Reborn Louisville overcomes Irish
The Associated Press
Published: February 29th, 2008 01:00 AM
Through the injuries and sometimes inconsistent play that sent Louisville tumbling from the polls more than two months ago, Louisville coach Rick Pitino never doubted the Cardinals would recover.
Now his team is back where Pitino thought it?d be all along: atop the Big East.
David Padgett scored a season-high 26 points and No. 13 Louisville overcame a dazzling 40-point performance from Notre Dame center Luke Harangody to post a 90-85 victory over the 17th-ranked Irish on Thursday.
?We never got disappointed in December,? Pitino said. ?We never got down and we certainly aren?t going to hug ourselves now.?

Harvard is recruiting a guy from my school, PG Brandon Curry, just dropped 30 on East Meck last night, and Amaker was at the game.

My goodness, I can't wait for UNC-Duke. Especially with a healthy Lawson I hope we take them behind the woodshed.

ESPN - For first time in six decades, no seniors on AP All-America team - Men's College Basketball

For first time in six decades, no seniors on AP All-America team

North Carolina's Tyler Hansbrough and Kansas State's Michael Beasley were unanimous selections to The Associated Press' All-America team Monday. For the first time, no senior was chosen.

Beasley and Kevin Love of UCLA made it two straight years there were two freshmen chosen. Sophomore D.J. Augustin of Texas and junior Chris Douglas-Roberts rounded out the selections, shutting out the seniors.

The AP started choosing All-America teams after the 1947-48 season, and for the next six decades there was at least one member of the senior class on every first team.

Until this group.

Robin, Brook to enter NBA draft after two seasons at Stanford

The Lopez twins are going pro together.

Stanford sophomore Robin Lopez is joining his 7-foot brother Brook in entering the NBA draft.

The brothers made their announcement to The Associated Press on Monday through mother, Deborah Ledford.

It was expected that Brook would declare himself eligible for the NBA, but Robin was not so certain. They were prep stars in Fresno, Calif., and came to Stanford together. Now they will depart as a tandem, too.

Sophomore sensation Curry returning to Davidson

DETROIT -- It's safe to say that at some point watching Stephen Curry nail NBA 3-pointers against Wisconsin, LeBron James thought about penetrating and dishing to the Davidson sharpshooter.

He and any other NBA players will have to wait.

After Kansas ended Davidson's dream run in the NCAA tournament on Sunday, Curry said that he will return to school for his junior season.

"I'm definitely coming back," he said. "I don't think I'm ready."
