As the buzzer sounded Saturday, Stephen Curry and his teamates celebrated as they had pulled off one of the biggest upsets of tournament so far. Curry's Davidson Wildcats had beaten the 2nd seeded Georgetown Hoyas...or should I say, Curry beat the Georgetown Hoyas. Stephen had 30 points in this game...but here's the catch. He only had 5 in the first half. That's right, he had 25 in the second half vs. one of the nations best teams. Sound like a fluke? Then lets discuss the first round game, when Curry took his #10 Wildcats vs. #7 Gonzaga. Curry dropped 40 on Gonzaga...30 of those in the 2nd half.
What Stephen Curry has been pulling off right now is the reason why everyone loves college basketball. The kid looks like he's 13 years old and about 120 pounds soaking wet, yet he gets the job done night after night. His game is based on perimeter shooting, which isn't a suprise based on his father, Dell Curry, but yet he can take it to the hoop with such finesse and can hit the open man with a nice crisp pass. Nothing is more special than the moment in the Gonzaga game, where Stephen hit the game tying three late in the 2nd half(which was his 37th point) and strutted up the court pointing to his parents, while his mother was in tears and father had a smile that said "That's my boy."
No matter how far Stephen's Wildcats go, whether it's to the final four or knocked out next game...we've all witnessed something very special.
The best part is, he's only a sophomore.
