The 2 seed in the midwest region Georgetown Hoyas have been defeated at the hands of the 10 seed Davidson Wildcats.

The Hoyas had a 38-27 lead at the half despite big man Roy Hibbert only playing around 5 minutes due to 2 early personal fouls. In the 2nd half, Davidson fell down as many as 17 but this mid major was not done. The Wildcats, led by superstar Stephen Curry, rallied and eventually won the game 74-70 to pull the giant upset. Curry hit 4 clutch free throws down the stretch and finished with 30 points, he had 40 in the first round game against Gonzaga. The Wildcats have won an NCAA leading 24 games in a row. Davidson will play Wisconsin in the Sweet 16.

In other action the Tennessee Volunteers took on the Butler Bulldogs for a chance to play the winner of tonight’s Oklahoma/Louisville game. The Vols opened the game on fire, taking an early 12-2 lead. But the 29 win Bulldogs wouldn’t go away that quickly. They battled back and made the Vols lead just 4 at halftime. The teams went back and forth the entire 2nd half. Butler grabbed their first lead with less than 2 minutes to go, only to be tied again by Tennessee. Butler had the chance to win the game at the buzzer but an overtime was needed. After the 5 minutes, Bruce Pearl’s club survived yet again to advance. Smith and Chism each put in 15.

Another 2 seed, Texas, survived Miami (FL) to advance to Houston to play a virtual home game in the sweet 16 against Stanford. It’s been quite a wild weekend for 2 seeds. Duke lost to West Virginia, Georgetown lost to Davidson, Tennessee and Texas squeaked by.
