That number

Got this in my inbox the other day: “What does the ‘16.8’ represent with respect to Davidson basketball? Just curious.”

In a word: hope.

In two words: a moment.

In three words: earned and experienced.

Allow me to quote Gus Johnson, CBS Sports, March 30, 2008, Ford Field, Detroit:

“Five to shoot!

“Collins!

“Three to shoot!

“Lets go!

“Off the front rim …

“No!

“And with 16.8 to go!

“DAVIDSON!

“WITH LIFE!”
