If anyone isn't watching Kansas vs. Davidson, turn it on.

The teams started with bad shooting percentages, but now it's The Stephan Curry vs. Mario Chalmers Show. The way it's shaping up, this could go down as one of the all-time NCAA duels.

If there's a better thread for this that I missed, put it in there.

Stephan MF'ing Curry. They're probably still going to lose, but he just nailed a loooooong three pointer to bring Davidson within two.

I really hope Davidson wins.

Curry with a three to make it 59-57 kansas. I small an upset.

57 seconds left. Kansas ball.

16 seconds and Davidson ball. Down two.

WOW what a game.

16.8 and Davidson has the ball.

Kansas played not to lose and forced a bad shot.

Curry has to shoot this.

Um, can I be a college scout now? What kind of dipshits wouldn't recruit Dell Curry's kid? What kind of conversation did the scouting staff have with the coaches at the major colleges?

Coach: "Who should we recruit this year?"

Scout: "Well, there's this kid who can nail it from anywhere and he's the son of one of the greatest shooters in NBA history. Good player, stable family, good head on his shoulders, totally unflappable. But I don't think we should sign him."

Um, can I have that job? My first step every year will be to see if there any kids whose daddies played in the NBA. Might be a good idea, I don't know.

Can Curry win it with 16 seconds left?

What an incredible game.

KU dodged a bullet, but Curry HAS to shoot that last shot.

Great defense at the end by Kansas, but Davidson had guys open at the rim.

Anticlimactic ending.

They should have had Curry off-ball, with a double or triple screen. Let him come off of it. If he's still covered, there are going to be lots of players open for easy shots.

That was disappointing that they didn't try to get closer to the basket and tie the game rather than go for the long three. But they played a great game and gave Kansas all they could possibly handle.

The kid who shot it at the end had an open look, he was just way behind the three-point line.

They showed a stat that Curry shot 9 for 25; it seemed like he did a lot better than that, but I guess he missed a lot. He seemed to be nailing it whenever Davidson had to have a basket. Really strong step-back shooter.

Hindsight is 20/20. Curry has grown about 4 inches in the last 2 years, so why would you recruit a 5'10'' guard who probably weighs 140 pounds soak and wet?

If you can shoot, you can shoot.

And, oh, by the way: IT'S DELL CURRY'S KID! IT'S DELL CURRY'S MF-KING KID!!!

Yeah, they must have mentioned that about 500,000 times this season.

So? MJ's kid sucks, does that mean colleges have to recruit him b/c he's MJ's kid?

For anyone who's wondering why I'm freaking out it being Dell Curry's kid:

Dell Curry was a skinny-ish 6'5", a career back-up guard, yet he still scored in double figures in 11 of his NBA seasons, including 10 straight from 1988-1997. He's among the All-Time NBA leaders in both three pointers made and three point field-goal percentage. He's probably still the all-time leading scorer for Charlotte, although I'd have to check. He was a Sixth-Man award winner. He played on crummy teams, but he was unquestionably a winner.

Why no one recruited his kid is a true mystery. No one had a scholarship available for Dell Curry's kid? It's Dell Curry's kid!

All I'm saying is: no one saw this coming? Not a single big-name school had an extra scholarship sitting there? He can't possibly have suddenly become this good. Hell, he was fantastic last year, let alone this set of performances.

3 star recruit. Only major university to go after him was Virginia Tech.
