Good game but they gave it away.

I hate team Geritol.

That is all.

You won't see me shed a year for Davidson.

Whether we "like" them or not, their win in the NCAA would have benefited ASU thru revenue sharing. No win- no additional revenue for us.

How much money are we really talking about? We likely won't be in the SoCon much longer anyway.

Davidson losing the way they did makes me smile.

NCAA tourney money is paid out over four years a year after that tourney so we're not going to see any more money.

Not sure I would say Davy choked or gave the game away. Marquette hit three 3-pointers in a row in the last couple of minutes of the game, a couple of them 2-3 feet behind the 3-point line, when they are not a very good 3-point shooting team. Also, not sure why a foul was not called on Marquette when the Davy guy threw the ball out of bounds -- it looked to me like they were trying to foul him and almost knocked him down as the ball left his hands.

Enjoyed watching a good game, but didn't really care if Davidson won or lost.

I was pulling for Davidson to help my bracket, as I thought Butler would have a better shot at beating the Wildcats than Marquette. But after Iamamoron said what he did about Davidson during the 2008 tournament run (that accomplishment being bigger than ASU/Michigan on national television), I stopped pulling for the Cats right then and there. A win or two in the tourney could've helped the kitties turn a run into an A-10 bid, though, which would've made Iamamoron sweat.

Hold on to the ball, take the foul, make the shots, move on. Couldn't close the deal.

I was pulling for DC, but I agree they gave it away. Very unlike them, should have burned a timeout.

Great game by Davidson - just could not close it out. I wouldn't call it a choke. Marquette's 3 threes at end of game set up their opportunity. I was pulling for Davidson. Oh well.

Didn't think it was worthy of it's own thread but Montana is getting CRUSHED by Big Orange. Last score I saw was 44-15 with 17 minutes left in the 2nd.

Not a Davidson fan, but a 14 seed taking a 3 seed to the wire and should have won the game seems like a moral victory anyway. I give Davidson credit, they showed up to play and repped the SoCon pretty well. Should have won the game.

I really don't have anything to say about the choke. When they constantly rip our ass it's best to just not say anything. :oops:

You have a point and I agree to an extent. We sort of sound like Western fans who have absolutely nothing to cheer for except App losses.
