With everyone dubbing Curry and the Davidson Wildcats as this year’s Cinderella team, what does that make the Badgers? The wicked stepmother? From the way the audience is tortured with their style of play, they might very well be. But in this tale, Cinderella will not find her glass slipper. The clock will strike midnight on Friday ending Davidson’s fairy tale run in the Big Dance.
Davidson enters the match up with hot shooting Curry, but for most of the season and all 2 post season games, Wisconsin has shown why Big Ten play is a whole different animal altogether. Just ask Pittsburgh who is sitting at home nursing their bumps and bruises from their game against Michigan State. Wisconsin will have no problem defending one streaking player, Kansas State’s Michael Beasley can attest to that.
Wisconsin has 13 quality wins playing a schedule ranked the 58th hardest in the nation. Davidson has no quality wins even though they’ve played the 129th toughest schedule in the country. Not exactly battle tested.
And that is why Cinderella shall be left out of the Elite Eight ball in this tale. She will not live happily ever after, she won’t even make it out of the attic. It’s been a good run though.
