Stephen Curry is so freaking good. He's quite possibly my favorite thing about this entire tournament so far.
Posted by: NDLauren | Mar 28, 2008 8:53:04 PM
In that other NCAA Tournament, the hockey tournament, ND managed to pull a big upset over 1 seeded Univ. of New Hampshire today. If they manage to do the same thing one more time, they're in the Frozen 4!

Stephen Curry = Superstar
I love when great players rise to the top in this tourney.
Posted by: Tbone | Mar 28, 2008 9:26:28 PM
You still haven't fixed my bracket yet. It still looks like I stupidly picked Georgetown
Posted by: David K. | Mar 28, 2008 9:42:15 PM
If Flowers can't stop Curry, I don't know if anyone can.
Posted by: Dan Port | Mar 28, 2008 9:47:28 PM
I can't believe Curry was a PG in high school. What a smart basketball player. 6 3's!?!?!?! And the majority of them were off screens! Sick.
Jay Wright is blowing Novas chances right now. Doubling the ball and running a full court defense is only going to f him in the a in the long run by getting stupid fouls early.

Stephen Curry, superstar? That's it? Dude's way past superstar. He's the best tournament player of our lifetime. He's actually unstoppable. I'm founded dumb right now.

Stephen Curry's so awesome, he makes me double up double up.

I heard Stephon Curry poops diamonds. I heard his eyelashes can cure AIDS. If he looks at you a certain way you will live forever.
