Davidson has opened as the favorite. -1.5

I think Davidson will beat them.

Davidson is a real sleeper. It wouldnt surprise me at all to see them go to the Sweet Sixteen.

Not much of zags or wildcas fan but to close for me to call. Im interested in seeing what Few gon do with Curry if he is gon throw some length at him or be physical and put pargo on him.

I'll be on Davidson as the fave of course.

dannyt76 · 03-17-08, 12:00 AM

Agreed. I will be on Davidson as well.

I may hold off until the larger public, who loves to jump in during tourney time, moves the line to Zaga -1 to -2 once they get an earful of Vitale and all the other TV characters pump up Gonzaga all week.

Logistics/travel is a big factor to consider here.

Davidson's campus is a 2.5 hour bus ride to Raleigh, while Gonzaga has to fly 3,000 miles for a noon game on Friday.

Line movement will be interesting. I have already heard a lot of pundits making noise about Davidson as a Sweet 16 team.

I like Gonzaga. Yes, Devisoson has won 22 straight, but all that came in conferernce (except Winthrop...big woop!). Yes, they played some great non-conference games, but they didn't WIN any of them. Playing team close matters more when you are an underdog, but at around Pick'em, I'll take a Gonzaga team that has a few more quality wins.

LT, you made me curious, so I went and reviewed Gonzaga's record. I must say, this was certainly impressive, back in November/December:

Sat, Nov 24 at Virginia Tech W 82-64 -- --
Thu, Nov 29 at St. Joseph's W 70-65 -- --
Sat, Dec 1 at Connecticut W 85-82 -- --

Sheesh.
