Actually, I kind of see it as mirror images. It doesn't feel like Davidson is on a Cinderella run because it was reasonable to expect an upset in all of their wins. By contrast, Mason's first two were big upsets, before facing Wichita State, which wasn't an upset. But if the Wildcats win on Sunday, it's a bigger Cinderella run than Mason. Why? Mason's last win was the least surprising if you were paying attention. Connecticut had no right to even be playing in that game, having been outplayed by Albany, Kentucky and Washington and lucking out tremendously. If not for the Huskies' unbelievable luck to that point, I would have been ready to bet about $50 on George Mason.
Kansas, by contrast, has looked better than anyone not named North Carolina. The Jayhawks have played fantastic basketball and steamrolled all three opponents. If Davidson beats KU, it's a bigger upset than any that George Mason ever pulled.
