No. 24 Davidson 78, Loyola, Md. 48: No points for Stephen Curry, no problem for Davidson.
In a bizarre game that saw Curry, the nation's leading scorer, go scoreless and attempt only three shots because of constant double teams, the Wildcats still overwhelmed visiting Loyola (Md.) last night in the consolation round of the NIT Season Tip-Off.
Curry came in averaging 35 points a game, but got into early foul trouble and then seemed more than happy to defer to his teammates. With Coach Jimmy Patsos deciding to drape Curry with two defenders nearly the entire game, Curry often stood in the corner and let his teammate dominate in a 4-on-3 game.
No. 4 Pittsburgh 74, Belmont 60: Sam Young scored 33 points despite not getting his first basket until more than 11 minutes into the game and Pittsburgh's tight defense shut down visiting Belmont's outside shooting last night.
No. 8 Notre Dame 81, No. 6 Texas 80: Luke Harangody had 29 points and 13 rebounds and Notre Dame hung on to beat Texas last night in the semifinals of the EA Sports Maui Invitational.
No. 15 Marquette 85, Texas Southern 68: Jerel McNeal scored 20 points and Lazar Haywood added 18 to lead Marquette over visiting Texas Southern last night.
No. 17 Florida 86, Washington 84: Nick Calathes scored 15 of his 21 points in the second half and Florida held off a late rally to beat Washington last night in the consolation game of the CBE Classic in Kansas City, Mo.
No. 20 Villanova 71, Monmouth 48: Dante Cunningham scored 19 points, Corey Stokes added 18 and Villanova extended its winning streak to four games with a victory over visiting Monmouth last night.
