March 28, 2008

Behind a pair of jaw-dropping shooting displays against Gonzaga and Georgetown, Curry’s wildcats traveled to Fox Field in Detroit for the Sweet 16.

Davidson met up with the third-seeded Wisconsin Badgers in the Midwest Regional Final. Bo Ryan’s 30-5 Badgers boasted a rotation with three All-Big Ten players. Wisconsin’s guard Joe Krabenhoff was named to the Big-Ten All-Defensive Team. After two 15-point victories, the Badgers coasted into the Sweet 16.

No matter the accolades, it wasn’t enough to slow down Curry. The second-team All-American toasted the defensive combo of Krabenhoff and Michael Flowers for 33 of Davidson’s 73 points en route to the Elite Eight.

The future lottery pick drilled six shots from beyond the arc while adding four assists, four steals and three rebounds. Curry’s 33 in the Sweet 16 was his fourth straight 30-point effort in the NCAA Tournament.

March Madness rewind: Stephen Curry fuels Davidson’s comeback over Georgetown

Stephen Curry dropped 30 points on Roy Hibbert and the Georgetown Hoyas to advance Davidson into the 2008 Sweet 16.

With no NCAA Tournament brackets being busted this year due to the coronavirus pandemic, Warriors Wire is highlighting notable March performances from current members on the Golden State roster.

Who doesn’t love a Cinderella story in March Madness? Long before he was winning Most Valuable Player awards and hanging championship banners in Oracle Arena, Stephen Curry played a key figure in one of the most memorable runs in NCAA Tournament history.

March 23, 2008

Coming off a thrilling victory against Gonzaga in the first round, Curry’s Davidson squad linked up with the second-seeded Georgetown Hoyas. With second-team All American Roy Hibbert returning for his senior season, the Hoyas were labeled as a favorite in 2008 after going to the Final Four in 2007.

However, the Big East regular-season champions ran into magic in the second round. Davidson fell down by 17 points to Georgetown, but it wasn’t enough to send Curry home.

After lighting up Gonzaga for 40 points, Curry missed 10 of his first 12 shots for the Wildcats. However, the future NBA All-Star nailed six of his final nine shots to score 25 of his 30 points in the second half. With the pressure on, Curry aced five of his six last free throws to seal the game for Davidson.

Despite limiting Curry early, the red hot shooter stunned John Thompson III’s Hoyas as Davidson danced into the Sweet 16.

Curry finished with 30 points on 8-of-21 shooting with five 3-pointers, five assists, three rebounds and three steals. Curry’s backcourt partner Jason Andrews added 20 points and five assists.

Next up, Davidson traveled to Detroit to face the Wisconsin Badgers in the Sweet 16.

Al Horford has high praise for Steph Curry’s 2016 game-winner vs. Thunder

Al Horford called Steph Curry’s 2016 game-winner over the Thunder “one of the toughest shots ever!”

During the NBA’s hiatus due to coronavirus, watching highlights from the past has become popular amongst players across the league. Spencer Dinwiddie, Bam Adebayo, Stephen Curry and others have admitted to watching their old film while the season is on hold.

Another player weighed in on a famous clip from the past. Al Horford of the Philadelphia 76ers responded on social media to Stephen Curry’s long-distance game-winner against the Oklahoma City Thunder from 2016.

The veteran big man called Curry’s dagger 3-pointer “one of the toughest shots ever!”

Via @Al_Horford on Twitter:

Curry’s tied the NBA record for 12 makes from beyond the arc — with the most important coming from 38-feet with 2.5 seconds remaining in overtime to seal Golden State’s 53rd win of the season. The two-time Most Valuable Player ended his memorable night with 46 points on 14-of-24 shooting from the field.

Even Mike Breen’s call of Curry’s game-winning shot has lived on in NBA lore.

Fast forward to the 2019-20 season; Curry has only played in five games due to a broken hand injury he suffered early in the season. His return to the court was limited to one game due to the league suspending the season. When the season resumes, Curry will have 17 games left on the calendar.
