Has there been a time when the Kentucky Wildcats were picked to get upset in the first round more than people are choosing to take the Davidson Wildcats to shock the world tonight? I get it, Davidson is the sexy pick. They’ve won 11 of their last 13 games, including knocking off top-25 Rhode Island twice during that span, and a conference tournament championship.
Somehow, they’re still getting some favor in the hearts of neutral fans from their improbable run to the Elite 8 in 2008 when Steph Curry was scoring from everywhere on the floor. However, the Wildcats haven’t won an NCAA Tournament game since Curry left, have only been in the tournament three times since then, and Curry ain’t walking through that door tonight.
