Cinderella is dead... Kansas outlasts Davidson, 59-57

Stephen Curry couldn't come up with one last big time shot to save his team this time, as the clock struck 12 on the Davidson Wildcats. Kansas held on to a 59-57 victory to advance to the Final Four for the first time under coach Bill Self, and it now marks the first time ever that all four #1 seeds have made it to the Final Four. Stephen Curry had an "off" night, scoring 25 points on 9-25 shooting, while Kansas was led by Sasha Kaun's big work down low and Mario Chalmers. Brandon Rush struggled mightily, scoring only 12 points on 4-14 shooting and was assigned to Curry towards the end of the game. It was a great run by Davidson, and was the only good game of the weekend. Kansas joins North Carolina, Memphis, and UCLA in the historic matchup of four #1 seeds in the Final Four. GO HEELS!

Great effort by Davidson and Curry, he is so silky smooth its unreal. Just couldn't get anything to fall at the end, and nobody else stepped up. Kansas finally got the monkey off its back.

Kansas was led by Kaun, he came up huge when all the rest of the "star" players effed up

Yea where were Rush and Jackson? Really have some making up to do in the Final Four.

Great game...too bad Curry and Co. couldn't make a couple more baskets there. But what a run. They would have been the modern day Hoosiers if they made it to the Final Four.

Curry had ZERO BUSINESS taking that ball out. However, i guess all good things must come to an end. Good Job to the coaching staff and the kids at Davidson.

I think what they were trying to do with that was make sure he at least had a chance to take the final shot, in case Kansas straight denied him the ball. It was unfortunate that he didn't attack the basket, because they didn't need a three.

I ain't crying. I picked all four #1's to make it to the final four. Was a good run by Davidson, but it's a lot harder to hit those shots when you are playing for you life than it is when you're beating the snot out of everyone.
