March Madness Is Here As Stephen Curry leads Davidson to Stunning Upset Over Number 2-Seeded Georgetown


Brothers Are Ballin', You Know What That Means!

Davidson's Stephen Curry, who scored 25 of his 30 points in the second half, drives around Georgetown's Patrick Ewing Jr. (yes, THAT Patrick Ewing) in the first half of their second-round NCAA Midwest Regional game on Sunday.

Curry scored 25 of his 30 points in the second half, and 10th-seeded Davidson ends up ralling from a 17-point deficit to stun No. 2-seeded Georgetown, 74-70.

UCLA 53, Texas A&M 49
Stanford 82, Marquette 81 (OT)
No guarantees for NCAA's top-seeded teams
Last year's heartbreak teaches Xavier
Memphis narrowly beats Mississippi State
Tennessee holds off pesky Butler
Western Kentucky locks out San Diego
Virginia finishes off UCSB, 86-52

Stephen Curry looked tired. His soft, feathery shot was clanging off the rim. The slender, baby-faced sophomore seemed to be just another in a long line of stars bottled up by Georgetown's ferocious defense.Davidson's run was certainly over. A good season was coming to a fitting end against one of college basketball's elite programs.

Then, as quickly as Curry can get off a turnaround three-pointer, the Wildcats staged a comeback.
