I love seeing Davidson win, went to high school with Jason Richards. He went to Barrington and was a freshman when I was a senior (his sister was also a senior, played at Iowa). It was fun watching him torch teams then, and starting a "he's a freshman" chant.

 

He was good then and he's good now. It's just eery to watch him on the national stage like this, again.

Hughes down.

 

Bohannon in. Personally I love what Bohannon does and think he makes good decisions with the ball and is an underrated driver and defender.

 

If hughes is down for the 2nd half the name Jarmusz may become important because that would be the next guard off the bench.

 

Lanky white guy, supposedly he can shoot lights out.

Stephen Curry is incredible. You've gotta think his NBA stock is soaring right now.

8 minutes left in the game and he has 29 pts on 10/20 shooting and 6/11 from 3 point land. This kid is SICK!

He is playing himself not only into the lottery, but into the top 10, if not 5.

Bo Ryan has never beaten a higher seed than a 9 in the tourney. You should never pick Wisconsin to play above their seed.

Good info there. I had a feeling that they would present some match up problems in their bracket, turns out to not be true.

To reach the Final Four, Kansas has to bulldoze a 16, an 8, a 12 and a 10.

 

A 10 for Davidson is just a number. They are playing the best ball of the tourney behind UNC and Kansas and maybe Texas.

Looks like I was right all along about the Big 10 and should have stuck to my guns. This Davidson group is a much better TEAM than I thought though. Curry is obviously amazing, but they force so many turnovers and have a lot of guys that make shots. Good luck to them dealing with Kansas though, not sure how that is going to go for them. :ph34r:

Didn't you claim that no Big Ten team would make it past the first weekend (at some point)?

Hes only a sophomore.

 

From what the ESPN analysts and other sites seem to indicate he isn't leaving for the NBA just yet.

Yeah, I doubt he leaves, shooting guards that are closer to 6-foot than 6'6" don't generally fair well in the draft.

I was just embarassed by that statement. Two teams made it to the Sweet 16, with one losing to a mid major double digit seed by 20 and the other down by 30 at halftime. They sure showed me!! I may have been wrong about the timing of the exits, but not about the garbage that is the teams.

 

And Curry isn't going anywhere, scouts don't like skinny 6'2 guards that can't play point, even if they are the best shooter in years like Curry is.

The big 11 needs to get more athletic and start playing basketball again. That UGLY grind it out all defense is not only painful to watch but it is a tough to style win with, when you do little to nothing on the offensive end. Mich. St. and Wisky were solid teams but with the lack of any real scoring, save a hot Neitzel here and there they got about as far as they could hope to have gone. The Davidson matchup should have been well within Wisconsin's skills though. They didn't use their massive low post mis- matches, and their vaunted dee was lit up. I argued with a buddy about Davidson being a top 25 team when UNC beat them in a close one to open the season, but elite 8 I didn't see.

 

Kansas looks as strong as ever, they are a load to deal with for any team, Davidson has more then their hands filled, but George Mason did take out the best team in the nation in the elite 8 by beating UCONN in their cinderella run to the 4, so who knows.

 

Congrats on a solid year to the Wisky fans!
