Underwood Says Davon Dillard is ‘Country Strong,’ Can Be Elite Defender

One of the more enjoyable parts (for myself) of the last couple of weeks watching Cowboy basketball — other than finally winning — has been the mini renaissance of Davon Dillard. The freaky athlete a lot of has had labeled as a “what-if” is quickly changing the narrative to “what else?”

In 16 minutes against TCU, the bullish sophomore chipped in for 10 points (3-7, 1-2 from 3), three rebounds and played some tough-nosed defense.

“He was terrific,” said Brad Underood. “He didn’t do anything that wasn’t in our goals or our plans. He’s got the ability to be an elite defender because he’s so ‘country strong’ and he’s got quick feet.
