So we have had a couple of absolutely phenomenal performances today in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, none more so than that of Davidson sophomore Stephen Curry. This should come as no surprise to basketball fans, as Curry burst onto the scene in last year's NCAA Tournament, scoring 30 against Maryland. This year, he averaged 25.1 points per game, good for fifth in the nation.
In today's game against 7th seeded Gonzaga, Curry was an absolute monster. He scored 40 points (30 IN THE SECOND HALF) on 14-23 shooting, including 8-11 from three point range. Lest we think he is simply an offensive juggernaut, Curry also had 5 steals on the defensive end. He did everything except take Gonzaga inside and make them pancakes. And he did this all without the help of any "fruity picks". I just hope that Gonzaga brought their peoples with them, even though they didn't get embarrassed.
Miami's Jack McClinton, Western Kentucky's Tyrone Brazelton and Drake's Jonathan Cox had monster outings, but Stephen Curry, you are the clutch player of the early games.
