Even a 16 seed can pull off an upset if they shoot as well as UMBC when they beat No. 1 Virginia in 2018

#1 March Madness upset: No. 10 Davidson over No. 7 Michigan State

The Davidson Wildcats hope to help their alumn Steph Curry win a bet with Draymond Green.

The Davidson Wildcats and their alum Steph Curry will try to beat Michigan State and their alumn Draymond Green. The Golden State Warriors teammates made bets about whose school will win, and the Wildcats have more than enough ability to make it happen.

The Wildcats are the more efficient team, and they are the better shooting team. Perhaps more importantly, the Wildcats have an elite player with extra motivation in the game.

While one player will not win or lose a game, Foster Loyer can be a player Davidson can lean on in the clutch. If Loyer can have a Curry-esque night, Davidson (27-6) can beat Michigan State (22-12) easily. Michigan State is 8-10 since Jan, 15.

In reality, Loyer will have a good game, and Davidson will hit enough 3-pointers to secure an upset and provide Loyer vindication for joining Davidson.
