Davidson will be the Cinderella of this year's NCAA Tournament.

Led by Second Team All-American Stephen Curry and his 25.1 ppg, the Wildcats drew No. 7 seed, Gonzaga, in the first round. The Zags will struggle to contain Curry, and I believe Curry will lead Davidson to the win.

The second round is where it gets intriguing. Barring a retriever-sized upset, Davidson would then be pitted against the Georgetown Hoyas in the round of 32.

Roy Hibbert could cause problems for Davidson's defense, but the sophomore, Curry, has shown tremendous leadership skills and the ability to lead his team through tough times.

If you venture with me down memory lane, it was last year that this same Davidson team nearly upset the fourth-seeded Maryland Terrapins in the first round. Curry, scored 30 points, most of which while being guarded by defensive stalwart D.J. Strawberry.

The Wildcats return all of their starters from last season, with more experience and another conference championship under their belt.

It will be a tough road in this tournament for Davidson, but with a heaping helping of Curry, anything is possible.

mediocre article man. you really need to include more facts and more on your opinion. also, don't forget about Davidson's other players. don't just focus on curry.

and finally, please change the title. you've given it a repetitive and some-what childish name.

btw, fear the turtle. wait with me my Maryland brethrern for a couple more years so that they will be all seniors and juniors.

Gonzaga, St Mary's and the like of the WCC barely pulled through playing Santa Clara, I don't think it's much to say that they will get smoked in the first round unless they play top notch. The Zags however benefit from a better seed, but I still have them losing in the first round, 2nd at the latest. Bottom line, the conference is weak, and they've not been winning handily. It's not really adventurous to say that Davidson can easily dominate the Zags, especially near home.
