Davidson 82 Gonzaga 76

How did this place get so full of smoke so early in the morning? Maybe (probably not) it was the hot shooting of Gonzaga’s Steven Gray, who started his team’s first round matchup in the NCAA tournament against Davidson by going 5-5 from the land of three.

With the longest win streak in college basketball (22 games) on the line, the Wildcats fell behind Gray and the Bulldogs by 11 early in Raleigh, NC but pulled back to within five before the half.

Stephen Curry, who averaged 25.1 points per game and had 139 3-pointers this season, came out of the break smokin' himself, hitting two quick 3-pointers to keep his Wildcats in it. He then tied the game on a three with 9:47 to play, before the Wildcats took their first lead with 8:27 to play.

Gonzaga badly out rebounded Davidson for most of the game but it wasn’t enough to overcome Curry’s incredible 40 points, 30 of them in the second half. He was 14-23 from the field and 8-11 from beyond the arc.

The game went over the 141 total and Davidson covered the -1 spread..

Davidson will now put its 23-game win streak on the line against either Georgetown or UMBC in the second round of March Madness.
