Davidson's women's basketball team has canceled the remainder of its season due to a significant number of injuries, despite starting the season with a program-best 12-1 record. The decision comes after having to forfeit games due to non-COVID health and safety protocols, leaving the team with only seven players for their recent Senior Night game. The Wildcats finish the season 18-10 and will not participate in the upcoming Atlantic-10 tournament, with the athletic director citing the physical, mental, and emotional toll of the injury-riddled season as the reason for the cancellation.
A person was killed in an industrial accident at Trane Technologies in Davidson, North Carolina. The incident occurred around 11:35 a.m., and the individual died at the scene from traumatic injuries. The cause of the accident is not yet clear, and Trane Technologies is cooperating with authorities in the ongoing investigation.
Poor shooting and defensive breakdowns plagued Maryland men's basketball in their 64-61 defeat against Davidson. The Terps shot just 35.1% from the field and struggled from beyond the arc, while Davidson capitalized on open looks and shot 42.9%. Maryland's offense lacked rhythm and struggled to find clean looks, relying on isolation plays and transition breaks. Despite a late comeback, a missed defensive assignment and missed free throws cost the Terps the game. Maryland's shooting struggles and defensive breakdowns have been prevalent in their first two games, raising concerns about their ability to score consistently.
LeBron James was once one of Steph Curry's earliest high-profile advocates, twice making an effort to come see him play for Davidson in person and displaying genuine appreciation for the scoring feats he witnessed. Curry and James exchanged phone numbers during that time, establishing a bond that has withstood four NBA Finals showdowns and their current clash in the Western Conference semifinals. Despite occasional jabs, James and Curry have mostly displayed mutual admiration toward one another.
