Paying attention

Luke DeCock:

Most -- if not all -- of the hype surrounding Davidson this season has focused on Curry, whose profile continues to rise with his scoring average.

But there’s more to Davidson than Curry -- maybe not as much as there was last March, but enough to put a scare into a team like Duke on Wednesday. There’s Lovedale, the French connection of Quebec-born Max Paulhus Gosselin and Will Archambault, the coach’s son Brendan, a backup guard, and another big forward, Steve Rossiter.

The mix isn’t as polished as it was last season, but it might be starting to come together at the right time.
