Davidson Wildcats lose chance to go to the Final Four

Posted by: ST on March 30, 2008 at 7:21 pm

Davidson WildcatsStephen Curry and the gang at Davidson played their behinds off tonight against #1 Kansas, proving that just because you’re ranked #10 doesn’t mean you have to play like a #10 team. In the end, though, as the last 16 seconds of the game winded down with Davidson in possession, the last second shot didn’t go through, and the Jayhawks won 59-57, and will go on to play Carolina in the Final Four.

Hats off to the Wildcats in spite of today’s heartbreaking loss. They had a phenomenal season, played a great tournament, and have nothing to be ashamed of. They’ll get a huge welcome when they make it back home.

And now, I go from saying “Go Wildcats” to saying “Go Jayhawks!” :D

    Davidson played a great game–they proved they didn’t deserve to be a tenth seed, that’s for sure.

    Thanks Leslie! As a proud Davidson alum (’02) thanks to ST for her commendation. Two BTW’s — 1) Lovedale’s a junior, and Curry and Barr are sophomores, so NEXT YEAR WE GO ALL THE WAY! 2) I hope everyone noted the Trustee thing — they dug into their personal pockets (NOT school funding) and offered students free round-trip busing, two nights in hotels and food, if they wanted to go to Detroit to watch the Cats in person. They ended up scrambling for more buses — they anticipated perhaps 100 students accepting, when almost 300 did. (Davidson’s 1700 students, to put that in perspective.)
