Davidson

I just saw they gave Duke a game today. This a few weeks after putting one helluva scare into UNC. Their only other loss so far is to Western Michigan, a game they probably shouldn't have lost but followed the UNC "thriller".

They've got UCLA this coming weekend. 3 games vs. top 10 opponents.

I would expect to see them in the dance this year if in fact they are for real and hope they could make some noise in tourney. I really don't know much about them though, other than seeing some of the UNC game and that they gave Duke a run.

Davidson is in a quaint little town north of Charlotte named Davidson. It is a small liberal arts school with a beautiful campus. If I'm not mistaken, Dell Curry's (ex Charlotte Hornet) son went there after getting limited scholarship opportunities from the "big boys" and he has really blossomed into a great player.

They were 29-5 last year and gave Maryland a scare in the tourney. Davidson led for most of the 1st and into the 2nd before Maryland took over and won by 12. If I recollect Davidson was in striking disatnce with a few minutes left but couldn't get shots to fall down the stretch. Curry is a stud (if you can call a skinny 175lb. kid a stud) and the team is legit.

Davidson has the best shot at winning the Southern Conference. There are only about 1500 students there and over 25% of them play D1 sports. You would think that Furman would be in the hunt, but it looks like Davidson is the best team.
