Deadspin
And now the Davidson Wildcats are all that stands in the way of an all 1-seed Final Four. If they, and we've been assured all day they are not just Stephen Curry, can deal Bill Self another regional final loss, they will be the first 10 seed to make the Final Four.
We know Davidson is exhausting its endowment to bus their students in free. Will Lebron be joining them? So what if the Cavs have a game an hour after tip-off? The Jayhawks did a number on 'Nova's Scott Reynolds Friday, can they contain the tiny juggernaut?
-Davidson with the first score and it wasn't Curry! See, not a one-man team!
-5 minutes into the game and we're still knotted at 2. Okay, Kansas scored. That should hold them for four minutes or so.
-Davidson with a quick surge to go up 9-6 about 8 and a half minutes in, but Darnell Jackson pounces on a mishandled rebound to get to the stripe.
-Hey, Stephen Curry has decided to put up some points. Maybe this game won't be the dregs.
-Tied at 23, Curry with 12 and aside from part of the second half of UNC-Louisville, we have a good game on our hands.
-After a sluggish first eight minutes or so, that tempo picked up considerably. Gus Johnson didn't like being subdued anyway. Kansas holds a narrow 30-28 lead at half. And Kansas is "holding" Curry to 15.
-Naturally, Billy Packer spent the end of the Texas-Memphis game talking about how Davidson couldn't possibly hang with Kansas. Choke on your own coprolite, Billy.
-Halftime question to Tyler Hansbrough: "Why do you play so hard every possession?" Can I still live blog with an 'SPLODED head? Time will tell...
-Stephen Curry has the first five points of the second half for Davidson. He shakes Rush for a three to bring his tally to 20.
-Kansas up 43-37 going to the line, seem to have reined in the careless turnovers and now have Davidson starting to get forced into taking some poor shots.
-Lovedale's turnaround jumper to give the Wildcats the lead is answered with a Kansas turnover. Ruh roh.
-GUS JOHNSON GUS JOHNSON GUS JOHNSON
-Uh, Brandon Rush, buddy? That was an ugly shot.
-And Curry misses the big three down 4 with a little over a minute.
-But the one inside a minute down 5? He hits that. Jayhawks by a field goal
-Davidson possession with 16.8 to go down by a bucket. Cue piglet: Oh d-d-d-d-dear.
-And Curry couldn't shake the double team. Damn 1 seeds.

Where the white men at?
I refuse to believe that Bill Self is the hottest chick at KU. I cannot say the same about Stephen Curry at Davidson.
Davidson's endowment is massive. This trip did nothing to it.
Sonya Curry. Yes please.
@Le Kangourou de Kataroo: Who is this Davidson? Is he in the porn industry?
@Le Kangourou de Kataroo: Davidson's endowment, my endowment. Tomato, tomahto.
@Storming the Floor: Midget porn. It's a small school.
@Le Kangourou de Kataroo: So its a matter of ratio then, more than anything?
@Le Kangourou de Kataroo: That's what she said.
is the Texas game over yet? Can I switch back from golf?
@Le Kangourou de Kataroo: True. The entire student body wouldn't fill Wilt Chamberlain's little black book.
@Token_Tennis_Fan: @The Boy Wonder: @preciousroy: You must be lost. Fleshbot is down the hall, to the right.
So, headline writers around the country are just dying to write "David(son) slays Goliath?"
@Yostal: Which just proves their hackery. Too easy.
@hebmskebm: Mark Mangino is, in fact, the hottest chick at KU. Or... this guy: [www.yardbarker.com]
We know Davidson is exhausting its endowment to bring bus their students in free.
Is the Bring Bus the newest Bang Bros. project?
@Storming the Floor: I'm not saying it's right. I'm just saying that it seemed logical as soon as I heard The People's Champion describe the game as a classic "David vs. Goliath" matchup.
$20 to the first news service that describes Curry as "Star of Davidson."
@Jehovahs Witness Protection Program: Well...Mangino certainly has the biggest real tits at Kansas. I guess that counts for something...
@Yostal: the Washington Post already used that one after the georgetown game. Of all people, you would think they would be a little more imaginative.
Is there any building that the NCAA looks at and says, "Nahh, fellas, that might just be too big for a basketball game." Eighty percent of these people must feel like they're watching a flea circus.
@hebmskebm: It's close, but I think these girls may beat him out:
@Signal to Noise: Why Belichick should be going to NCAA games, not the goddamn NIT.
@Scoops: "It's close, but I think these girls may beat me off.
Accuracied.
@ky-jellydonuts: No, but you must remember, most fans take this approach:
Lisa: "Dad! Why aren't you looking?"
Homer: "Heh heh, why jerk my neck around like a goon when Tyrrannovision decides what I should look at?"
@Jehovahs Witness Protection Program: Billy and Dusty from ZZ Top?
This is not the first time I have heard the phrase "tiny juggernaut".
Is there any building that the NCAA looks at and says, "Nahh, fellas, that might just be too big for a basketball game."
Considering that Syracuse sometimes sells tickets that are behind the dividing wall? I'm going with no.
@twoeightnine: I saw a game from the top of the Carrier Dome once...I gave up pretending that I knew what was going on pretty quickly.
@hebmskebm: That reminds me of a shirt I saw at the 2004 Final Four - "Why play with Roy when we can play with our Self?"
We know Davidson is exhausting its endowment to bring bus their students in free.
Sending the Davidson student body on buses to Detroit...
This is like the exact opposite of when they bus black kids to white neighborhoods.
@Scoops: I have to tell you, the cheerleaders weren't nearly this nice when I went to school there. They must be recruiting outside our area these days.
First SU game I ever went to I was 5 rows from the top and technically behind the divider. I only knew what was going on because of the crowd reaction.
nothing like a game that could end 8-8
@Storming the Floor: You mean that there's no cheerleader-mill high schools in Lawrence?
@preciousroy: You missed a great Liverpool/Everton match today.
Which is to say, they were giving out free keychains and coasters at the bar today. Blech.
Someone will get to 10, right?
C'mon, guys, this is our last chance at a good game, and you're blowing it.
@Tuffy: I also missed a great Arsenal/Bolton match yesterday.
For I am Costanza, Lord of the idiots.
@Doug Llewelyn, Court Reporter: the Greater Charlotte area is very progressive when it comes to busing (with help from a Supreme Court order)...
Man, these creeps can D-up.
I can't decide if this is sloppy play or a pitcher's duel
No one's shooting today....
@byproxy: um, i don't think a 2 point lead is a bad game.
Make that 1 point lead.
for one...shining...moment...
@Storming the Floor: nobody fucks with the Davidson!
@BigTDog: A little from Column A...A little from Column B.
When did Detroit become part of the Big Ten?
@byproxy: Hey, maybe we'll have a good FF for once.
Still waiting to see what this Sonya Curry looks like...
If Carolina has to play Davidson, this town will turn upside-down...
