Davidson vs Richmond Game Preview, Atlantic 10 Championship How To Watch
Foster Loyer named Second-Team All-Conference for Davidson
If you are anything like me, you want to see former Michigan State basketball players who moved to another school succeed, and we’ve got to see that in a great way this season with Foster Loyer, who transferred to the Atlantic 10 Conference’s Davidson this year.
On Tuesday, it was announced that Loyer was named to the Second-Team All-Conference team thanks to an insane season where he led the country in free throw percentage with 93.6-percent and was third in the country in three-point percentage with 45-percent. He averaged 16.9 points per game.
Nates Oats & Co. have a new opponent set for Tuesday.
Nate Oats and the No. 6 ranked Crimson Tide will no longer be facing Colorado State this upcoming Tuesday, Dec. 21. The Rams announced yesterday the program would not be traveling to Birmingham to face the Crimson Tide due to the public health recommendations regarding COVID.
On short notice, Alabama was tasked with finding a new opponent for the C.M. Newton Classic in Legacy arena at the BJCC in Birmingham.
Today, the program announced a new opponent: Davidson.
The Wildcats are currently 8-2 with losses to San Francisco and New Mexico State. The Crimson Tide will be the toughest game Davidson will have played to date, and will more than likely be the highest-ranked team the program will face all season.
Alabama will face Jacksonville State at home tonight before heading to Birmingham. The Crimson Tide are the 8-2 following a devastating loss to the team’s most recent opponent, Memphis, on the road.
Roll Tide Wire will continue to follow Alabama men’s basketball as the season progresses.

At the end of the day, it was the right time for Foster Loyer and Thomas Kithier to leave Michigan State. Now, both players are able to play a more sizeable role for their new teams. Kithier is at Valparaiso and Loyer is now at Davidson and both players thrived in their debut on Tuesday night for their respective teams.
Loyer scored 27 points and shot 6-for-6 on this threes in a victory for Davidson over Delaware.
Kithier led Valparaiso in scoring with 16 points to go along with 5 rebounds, 2 assists, a steal and a block.
Carolina Panthers safety Jeremy Chinn represented Steph Curry by wearing his college Davidson jersey before the season opener against the New York Jets.
On Sunday, most of the sports world turned their attention to the gridiron for the long-awaited week one of the 2021 NFL season. Before kickoff, one player represented Steph Curry on his way to the stadium.
When arriving at Bank of America Stadium, Carolina Panthers safety Jeremy Chinn donned Curry’s red Davidson jersey from his college days.
Curry’s pregame call provided the Panthers some good luck. Behind 187 total yards from Christian McCaffrey, the Panthers were able to survive a late comeback attempt from rookie passer Zach Wilson and the New York Jets, 19-14.
Chinn recorded four solo tackles and a pass deflection in Sunday’s win over the Jets.
Next Sunday, the Panthers will meet Jameis Winston and the New Orleans Saints in Carolina. With the NBA offseason still underway, the Golden State Warriors All-Star point guard will likely be watching.
In 2009, Davidson’s Stephen Curry tallied 14 points on 7-of-12 shooting with seven assists and four steals in his NBA debut against the Rockets.
Although it’s not the anniversary of a championship or memorable performance, October 28 will mark the arrival of the Golden State Warriors’ future two-time Most Valuable Player.

Surprisingly the sharpshooting prospect only pulled up from beyond the arc once in his debut, missing his lone long-distance attempt.

Although they won’t be taking a trip to the NBA playoffs or preparing for another Finals appearance, there is still one important event approaching the Golden State Warriors. For the first time in years, the Warriors will have the opportunity to make a selection in the NBA draft’s first five picks.
With Golden State’s season over, and no basketball on the calendar yet, Warriors Wire is rewinding back through the history of the Warriors. Memorable moments, matchups worthy of a rewatch and standout performances have been the primary focus of Warriors Rewind. However, with the draft approaching, Warriors Wire is highlighting some of Golden State’s best draft day selections.
In 2007, the Golden State Warriors drafted a player that changed the state of basketball in the Bay Area.
June 25, 2007
The 2007 edition of the NBA draft kicked off with Los Angeles Clippers selecting Oklahoma’s Blake Griffin. The Memphis Grizzlies picked Connecticut’s Hasheem Thabeet and Oklahoma City followed by taking James Harden. Fast forward to the No. 5 overall selection, and the Minnesota Timberwolves were on the clock.
In an unprecedented move, the Timberwolves selected back-to-back point guard prospects. However, neither of them were a point guard from Davidson.
Minnesota landed with Spain’s Ricky Rubio and Syracuse’s Jonny Flynn. With the Warriors on the clock, Golden State general manager Larry Riley selected Stephen Curry with the No. 7 overall pick.
Coming off a blistering performance in the NCAA tournament, Curry averaged 28.6 points on 45.4% shooting from the field in his junior season at Davidson. The point guard prospect added 5.6 assists and 4.4 rebounds per game. Over his career with the Wildcats, Curry netted 41.7% from beyond the arc.
With eyes for Curry and New York next on the clock, Knicks fans in attendance filled Madison Square Garden with boos after NBA commissioner David Stern announced Golden State’s choice.
Watch the moment the Golden State Warriors drafted Curry via YouTube:
After starting out his career averaging 17.5 points on 46.2% shooting with 5.9 assists and 4.5 rebounds per game in his rookie season โ the rest is history. Championships, Most Valuable Player awards and a flurry of 3-pointers all started with Golden State’s franchise-altering selection in 2009.
