More about Davidson . . .

Time was ticking away on the Davidson Wildcats and their rapid rise to college basketball relevance.

Down 11 points at the half and being stymied by Georgetown’s suffocating defense, the shots were clanking, even for sophomore star Stephen Curry. Making good on just 8 of 30 attempts from the field as a team, 2 of 8 by Curry, they were in deep trouble. As off as their efforts were, the Hoyas’ were true, Georgetown firing at a 66.7 percent clip from the field and converting 5 of 7 from three-point distance.

The team that seemingly could do no wrong in its NCAA tournament-opening upset of Gonzaga couldn’t find the hoop and couldn’t stop GU. It looked like the 2½-hour drive back to the Charlotte area was going to be a long and disappointing ride.

Sorry, but Cinderella wasn’t ready for the carriage just yet.

Davidson's for Real and the New Results are Up . . .

WOW!!

He did it again!! I like to watch Stephen Curry about as much as I liked to watch his dad. When I was growing up in Blacksburg, VA, Dell Curry was draining bombs from what would now be the NBA 3-point line in Cassell Coliseum. Why do I say about as much . . . well, Dell wore the Chicago Maroon and Burnt Orange of Virginia Tech. Oh how I wish things had been different during the recruiting season of 2006! But for now, I'll just sit back and watch the son of one of my favorite college basketball players show what the NCAA Tournament is about.
