Two hours until game time, and I am calling Wisconsin BIG over Davidson tonight. Davidson hotshot Stephan Curry will get fewer than 20 points and Davidson will not reach 50. Unless Wisconsin slacks off during garbage time at the end of the game. But in any event, Badgers advance to the Elite Eight.
UPDATE: From ESPN re Wisconsin:
They play in the rough-and-tumble Big Ten, where it's often hard to tell when football season ended and basketball season began. Their trademark is their textbook defense -- they're allowing only 53.9 points a game, best in the country, and have allowed only seven opponents to score more than 60 points -- and their offense is often overlooked because it's so balanced. They're old-school, right down to the jerseys that have only a number on the back.
UPDATE2: Now you know why I am in the bottom third of the Conglomerate bracket.

Professor Gordon, I predicted the same for Michigan State (my undergraduate alma mater) and taunted my fellow Georgetown law school classmates for not picking MSU to go to the championship game. The Big Ten . . . out with a whimper.

That was a meltdown of epic proportions. I can't think of any other way to describe it...
