The Case for Davidson

I'm so tired of hearing why schools from major conferences deserve 5+ teams in the NCAA tournament. Granted some of them are worthy, but others are not. Davidson is a college in North Carolina and they play in the Southern Conference. They are 26-7 and they are the regular season SoCon champs. They lost in the semi-finals of their conference tournament last night. Now the "experts" say their resume isn't good enough to be one of the 65 teams that qualify for the tourney. I beg to differ. Firstly, they actually played some real good teams. They lost to Oklahoma, Duke, Purdue and Butler, all teams that will make the tournament. They have the best scorer in the NCAA in Stephen Curry. They swept the SoCon tourney champion Chattanooga. But the experts only wanna look at RPI's. Because Davidson's isn't as high as Virginia Tech's or Michigan's, they are instantly blackballed. I'm tired of the ACC and Big East bitching and complaining because they won't get 7-8 bids. I think the tournament is better with teams like Davidson, Siena and Creighton getting a fair shake. Enough of this giving Maryland, Kentucky and Providence credit for playing in a power conference. They all have at least 12 losses. Davidson actually played a good non-conference schedule but are being penalized for playing in a mediorce conference. I say to you selection committee, pick Davidson this Sunday. Stop bowing down to the demands of dinosaurs like Billy Packer, who wants the tournament to consist of all major schools. I will go out on a limb and say Davidson should be in. But we all know that they will not make it in and that's just wrong. Apparently 26 wins means nothing.
