Davidson is 59 on Kenpom .. their best two wins are 85 Vandy and 83 Richmond.

Other than that, their last 20 odd games are all Kenpom 200+, give or take.

We'll have to break their 17 game winning streak.

Wasn't Murray State on a big run last year?

Not sure if the Wiki is updated, but it lists MU as 1-1 in games vs. Davidson

Quickly looking, their top 7 MPG players are rather tall (6'3; 6'4; 6'4; 6'6; 6'7; 6'7; 6'10).  Will we see some of the 2 guard 3 forward lineup we saw vs Cuse?

Cohen is 6 10 230. If we keep him out of the paint, we will be fine.. Corchoran can jack 3s. 80 percent from ft. As a team.  Outle and Gardner will get minutes. Big game for both offensively. Marquette by 6

Gotta like the matchup, but the way they're capable of draining 3's they're the type of team that if hot enough could beat anyone on any given day

Davidson Board, seems like they feel disrespected by the seed and were bumped down a line to make the bracket work.

Roster and Stats:

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketball/ncaa/men/stats/team/2012/davidson-wildcats/index.html

I thought that as a "highly selective" school (Davidson's website's words, not mine), there would be a bunch of uber-boring names on this roster, but I was pleasantly surprised.
Have some patience, FFS.

Given how poorly we have played at times, escaping with wins over the likes of a battered St John's team and Uconn, I think we have a good chance of being upset.  I really hope we're due for a breakout game (which I think we are, since we have played poorly recently), then we can maybe carry that momentum into a payback game against Butler.  Otherwise, we may not live up to our seeding gift.

Is that the same Dick Vitale who had Marquette unranked in his preseason top 40, but Kentucky #2, Baylor #8 and UNC #13?

He's pretty good at this prediction stuff.

Most talking heads were picking Murray State and Isiah Cannon over MU last year.  How did that work out......

As far as picking upsets goes, I can understand why a lot of analysts would pick this ad one of their bigguns. MU could be seen as a bit overseeded at the 3, can't shoo from behind the arc, and has been known to go long stretches without being able to put the ball in the basket. Davidson meanwhile may be a tad under seeded, can get really hot from distance, and has some size. On paper, it's as likely as any. That said, I still think MU takes care of business. But I can understand why this would be a popular upset pick.

Considering this is a #3 seed vs. #14 seed, this game is close to a toss up. Not to over simplify, but if "good" Marquette shows up we win, if "bad" Marquette shows up we lose. We've been Jekyll & Hyde all season.

This game isn't a "toss up."  If MU plays their game, they win.

Never take anyone for granted. Play them one at a time. Would be nice to see us play good ball for a full 40 minutes.

Davidson lost to UW-M?

Yup.

Then again, a school is never as bad as their worst game or as good as their best.  I have a feeling that might have been Davidson's worst game of the year.

As they also look at our schedule and say "Marquette lost to UW-GB???"  Just saying one game doesn't tell the whole story

Maybe MU should just skip the game. Mighty Davidson is just too tough and talented.
