Not really true. Technically Duke and UNC were home games for Davidson, but they played in Charlotte...who fills the stands in Charlotte: tiny little Davidson, or North Carolina and Duke?

They played close games against both of those teams, and were competitive on the road against UCLA...that's two #1 seeds and probably a #2 seed that they were able to put up a fight against on the road (for all intents and purposes).

I think those games indicate that they are more dangerous than your typical league champions from a low-level conference, but we'll see.

Not too many upsets but I'm saying Davidson and Oral Roberts get to the Sweet 16.

Davidson, St. Mary's, and Temple.

And I like Drake's chances to get to the Sweet Sixteen.

If ever there was ayear for mid/low majors to make noise, this is the year. No insanely strong teams in this year's tourny.

Oral Roberts? They're up against Pitt in the 1st round. I don't see them being able to handle both Sam Young and Blair...

But then, I'm probably the biggest Pitt homer on these boards... :wink:

Vanderbilt simply isn't the same team away from home. Wouldn't surprise me one bit to see Siena knock them off at a neutral site.
