Davidson Wildcats cheerleaders are featured on CBS College Sports TV about cheering for their team in the NCAA tournament. “With a team like this, it’s hard to stop smiling?” says one. “Does your face hurt?” asks the interviewer.

Meanwhile, student fans who traveled to Detroit were interviewed on weekend Good Morning America on ABC-TV Sunday, in a segment titled “Cinderella Dances On: Can Davidson Reach the Final Four.” As classmates cheered behind them, student body president Davis Greene, cheerleading captain Rebecca Trask and outgoing student body president Chris Burton answered questions. They thanked the trustees for paying for a total of 12 buses (including five more that left this morning at 3 a.m.). They also talked about studying (Mr. Burton said he stayed up all night and wrote a paper after the win over Wisconsin Friday night.) “For crying out loud, have a beer,” says the ABC host.
