March 29, 200818 yr Final I watched the first half of the game and was shocked at all the outside shots Wisconsin was hitting. I figured that if the game got up in the 70's or 80's they would be run out of the gym. Sure enough, that's what happened. I had Wisconsin in my Elite 8, but I don't mind at all having Cinderella in there.
March 29, 200818 yr Author Curry is unreal. Win or lose Sunday, he's the Regional MVP... There have been and will be a million articles written about this kid from now on, I found this qouote fairly interesting from this article: Dell and his wife, Sonya, met at Virginia Tech, where he was a basketball star and she played volleyball and “a little bit of basketball.” Their eldest son, however, was not recruited to play for the Hokies. “Stephen did not get a lot of press clippings in high school and a lot of people have asked me, well, why didn't you call Roy (Williams, North Carolina coach) or Mike (Krzyzewski, Duke coach),” said Dell, who was well known for his smooth shooting stroke during his 16 seasons in the NBA. “Well, I didn't think I needed to solicit for my son; I thought he was a solid player.” Did Stephen want to play at Virginia Tech? “He would have loved to have played for Virginia Tech,” the elder Curry said. “But that is water under the bridge and there are no hard feelings. And (Seth Greenberg, the Hokies' coach) will tell you, he messed up. “But in reality, Stephen really did improve a great deal during his senior year because before that, I didn't even know if he was an ACC player at that time.” http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20080326/news_1s26curry.html
March 29, 200818 yr Heck of a game by Davidson. In the second half they could do no wrong and Wisconsin could do no right. Davidson went out and took this game.
March 29, 200818 yr The most amazing part about Curry is his path to the Elite 8. Gonzaga, GTown and Wisky are all know as programs that put a high emphasis on perimeter D, and it didn't slow him down at all...
March 29, 200818 yr Could Curry be Crush2.0? He is pretty fun to watch and its not like you look at the kid and say, this kid is gonna be dangerous.
March 29, 200818 yr I have to add, Crush2.0 being that he is the second Man Crush GT has on a player. I am in now way comparing his game to the original "Crush."
March 29, 200818 yr Curry is unreal. Win or lose Sunday, he's the Regional MVP... I agree and Davidson is more than a one man team, that team pays excellent defense as well. Of course Curry is "the man" but that team is just that.... A Team. They do an excellent job of screening, coming off screens and passing the basketball. Curry works as hard without the ball as he does with it. He also sets up and looks for other teammates as well as any kid that have seen in this tournament. I said on a thread before that imo Wisconsin was playing so well it looked like that they were on a mission. I just found out tonight that due to Davidson it was Mission Impossible.
March 29, 200818 yr On a side note......wasn't Jimmy Valvano's N.C. State National Championship team a #10 seed? Hmmmm..............:sssh:
