How about those Davidson Wildcats?
I admit I wasn't bold enough to pick Davidson to beat Georgetown in my NCAA tournament bracket -- although I did have it beating Gonzaga in the first round -- but that's exactly what the Wildcats did Sunday. They knocked off the second-seeded Hoyas 74-70 to advance to the Sweet 16.
As a proud Appalachian State graduate, it has never been my style to root for the Mountaineers' Southern Conference rival.
Well, those days are gone.
What's not to like about a well-coached, fundamentally-sound basketball team?
That's the Wildcats in a nutshell. Oh, and they just happen to have probably the best shooter in the nation in guard Stephen Curry, who followed up his 40-point performance in their first-round win over Gonzaga with 30 against the Hoyas.
People are talking about a possible North Carolina-Kansas showdown in the Final Four.
Don't count out those talented 10th-seeded Wildcats from winning the Midwest Regional this week.
I won't be.
