Please don't shoot us out of the building again.

I think the "P5" teams can handle Davidson better than average because their rosters are better than average. As Davidson keeps running defenders in circles, the big programs can swap out guys and keep fresher. Schmidt won't be doing that, and our guys will be facing a growing level of exhaustion as the 2nd half ticks on. I can't say I've studied Davidson, but I have noticed in their games I've watched over the past couple of years that they often fall behind early and then keep running around until they can chip away and overtake the opponent. That's what they did to us in the 2016 A10 tourney game.It’s hard to out-athlete these Davidson teams but P5 (yuck) teams seem to do it well.
I’ve said it before here and elsewhere, but I can’t stand Davidson. A10 brethren be damned; they’re Bona killers. Schmidt’s teams struggle with that motion offense unless someone on the opposing team goes Gibbs mode and shoots them out of it OR we run with them like Jay/Mobe/Court did in 2018.

Gibbs can be obnoxious, and he will make every attempt to get into Kyle's head. It's up to Kyle to control himself after Gibbs hits a big 3 right in his face.
Also, McKillop's screen's are akin to SLU/VCU physical play in that they do it constantly, and the refs give up calling it unless it is truly egregious.
Got me, but you're getting old too ("up yours 79").Do you mean Grady, rather than Gibbs, who graduated in 2017? I sure hope Gibbs doesn't take the court Sunday.
