveland [...]

Davidson Assistant Matheny Takes the Reins at Elon

Davidson Associate Head Coach Matt Matheny was named Elon’s new head coach on Sunday.  Kind of an interesting move.  I thought he would have stayed a little longer until he could find a better program, but I understand the lure of wanting to be a head coach.  Plus, it’s not like he can’t be competitive [...]

2010 SoCon Tourney in Charlotte?

The Charlotte Observer reports that the Southern Conference, Davidson, and Time Warner Cable Arena officials are discussing moving the 2010 SoCon tournament from Chattanooga to Charlotte.  This move makes a lot of sense and needs to happen, at least for 2010 and hopefully for many more years in the future.  Let’s be honest, the Chattanooga idea [...]

St. Mary’s Thoughts

A couple of days late on this recap.  There’s been a lot going on with Charlotte sports (look out for a flurry of posts/rants).  Monday night’s game was basically a reflection of this season’s storyline, and the box score shows it.  Only one player other than Stephen Curry scored in double digits, and that was [...]

Seth Curry Leaving Liberty

Seth Curry, Stephen’s little brother who led all freshman in scoring this past season, is transferring after one year at Liberty.  I have always been dumbfounded that no big schools recruited this kid.  It is at least understandable why everyone missed on Stephen, but one would think that Stephen’s performance at Davidson would have led [...]

Late Night with Davidson

Like I have previously said, I don’t know any St. Mary’s fans or know much about them myself.  I only know that they play Davidson tonight at 11:30 on ESPN2.  So, there is no elaborate preview this week.  Instead, I’ll just answer my own questions: Am I excited about seeing Patty Mills tonight?  Yes.  I [...]

Toronto Raptors are the Davidson of the NBA

Chris Bosh scored 35, Andrea Bargnani added 27, and the rest of the Raptors didn’t show up.  Bosh and Bargnani scored 62 of the Raptors’ 89 points last night.  That’s right, the other 10 guys on the Raptors roster combined for 27 points.  I don’t follow the Raptors on a nightly basis, but I get [...]

Davidson in NIT Tonight

I wasn’t going to write much about Davidson in the NIT.  Let me first acknowledge that it’s very impressive that Davidson has played in the postseason now for five straight seasons.  To appreciate that, you have to understand the obstacles Davidson faces because it plays in a mid-major conference.  There were only four at-large bids given this year [...]

Ben-Eze Update

Frank Ben-Eze suffered a torn ligament in the SoCon tourney loss to CofC.  Davidson has pretty much kept its lips sealed about the injury.  It issued a very short and vague statement.  We don’t know which ligament was torn.  He certainly won’t be playing in the NIT first round game at South Carolina on Tuesday night, but [...]

The Numbers Show Davidson’s Reliance on Curry

I put together a quick table of all of Davidson’s games this season which shows the points Stephen Curry scored each game and the total points Davidson scored each game.  Of course there are exceptions, especially when Davidson either played really good or really bad teams, but Davidson usually put up a lot of points [...]

Yup, it’s March Madness

Wow, CofC got smoked by Chattanooga.  Ignore my bracket advice in the last entry.  Kudos to Bracketology for getting it right.  I thought it was bold of Joe Lunardi to pick them over CofC, but he was obviously on to something.  I still stand by my observation that CofC looked very good yesterday, good enough to [...]
