The first game Wisconsin against Davidson. The Wildcats pulled off a remarkable comeback against Georgetown to get here. They trailed by as much as 17 in the second half, but rallied to win 74-70. They got a lot of help from the Hoyas in the form of 20 turnovers, compared to only four for Davidson.

Wisconsin will not be so helpful. The Badgers are as fundamentally sound as any team in the field. They are in the top 25 in the nation in turnovers and rebounding, and lead the country in scoring defense. And they do that without fouling much. UW is sixth nationally in fouls per game.

6'11" Brian Butch figures to be a big matchup problem for Davidson, although they did manage Roy Hibbert all right. Butch, unlike Hibbert, shows up to play every night and can beat you in the post or on the perimeter.

Wisconsin will try to find a way to slow down the tournament's leading scorer, Stephen Curry, who has 70 points in two games, 55 of which have come after halftime.

Our nightcap pits top seeded Kansas against the 12-seed Villanova. Unlike Davidson and Western Kentucky, the other double-digit seeds remaining, they are used to seeing talented teams like Kansas because they play in the Big East. That doesn't necessarily mean the Wildcats can beat teams like that, but they do have high-major athletes, so they are less likely to get flat-out run off the floor.

Scottie Reynolds has been carrying Nova to this point, averaging 23 points per game the first weekend. He'll have his hands full with Brandon Rush and Mario Chalmers though. And Darrell Arthur should have a big advantage inside against Villanova's post players Dante Cunningham and Ed Pena.

Kansas is loaded. The Jayhawks may have best best top seven in the country. Sherron Collins and Sasha Kaun would start for 95% of the teams in D-I, but come off the bench for KU.

Expect a lot of blue and red in the stands in Detroit as both Kansas and Wisconsin have large and rabid followings. If this were football, the UW crowd would be bigger by far, but it's hoops, so we'll probably see more Kansas fans. Unless Badgers fans are confused because the game will be played in a football stadium. Either way, it's a safe bet that Wisconsin's fans will be tailgating in the parking lot, because that is what they do best.
