Stephen Curry, the NCAA’s leading scorer, had a rough night from the field but found his groove in time to lead #23 Davidson past West Virginia in the Jimmy V Classic at Madison Square Garden.  Curry missed 12 of his first 13 three-point attempts, but heated up over the final five minutes, scoring 13 of Davidson’s final 15 points to finish with 27 in the 68-65 win.

Hmmm, looks like that whole “dominating the NCAA tournament” thing last spring wasn’t a fluke for Curry.  I guess I should probably learn where Davidson is one of these days.  **Googles Davidson** Huh.  North Carolina.  The Wildcats.  Learn something new every day.

NBA – It was apparently the best night of the NBA season so far. I may or may not have missed it entirely.  Whoops.

MLB – BREAKING!  CC Sabathia is reportedly signing a 7-year, $160M deal with the Yankees.  I don’t understand why it’s a big deal that this is breaking news.  Nobody else was going to pay that much, so it’s not a surprise.  And the season still doesn’t start until April.  So please pardon my dismissive wanking motion.

We're at halftime in the last of the Elite Eight contests and three of the #1 seeds have advanced to San Antonio. Just as Clark Kellogg predicted. Wait, what? If the Kansas Jayhawks can hold on to defeat upset-minded Davidson, the Buckeye wordsmith will be hailed as a modern-day Nostradamus. Or at least a contemporary Miss Cleo. Anyway, 20 minutes of basketball will determine if Stephen Curry will be watching the Final Four on TV with some hot Davidson co-eds (pic courtesy of Busted Coverage), or if his squad of cagers will be taking a field trip to the Alamo.

Oh yeah, I meant to post earlier predicting a Memphis win, but I forgot. Probably because I didn't think they would win until the game was over. -KD

Tiny Davidson College trounced the mighty Wisconsin Badgers 73-56 to advance to the Midwest Regional final of the NCAA Tournament and thoroughly spoil my weekend. Instead of repeating "serenity now" in stressful situations, my new mantra will be "Big Ten teams do not cover" because, well, they can't even fucking win. I'm sorry, this isn't about me or how much money I wagered on this game, it's about the little school that could and their star player:

On the red trim at the bottom of his shoes, Stephen Curry has written in black marker, “I can do all things.” 

Where the hell did this guy go to camp? We just had to sew our names in our clothes at summer camp, but I like the way Curry thinks. Forget the Big Ten maxim, I'm going to begin reciting "I can do all things" on my way through life and let a judge decide if I've gone too far.

Oh yeah, Michigan State lost to Memphis 92-74:

“It just got out of hand so quickly,” Spartans coach Tom Izzo said.

Oooh, that's a good aphorism, too. I can use that on the witness stand. -KD

Well, that was terrible for my heart. Fourth-seeded Maryland just survived #13 Davidson 82-70, but not before my blood pressure took a year off of my life. Davidson's Stephen Curry — who of course I had never heard of until today because I know nothing about college basketball — scored 30 points before fouling out near the end of the game, and Maryland's balanced attack survived the lights-out shooting that the Wildcats put up in the first half.

Why do I care about Maryland? Because, um, I picked them to go to the Final Four.

Hey, stop laughing! Everyone and their mother picked Florida to make it out of that region. And when everybody is absolutely certain that a team is going to make it, that's when you're supposed to go the other way, right? Right?

Oh, fuck off. I said I didn't know anything about college basketball.
