Elon last night

Fourth game in eight days. Third league game in five. Don’t mind us. Just coming through.

Burlington: Twenty seconds later, Curry tossed in the first bucket in what became a 39-point pile as Davidson, the gold standard of Southern Conference men’s basketball, buried Elon 83-68 to polish off another victory Wednesday night at Belk Arena.

“We couldn’t guard him. He almost single-handedly beat us by himself, really,” Elon forward Ola Atoyebi said of Curry. “We just let him play. We weren’t physical enough on him. We let him get going, and once he gets going ... .”

By now, most of America probably knows how that statement ends.

Charlotte: There are times when Davidson guard Stephen Curry simply takes charge of a basketball game and you sense that the other team really doesn’t have a say in the matter.

Will Bryan: Steph did his thing again. It actually made a message boarder eek that he’s back (he’s back?!?). Dagger three at the end of the half off a 50-50 ball that made new Elon assistant Wes Miller slam his clipboard and Bob McKillop nod.
