1. The Georgetown Win was no fluke. Davidson didn't just get lucky against a sloppy Hoya team. They played Wisconsin strong, and ran away in the second half. They punched their legitimacy card tonight, and showed they were the real deal. This is no fluke, flash-in-the-pan team. Bill Self (or Jay Wright) better be paying attention.

2. Defense doesn't work. Georgetown and Wisconsin were two of the top 5 defenses in the NCAA this year, by almost any measure. Davidson, well, Stephen Curry, destroyed both teams.  Defense doesn't appear to work against these guys. If you are going to beat Davidson, you're going to have to score early, often, and maybe a bit in between.  Kansas can do this, but will they.  Can Villanova pull it off in the late game? Either way, it's going to be a heck of a showdown on Sunday.

Yeah, Davidson is definitely the real deal. Curry is a whale of a player right now; he's gotten like 3 games now with at least 30+ points. Amazing.
I predict it'll be KU-Davidson; the winner of that? I can't really say. I'm gonna take a safe bet and say KU, just b/c of what they've done this season and all. But, with this win tonight, I'm not going to be at all surprised if Davidson wins after all. I'll say one thing though; that would blow out my bracket for sure ;)

WOW What a stroke Curry has.  That is as pure of a shooter as I've seen in a long time.   As a bonus, he has a good supporting cast as well.  I can't believe one of the "big" schools didn't snag him.

Of course defense works.

 

Didnt you see what Davidson's D did to the Badgers?

Well put. Let me rephrase. Defense against Stephen Curry and Davidson does not appear to work. Thanks for the clarification.

1. I believe the same as you..Davison is a high quality team that will have a ligitimate shot agiants Kansas.. and if for some reason Villinova..a great shot..

2. Defense hasnt worked, however it should catch up on Curry. How much longer can Curry put up these kind of numbers and lead his team.  If Curry stumbles, can the rest of the team keep up and pace Kansas?  I think not.

Curry & Davidson's  defense kiled them. It'll have to take a guy like Kobe Bryant & Tracy Magrady to stop curry. Now Davidson has to take down either Kansas or Nova to get in the final four. Which won't be easy against a team like Kansas.

I think if you can shut Curry down, and make someone else beat you, they might have a chance against Davidson. I don't see that happening but it's a shot.

We learned that Stephen Curry is a great shooter... Defense does not look like it will stop him... But what are they going to do when they play a team that has a great offense? A team of UNCs calliber...

I wonder what the coaches (especially Virginia Tech) who overlooked Curry are thinking now. His little brother is just as good and is going to Liberty University!! You figure that since his father (Dell Curry) holds the record of most points and VT and that his mother played volleball there as well that they would have given Curry a scholarship. Where is the loyalty at VT?
