Definitely the biggest upset so far. But Davidson does own the longest streak in the nation, played well vs. both UCLA and UNC, and has one college superstar in Curry, while Georgetown had been consistently inconsistent, so a lot of people did have them as a dark horse. Still, very impressed with the way they came back from 17 points 2nd half deficit.

The east region looks scary. 3 of the top 4 seeds are blowing teams out, and Tennessee beat a Butler team that could've easily advanced to Sweet 16 in any other region.

The refs again showed they were a waste as they put away the whistles in the last 5 minutes.

I did. Actually, in the WoKJ group, I have Davidson beating Wisconsin (my
home team). I guess I win either way there. :thumbsup:
Either way, I have Kansas beating the winner, so I like where I'm at right now.

I've been riding Davidson's jock all year, Curry is god. I also picked them over GTown in my bracket. :thumbsup:

WVU choked at the line. They should have had this game.

Pretty great Elite 8 shaping up... Xaiver-UCLA and UNC-Louisville(who look VERY impressive) should both be pretty interesting.

Well WKU made it interesting towards the end. I do think Saturday's games will both be close great games. I think Xavier can play with UCLA not sure if they can beat them. I also see Louisville upsetting North Carolina. Louisville plays great defense.

That's the problem. Once all the underdog schools are knocked out, all that's left are the same boring teams shown on ESPN a gazillion times during the season. It's boring to watch North Carolina because they're always on TV.

It's funny, you guys are not college basketball fans, you're bandwagon bracket junkies. I love college basketball, and I think this has been a great tourney, and I could care less if it's the 'high seeds' that make it.

So there! :sleep:

I think Davidson could make a run at the Final Four. I still don't think all four 1 seeds will make it. I bet at least two get knocked out, which two I don't know.

Well I like pulling for the underdog and love seeing them win. Not sure if that will happen this year unless Davidson can do it. I suppose if Xavier could win the National title that could be deemed as a surprise. I am not sure about Louisville as I think they have a great program and has been playing great basketball for the last month.

GO DAVIDSON

I have not been so into March Madness since two years ago, when George Mason (it was crazy around here) made it to the final four.

I hope they win the entire thing. What a story that would be.

It's not just Curry is god (he definitely is), but the whole offense flows so well. Wisconsin simply has no answer. When was the last time a major conference champion was down this much against a "mid-major" in the tournament?

And considering I lived about an hour away from Davidson for 5 years, this is the next best thing after Duke got knocked out.

If Curry could learn how to play point he'd be a top 5 draft pick. I wonder if he'll stay in college and try to do that.

I'm kind of dumb when it comes to this, but...

After tonight, how many teams are left? 8?

Yep. And two will go home tomorrow, then two more on Sunday.

Post Re: March Madness 2008
It makes me sad my home team of Wisconsin lost. However, it makes me
happy Davidson won and Texas will win, as I picked them both in my WoKJ
bracket at espn.com :thumbsup:

Curry is awesome.

Wow, after Davidson's win, I'm in the top 50000 at espn.com. Not bad with a
couple million brackets out there. Too bad I had Duke going to the final 4, I
might have had a chance at winning if Duke had made it.
