The Great Ricky Davison Mystery

In the 2009-2010 season, guard Ricky Davison had the single hottest 3-point shooting season in Little Rock history. He was a sizzling 36 of 70 (51.4%) from the arc. (The closest anyone else has come was Nick Zachery in 2000-01 at 46.6%.) Davison only started seven games that year, averaging 14.8 minutes per game. While he was in there, however, he made his shots at a torid rate.

What is curious is that the next year Davison did not return. That seems strange: the best shooting in school history, and there was not a curtain call. He played for North Alabama the next season, where he was First Team All-Conference and averaged 16.5 points per game. Probably we will never know why he did not return, but those of us who were fans during that season will not soon forget it.
