And Davidson's poise cannot be understated. Granted, their defense is average at best and size is a problem, but they never get overwhelmed and they never, ever, ever, ever give up.
They had timeouts left when they got the ball for that last possession. But McKillop trusts his sophomore captain, A-10 POY Kalinoski, as well as Sullivan. There was a big piece in the CHarlotte N & O a couple days ago about McKillop. It talked about how little he actually does during the game play, a stark contrast to some of these micro-managers in the NCAA today. They teach "principles, not plays". Gibbs, Sullivan and Kalinoski knew exactly what they needed to do.
