The Davidson Wildcats are the intercollegiate athletics teams representing Davidson College of Davidson, North Carolina, United States. The Wildcats compete at the NCAA Division I level as members of the Atlantic 10 Conference for most sports. The Wildcats joined the A-10 on July 1, 2014, restoring a Charlotte-area presence to that conference after the Charlotte 49ers rejoined Conference USA in 2013. The Wildcats previously competed in the Southern Conference, and retain associate membership in that league for wrestling.
A member of the Atlantic 10 Conference, Davidson College sponsors teams in eleven men's and ten women's NCAA sanctioned sports:
Bowl Games
Davidson's basketball team first reached considerable success in the 1960s under Coach Lefty Driesell, when Sports Illustrated ranked it No. 1 in the country prior to the 1964–65 season.
The Wildcat men have competed in 11 NCAA tournaments (1966, 1968–70, 1986, 1998, 2002, 2006–08, and 2012). Their last tournament victory was in 2008 over Wisconsin Badgers men's basketball in the third round of the 2008 NCAA Tournament. With that victory, the Wildcats advanced to the Elite Eight where they lost to the eventual champion Kansas Jayhawks 59–57, capping off an incredible run that saw the rise of Stephen Curry to national prominence. The Wildcats' NCAA Tournament run came after finishing their regular season undefeated in conference play, at 20–0, and as the champions of the Southern Conference Tournament. Curry led the nation in scoring in 2008–09, his last season at Davidson before declaring for the 2009 NBA Draft.
