There are no basketball experts

The TV networks hire a bunch of talking heads posing as pundits. There
is one thing all of them have in common. None of them qualify as
experts. Guys like Jay Bilas, Bobby Knight, Clark Kellogg and Digger
Phelps had absolutely no clue that Davidson would make it to the Elite
Eight.

They didn't just make it. They played like a 2 seed.

I looked at Poologic's source data.

The Vegas spreads had them winning the first round.

The ratings had them a little above a 10 seed, but not much.

My RSBC sheets have them in the sweet 16, based on upset incentives.
That's the reason they are ranking pretty high at this point.

Digger picked them to beat Wisconsin. Did you?
