Curry is too much for the Badgers

DETROIT -- On the red trim at the bottom of his shoes, Stephen Curry has written in black marker, “I can do all things.”
Yes he can.
And because of him, Davidson is marching on.
Curry scored more than 30 points for a third consecutive game and the 10th-seeded Wildcats pulled off another stunner Friday night, rolling over third-seeded Wisconsin, 73-56, to advance to the finals of the Midwest Regional.
Curry, the son of former NBA sharpshooter Dell Curry, outscored the Badgers all by himself in the second half, 22-20.
He finished with 33 points on 11-of-22 shooting, including six three-point baskets.
Add in his 30-point effort against Maryland in last year’s NCAA tournament, and Curry joins Clyde Lovellette of Kansas, Jerry Chambers of Utah and Glenn Robinson of Purdue as the only players to go over 30 in their first four career NCAA tournament games.
Davidson (29-6) extended the nation’s longest winning streak to 25. The Wildcats will try to make it 26 Sunday when they play top-seeded Kansas for a trip to the Final Four. The Jayhawks defeated Villanova, 72-57.
Wisconsin (31-5) was holding opponents to 53.9 points, best in the nation.
Their three-point defense was even stingier; in the second round last weekend, Kansas State didn’t manage a basket from long range.
But the Wildcats shot 49% from the field, and were 12 of 24 from three-point range.
