Wow, nobody wants to face the top seeds? I want to be able to say we beat the top rated teams. Irregardless of how good Davidson has played, if KU wins tonight and beats Davidson on Sunday, the media will pull the "they had it easy" crap.

The only thing I got right in my bracket this year was the implosion of the bottom half of Kansas' region. I knew Wisconsin and Georgetown wouldn't make it to the EE, I just didn't know who would make it.

This place is so predictable. If Kansas wins tonight and Sunday the true anti-Jayhawks will go from "scoreboard, bitch!" to "Kansas had it easy not having to play the teams that lost early in the tournament".

Some people thought Georgetown was the strongest team in the region, and Wisconsin was playing very well before today and could have been a #2 seed (come on, Duke?).

You can have a bad shooting night or be a step slow against a Big 11 or Big Least team, because they are a bad shooting night and a step slow. I'm not saying Davidson has the best players in the nation, but you better show up on both sides of the ball because they'll out-hustle you all night.

Curry's 101 points he's scored in the tournament (which is already ridiculous), 75 of them have come in the second half.

Oh come on, don't get pissy just because your team is going to get laughed at for having the easiest route to the Final Four in history.

Who gives a crap what others say, because in the end Kansas will get to prove what kind of team they really are... If they get out of the region I'd be very surprised if UNC isn't waiting; and after that another 1 or 2 seed.

Eh... it's just like football season. If you want everyone to StFU, win your last game.

Why would they get laughed at?

Oh wait, because Lew Perkins sucked off the entire Georgetown and Wisconsin teams at halftime of each Davidson game.

That guy really wants to win.

I said in the beginning that the Midwest could be the toughest region. with all these upsets, I would say I was accurate. The media calling it easy is just the easy way for them to explain it away rather than giving these teams the credit the obviously deserve.

eazyb81 03-28-2008 07:25 PM

How in the hell is Davidson a D1 team? They have 1500 students.

tk13 03-28-2008 07:25 PM

Well, I'd pick KU over Davidson. But at this point, Davidson has proved it can play right with UNC, Duke, and UCLA, and have played out of their minds in the tournament. It could be a blowout, but so could any other game.... there's really no reason to think they can't hang with anybody that's left.

Well, I looked it up, and Kansas will not break the all-time record for easiest (on paper) path to the final four. The best they could hope for would be the 3rd-easiest path of all time, and the easiest in 7 years.

Michigan State holds the record for easiest path to the final four, set back in 2001. Before falling to Arizona in the final four, they defeated a 16 (Alabama State), 9 (Fresno State), 12 (Gonzaga), and 11 seed (Temple)

We have 2 teams tied for 2nd-easiest path:

The 1990 NCAA champion UNLV Running Rebels made it to the final four before winning it all by defeating a 16 (Ark. Little Rock), 8 (Ohio State), 12 (Ball State), and 11 seed (Loyola Marymount).

North Carolina also had an easier time in 1991 before losing to Kansas in the final four by defeating a 16 (Northeastern), 9 (Villanova), 12 (Eastern Michigan), and 10 seed (Temple).
