WFNZ in Charlotte interview

Interview0 Comments

McKillop talks about Davidson making the NCAA Tournament:

It’s very reminiscent of the ’05-’06 team and the ’01-’02 team, because it’s senior-heavy with a lot of experience in the senior class and guys who have been through some battles. What’s really gratifying about this year is that there were such expectations on their shoulders, and they never as a team, as a roster, have had to deal with those kind of expectations. When we got knocked to the mat early … they started to do some soul-searching and questioning and doubting. … But right after Christmas they came back determined and united and I think we’ve been on a pretty good roll since Christmas.

McKillop discusses the advantages of his players staying all four years in college:

The reason the landscape of college athletics is so level right now is because programs at the mid-major level are keeping guys around for four years. That maturity, that experience, you put a team out on the court that has 21-, 22-, 23-year-old men on the court and they’re going against these hot-shot 18-year-olds. Invariably, there’s going to be the mental maturity that three, four, five years extra provides. That’s why Virginia Commonwealth, that’s why Butler, that’s why George Mason, that’s why we’ve done the things we’ve done the last six years.

Curry comments on staying at Davidson for an additional season:

I’m 53% staying, 47% going right now. Just getting closer to the meeting with my parents.  I had my first meeting with coach yesterday and he was pumped.  Apparently they’re trying to get the Southern Conference tournament moved to my hometown in Charlotte next year.  That was a nice little kicker.
