I did a little research because I wanted some insight on how tough we had to play. The is what I found.
"Davidson was picked third in the 2015-16 Atlantic 10 Preseason Poll, while the backcourt duo of Jack Gibbs (1st Team) and Brian Sullivan (2nd Team) were named preseason all-conference."
Well that was enough to let me know that our guys played hard. I'm really excited and can't wait to get on the road for the game! I don't care that it's not the regular season. I'll be there 'cause I'm ready for some Vol basketball! #GBO. #wewillwin18+
Yup, Davidson is a very quality team, a likely NCAAT team this season or at the worst a bubble team. Beating them this early in the year makes me very optimistic, Barnes will improve this team throughout the year and if we can stay healthy I feel very confident of my prediction that we would win at least 18 games this season. If he does that it should quiet a lot of those critics out there, would be a very good first season.
