    What a college season

    WOW!! This Davidson team was fun to watch. It was like watching a movie it was laid out so good. And then that last shot fell off the mark. If that shot goes down I don't know if Kansas would ever recover. A sports novel might would have had them winning it all but you can't be disappointed with this story at all. I would have loved watching them play one more game too.

    This stuff is awesome. This ranks with, if not above, App St beating Michigan in Football. I think Davidson will have trouble getting the big D1 schools to schedule them now.

    Unbelievable.

    I appreciate your sentiment, but I can't go there. Davidson is more than a Cinderella. They're just flat out good & belong among the tall timber of D1 this year. None of us gave them the respect they deserved, but this team can play. Curry is oh so special...just a joy to watch.

    On the other hand, Appy played a top 5 ranked team at the 'Big House' & won. And football is a muscle game involving 50-60 men (including bench & special teams). They gave up 30+ pounds a position. That's one for the ages, don't you think?

    I do agree with that because football and basketball are so different. But what I really meant was that the excitement and awe of seeing them beat the big name schools and to win 3 in a row as the underdog. Especially as far as seeding goes. But I also agree that they should not have been such an underdog to start with. But if they had beat the number 1 seed Kansas that would have been even bigger than App beating Michigan. Kansas is the 2nd best team in the whole country in my opinion and they almost got em.

    I'm with you 100%. In fact, I'm convinced Kansas is UNC's Kryptonite. At least I hope so. I'm counting on that. Please dear Lord Please!! My life goes in the toilet when light blue flies high!

    Wildcats

    .... made this for me, one of the most exciting NCAA tournaments ever. It should really put them on the map, & help Coach Mac with his recruiting. Hate to see Richards graduate, he was a key for Curry.

    WoW!

    After the Kansas rout of UNC, it make me more proud of the Davidson Wildcats. I think they could have beat UNC and earned a trip to the final four. Just wasn't meant to be.

    Maybe

    When U have four #1 seats playing each other anything can happen. I believe NC would beat Kansas 3-5 times but not sure on Memphis. Davidson did not make many mistakes, had a great scorer, played great defense. They also had the main thing HEART!
