1st) After the davies debacle the honor code office stopped releases the reason for discipline. The teams started calling it violation of team rules.
2nd) Do people not remember we were going to be a 1 seed until Davies was suspended and we lost the very next game along with another in the mwc championship
As a one seed we’d have a good chance at the title BY DEFINITION lol. How could one think otherwise. True Davies wasn’t a world beater, but he was good and helped teams stay honest. Without out him in the post we were one dimensional and teams could load up on the outside. And even though we were one dimensional we were STILL a point away from the elite 8. Without Davies the load was all on Fredette and he ran out of gas in that game.
