1. The Georgetown Win was no fluke. Davidson didn't just get lucky against a sloppy Hoya team. They played Wisconsin strong, and ran away in the second half. They punched their legitimacy card tonight, and showed they were the real deal. This is no fluke, flash-in-the-pan team. Bill Self (or Jay Wright) better be paying attention.
2. Defense doesn't work. Georgetown and Wisconsin were two of the top 5 defenses in the NCAA this year, by almost any measure. Davidson, well, Stephen Curry, destroyed both teams. Defense doesn't appear to work against these guys. If you are going to beat Davidson, you're going to have to score early, often, and maybe a bit in between. Kansas can do this, but will they. Can Villanova pull it off in the late game? Either way, it's going to be a heck of a showdown on Sunday.
