My two upsets of this weekend will be (10) Davidson over (3) Wisconsin, and (3) Louisville over (2) Tennessee.
With the Sweet 16 so close, I couldn't help but to rewind the wonderful individual efforts of guys like Davidson's Stephon Curry, Stanford's Lopez brothers (Robin and Brook), West Virginia's Joe Alexander, and the point guards from Villanova (Scottie Reynolds) and Xavier (Drew Lavender).
I've have the opportunity to watch Stephon Curry on numerous occasions and I can say he might be one of the best, if not the best, pure shooter in the college game today. With the help of the nation's assist leader at point (Jason Richards), I see this backcourt pushing this Davidson team to the Elite 8 to face a strong Kansas team. But that's where the train stops.
Next, Louisville and Tennessee. Although Tennessee has shown great poise in tight games and in tough situation this is where they have met their match. Louisville, which is led by their big man David Padgett and coach Rick Pitino, will be entirely too strong inside and out for Bruce Pearl and the Volunteers. The problem I see Tennessee having is on the offensive and defensive boards. Tennessee's frontcourt is led by their three athletic sophomores Tyler Smith, J.P. Prince, Wayne Chism, but with fundamental play from Louisville's big-men, I expect the Cardinals to have a strong presence down low.
