Old archive footage emerges of Steph Curry’s fantastic performances during the famous NCAA ‘March Madness’ tournament back in 2008
history on Friday with a stunning 80-76 first-round victory over John Calipari and the former blueblood No. 3 Kentucky Wildcats.
“To define their season and our season with this game, it’s the sport we’re in,” Calipari said. “It’s what we do.”But that's exactly what happened in 2023, as the Paladins upset the Cavaliers in Virginia's latest March Madness meltdown. "We just beat the University of Texas. Little ol' Abilene Christian out in West Texas built a program that went toe-to-toe with the University of Texas, and it's an incredible story," Wildcats coach Joe Golding said. "It's what March is about."
But the Wildcats haven't been the same in recent years and they might never recover from a first-round embarrassment in 2022. Nash's crew lost in the second round, but it was a sign of things to come from one of the NBA's best pure point guards.The Eagles became the talk of the country in just their second season of NCAA Division I postseason eligibility.
“If we played them 100 times, they’d probably beat us 99 times,” FDU coach Tobin Anderson said. “Play them 100 times, we have one win. But tonight’s the one we had to be unique, we had to be unorthodox. We had to make it tough on them, just be different.”“Man, I can’t even explain it,” Sean Moore said. “I’m still in shock right now. I can’t believe it. It’s crazy. But it feels amazing.
