There is one tinge of irony to the weekend. Southern Conference organizers hoped that Curry would stay at Davidson for his senior year and become the star attraction at this weekend's tournament.
Instead, Curry went pro a year early. Yet he's going to end up being in Charlotte anyway.
“I found out this was going to be a possibility in the fall,” Curry said, “when the schedules all came out. My one trip to Charlotte all season comes at tournament time. It's pretty funny. It's going to be great for me, of course, but it's going to be great for a lot of people besides me, too. A weekend like this just shows how big basketball really is in Charlotte, and how well the city can showcase such a great sport so many of us love.”
Cremins: “Is it inconvenient? In a lot of ways, yes it is.” Iamarino: “I would have preferred if the Warriors to come to Charlotte on a different weekend. Guess I didn't have David Stern's ear on that one.” Stephen: “I'm putting the pressure on my Davidson boys. They better win Friday so I can see them in person Saturday.”

Cranston is a good writer, but,
"Curry-less Wildcats (16-14, 11-7) fell to the middle of the pack this season" should read,"The Wildcats, who lost Curry and two two-year starters, fell to the..." As written, his story is not untrue. Losing MPG, a three-year starter, was a HUGE reason for the drop off this year.
