Season Record 2-0 
Davidson +5.5
De'Mon Brooks (15.7 ppg, 6.2 rpg) and Jake Cohen (14.3 ppg, 6.1 rpg) lead the very talented frontcourt of Davidson which returns its eight top scores and rebounders from a NCAA tourney contender last season that nearly upset Louisville.
"We're very lucky that guys play as a team," Wildcats Head Coach Bob McKillop said. "We have four seniors now who have extensive experience. They all four can score for us, so when you have four guys who are your senior leaders and can all score, yet are still unselfish, you have a foundation for a pretty good team."
Among those veteran returners are 3 members of the backcourt, each averaging double digit points per game last season. But, look for New Mexico to be overwhelmed especially in the trenches, where the Wildcats hold a distinctive edge.
Davidson will need to slow down Kendall Williams, the Lobos leading scorer and All-conference Freshman Honoree last season. Williams however is traditionally a slow-starter in November and won't be in mid-season form.
The Lobos have a lot to prove losing Mr. Double-Double post man Drew Gordon (13.7 ppg, 11.1 rpg), the Mountain West tournament MVP, and forward A.J. Har-deman (4.6 ppg, 3.4 rpg) a lock-down defender, to graduation.
Davidson will be more than the Lobos had bargained for. Look for Davidson to control the battle in the paint and dominate the rebounding numbers in this game. Take the 5.5 points.
