Instead of kicking back and savoring his accomplishment, Curry is prepping for the toughest test of all. To keep little Davidson's wonderful ride going, Curry is going to have to figure out a way around the Wisconsin Badgers and their relentless defense. First up today in Detroit? Michael Flowers, who might just be playing the best defense in the country.

''They play long. They play physical. They play quick. But I think the most important and significant aspect of their defense is they play like a team,'' Davidson coach Bob McKillop said Thursday.

Kansas vs. Villanova

Scottie Reynolds might not be here today if a woman he has never met had made a different decision years ago.

Villanova's star guard reflected Thursday on the pivotal choice his birth mother made 20 1/2 years ago in Alabama.

The woman, who Reynolds knows only by name, later gave him up. Rick and Pam Reynolds adopted him, raising him in Virginia and Illinois.

''Yeah, sometimes I sit back and think about where I am right now,'' Reynolds said quietly in an interview with The Associated Press. ''Without that decision and without the parents I have right now, I wouldn't be in this position and I might not even be alive right now.''
