March Madness: First Weekend MVP




Curry and Rice hereby name Stephen Curry the MVP of the first weekend of the NCAA tournament. Davidson is the only team that has beaten two higher seeded teams to reach the Sweet 16, and Curry has looked absolutely unreal so far. Dropping 40 on Gonzaga was absurd enough, but the perseverance he showed in fighting through a poor first half against Georgetown to bury them cold-heartedly with ridiculous threes and Ginobili/Parker/Wade/Iverson-esque drives in crunch time sealed it. He was been the single most amazing player to watch in this crazy first weekend that has made so little sense that experts like Rice and myself have seen our brackets obliterated in completely unexplainable fashion. Performances like Stephen's and wins like Davidson's are why this tournament is so amazing to watch. Stephen Curry, we salute you, in awe. Also, I like your last name.
