Big east with 8 and a10 with 5.  B1g w 7.  Nice to see.

Davidson has a lot of size and is a good 3-point shooting team.  Not necessarily the best matchup for us.

[LloydMooresLegs]

So, Davidson, Butler, Miami and then Indiana.  One game at a time.

Stephen Curry ain't walkin' through that door.

Best win is at home vs. #71 Montana.  Played Duke, New Mexico, Gonzaga and came no closer than 14.  They lost at UWM.  If we don't destroy them it would be a colossal failure.

Davidson and Butler? I'll take that path to the Sweet 16.

[Pakuni]

And so begins the annual MU Scoop tradition of discussing how good the double-digit seeded first round opponent is and how we should be really, really nervous.

[warriorstrack]

Committee really must have liked our body of work, outside respect coming in when we want it the most

[mr.MUskie]

Davidson likes their chances.

I think we can beat ND and I watched ND beat Marquette the other night. This is definitely a winnable game.

Seriously. Every year it's the same thing. By Thursday, Davidson will be the greatest since Lew Alcindor's UCLA championship squads.

Game in Lexington Thursday.  Close to Davidson, though I doubt they travel well.  About the best location we could have hoped for distance wise.

Agree.  Gift wrapped draw.  Let's make sure we capitalize

Iona was a really, really awful matchup right up to the time they choked away their play-in game. At which point, BYU became scary.

Does Bob McKillop qualify as a legend?

To be fair, long before any Scooper said anything Dick Vitale picked that game as one MU should be very, very nervous about. Bilas immediately concurred.

Davidson to Lexington = 407 miles.
Milwaukee to Lexington = 462 miles.

When do they release the game times?

Probably within two hours or so.  Count on one of the afternoon timeslots; Louisville's pod is also in Lexington and they're likely for one of the evening games.

You're probably right. Fu*ckin a.

Talkin' about the Hoosiers?

And maybe they're right. But I don't see it.
Davidson is not a great shooting team, nor do they have much size. And MU should kill them on the boards (Davdison ranks 212th in the nation in rebounding).
Not the kind of team that's given MU trouble this year.
I'd be much more concerned with a Valpo, South Dakota St. or Belmont matchup.

I know nothing about them. Based on Sagarin we should be about a 5.5 point favorite.

How about their endowments and us news rankings?

If they have to play Syracuse, I don't think they can beat them.
