SPORTS: Southern Conference hoops life without Stephen Curry
Thursday, November 12th, 2009
CHATTANOOGA–David Uchiyama at the Chattanooga Times Free Press writes about the legacy of Stephen Curry, who earned all-America stripes while leading tiny Davidson to the elite eight of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament.
Curry left Davidson a year early, was drafted way up the NBA list, and now plays for Golden State.
Uchiyama talked to multiple SoCon coaches for the piece, which discusses Curry’s impact on the league.
A snip:
“Players like that graduate, he just went a year early,” Western Carolina coach Larry Hunter said. “Somebody else is going to fill those shoes this year, next year or down the road.
“Hopefully for the conference, there will be a few and they’ll come quick.”
