SI on the SCT

Why it matters:

One word: Steff-in. If Davidson doesn't win this tournament, there will be no Steph Curry in the NCAA tournament. Curry electrified the nation with a stunning four-game NCAA run last March when he averaged 32 points against Gonzaga, Georgetown, Wisconsin and Kansas. Davidson won the league with an 18-2 record, but a 7-4 nonconference mark and an RPI of 67 (which may drop between now and Selection Sunday even with wins) are not going to be enough for an at-large bid. Davidson’s road looks to be Appalachian State, Western Carolina and UT-Chattanooga, teams the Wildcats went 4-0 against this year -- a good sign, but beware: the championship game is at Chattanooga.

'Buster matchup?

Bill Trocchi:

ESPN will announce its BracketBuster pairings on Monday, and unfortunately, the matchup of Liberty freshman Seth Curry vs. older brother Steph Curry is unlikely. While Davidson is on the home list and Liberty is on the road list, Liberty's RPI of 170 is likely too low for ESPN to consider pairing with Davidson, who has an RPI of 37. Wouldn't it make great television?

My best guess for the top matchups:

Butler at Davidson -- Steph Curry would face one of the toughest defenses in the nation.
