Stephen Curry and his teammates did what no other team did to Wisconsin this year. That is beat them by double digits. In winning 73-56 they made the Big 10 Champions look like an imposter. Davidson hit 8 3’s in the first half and made Wisconsin chase them the rest of the night. After the Badgers lost Trevon Hughes early in the first half they seemed discombobulated. They no longer were able to get easy baskets.
If Stephen Curry isn’t an All-american it is only because he plays at Davidson. Curry scored 33 with an array of shots ranging from 3’s to runners. He now has scored over 30 points in three straight games. He had plenty of help from Jason Richards who doled out 13 assists. In the second half the Badgers were so spread out defensively that Davidson was able to get some easy baskets inside. Credit Coach Bob McKillop for keeping his troops focused and not just continuing to launch from behind the arc.
The winner of Kansas and Villanova will play Davidson. It is another opportunity for Curry and his running matre Richards to show that they might just be the best guard tandem in the country. With the nations longest winning streak (25), I not arguing…
Texas, playing in Houston, knocked Stanford out with a combination of running and doubling. DJ Augustin poured in 23 points, but more importantly, led a Texas defense that pestered Brooks Lopez into working overtime to score his 26 points. With one more game at home, I believe the Longhorns will be playing once again in Texas, this time San Antonio.
