Dude is gonna fill it up in Nellie’s run-n-gun offense. I don’t know that Golden State really needed more firepower but that’s what they just got in Curry. I was hoping Curry was going to be Gotham bound, as did most of the fans at The Garden, but that’s not going to happen. [...]

Funny. At first I was going to blog about what a shame it was that two of college hoops best players — Patty Mills and Stephen Curry — and their teasm, St. Mary’s and Davidson, respectively, two of the best teams in college basketball all season long, were being forced to play in a [...]

All the real college hoops fans should be watching them some ESPN2 right now because it doesn’t get any better than Stephen Curry and Davidson traveling to Moraga, Cali to take on St. Mary’s and their star Aussie point guard Patty Mills. Sure, the Big Dance was fun and all, but this should be [...]

Watching the play-in… err I mean “opening round” game between Morehead State and Alabama State, I’ve been seething ever since that greasy douchebag Steve Lavin said, “The NCAA Tournament Selection Committee nailed it this season.” To his mind, those of the former BCS league players and coaches that comprise 99% of college hoops talking [...]

Stephen Curry just went down hard on a drive in Davidson’s Southern Conference scrap with Furman this afternoon. With the Wildcats leading the Paladins 60-55 with about eight minutes left, Curry drove to the hope and his left foot came down on a Furman player and completely turned in. It was ugly [...]

Thanks to Stephen Curry’s power, Bob McKillop’s side may be able to snag a rare at-large invite to March Madness if they don’t win the league. That can’t be said for Bobby Cremins’ Cougars despite their impressive 10-2 (9-2 versus DI comp) record, mostly because their OOC schedule was cupcake-laden, which explains their not-so-stellar RPI of 122 (according to RealTime RPI). In order to go dancing, Charleston probably needs to win out the rest of their SoCon slate, which includes a return match at Davidson on February 7th. And even that may not be enough.

Such is life in the SoCon. Play a Top 25 to a virtual draw in a marquee matchup, but find yourself right back where you started: on the outside looking in at college hoops biggest party.

And that’s the beauty of Stephen Curry’s game. His stroke is so pure, his confidence so absolute, and his understanding of the game so complete that he’s always on the verge of making the type of play that reminds me of just why it is that you love this game.

The smartest.
Double-teamed by a triangle and two defense deployed by Loyola (Md), all Curry did was draw defenders and get the rock to open teammates in a78-48 Davidson rout.
Incredibly enough, Curry put up a goose egg after going off for 29, 33, 44, 30, and 39 to start the season. No matter, his teammates [...]

This site tends to lie pretty fallow during the summer and there are some good and bad reasons for that. The best reason — from my perspective at least — is that the sun’s shining during the day and the nights are made for drinking outside. Meaning that I’m just not in front [...]

Sometimes timing really is everything.
On Sunday night, I watched the second half of Team USA’s 90-68 spanking of Russia and left that game completely unconvinced that this was a team that has a lock on the Gold. A major reason why was that I disliked the way we handled Russia’s zone D, [...]

can’t remember ever seeing a shooter as sweet as Curry at the college level. With his quick release and tireless ability to keep moving on offense, there seems to be nothing a team can do to defend him once he gets going. He wasn’t getting open looks on Sunday and Friday. He had a hand or two or four or six in his face every time he shot. Didn’t matter. Curry was money.

Maybe watching Reggie Miller during his senior year at UCLA or watching Calvin Murphy shoot the lights out for Niagara in the late 1960s is the closest it comes to watching Curry work his magic. I only sort of remember watching Reggie during his career at UCLA since I was 14 when he graduated and I wasn’t but a vision in the smoke from one of my parents bong hits when Murphy was playing college ball. So, as far as I know, watching Stephen Curry shoot the rock is as good as it gets in college hoops.
