DAVIDSON, N.C. -- Coming off an 82-58 victory over Lenoir-Rhyne in their only exhibition of the preseason slate, the Wildcats will begin the 100th season of Davidson men's basketball with an 8 p.m. tip-off against Emory, Friday at John M. Belk Arena.
In Wednesday evening's affair with the Bears, Davidson's Boris Meno led all scorers with 21 points, and Jason Richards just missed a triple-double with 16 points, nine rebounds and nine assists. Stephen Curry, last year's Southern Conference Freshman of the Year and Tournament MVP, also reached double figures with 13 points in 23 minutes of action.
The Wildcats return all five starters and 11 letterwinners from last year's SoCon Tournament champions that finished the 2006-07 campaign with a school-record 29 wins. Last season's trip to the NCAA Tournament was the second straight, ninth overall and fourth under Head Coach Bob McKillop, who is the all-time winningest coach in Davidson and SoCon history with a career mark of 311-218.
Along with the 2007-08 campaign being the 100th Anniversary season, Davidson begins it 19th year in Belk Arena tomorrow evening, having won each of the past 15 home openers after losing the first three.
Curry, Richards and Thomas Sander have been named to the 2007-08 Preseason All-SoCon team, while the Wildcats were the unanimous selection to win the South Division title as voted on by the 11 league head coaches. As well as being named to the preseason squad, Curry was tabbed the conference's Preseason Player of the Year.
The Eagles are coached by former Wildcat standouts Jason Zimmerman (1990-94) and Matt McKillop (2002-06), who are both in their first season as head and assistant coach, respectively.
