DAVIDSON, N.C. -- Winthrop's men's basketball team kept it close for 10 minutes against Davidson on Friday night in sold-out Belk Arena, but the last 30 were anything but, as the 21st-ranked Wildcats buried the Eagles, 97-70.
It wasn't just Stephen Curry who did in the Eagle, even though the nation's leading scorer produced as quiet a 30-point, 13-assist effort as you could want. A lot of guys had a hand in it."But he was the facilitator," Winthrop coach Randy Peele said of Curry, who hit half of his 16 shots, nine of 10 free throws and probably could have had 20 assists if his teammates had been a little more sure-handed in the first half.
