Last night's stage belonged to Stephen Curry, unfortunately our guy Anthony Davis happened to be part of the collateral damage of Curry's 40 points, 9 assist, 5 rebound night. Curry also capped off a 20-point comeback by making one of the most improbable shots you will ever see. On the biggest stage, against a future MVP, Curry leaned back and hoisted a final shot over the redwood tree that is Anthony Davis.
The Warriors would go on to win the game in overtime and take a commanding 3-0 lead in the series. Curry and the Warriors will win this battle against Davis and his crew, but I imagine Davis will be on the winning end of these sooner than later. Also, why did Monty Williams not foul?
Tweet(s) of the night/morning
Monty Williams will be a perfect replacement for Johnny Jones at LSU after next yr. Keeps their tradition of coaches doing less with more.

- The Wildcats have fully concluded spring practice and Mark Stoops was very happy with the results. For me, the best parts about it were Coach Stoops saying that they were very consistent all spring and that routine plays finally look routine
Kentucky Basketball
- Today is decision day for target Malik Newman, he will be deciding at 1:00 PM eastern today. Popular opinion has him picking Mississippi State over Kentucky but you can never count out Coach Calipari (just ask Terrence Jones). A Sea of Blue will have a story soon after the decision
- Jamal Murray will not visit Kentucky this weekend, Murray is a 2016 target that is likely to reclassify to 2015 and would provide a HUGE boost to the incoming class. The reason for Murray not coming is simply that he wants to take a step back and make sure he is doing the right things. Honestly though, this is not a bad sign for BBN, do we really need him to see the campus to decide he wants to play at UK? Kyle Wiltjer did not need to come in order to commit.
Other Kentucky Sports
- The Bat Cats will face number five ranked and SEC leading Florida in a 3-game set starting tonight. The Cats swept rival UT last weekend and hope to keep those winning ways up this weekend.
- The UK Softball team begins a big 3-game series with #14 Georgia tonight in what is the final home stand for our ladies in blue.
College Basketball
- Stanley Johnson is leaving Arizona to pursue NBA dreams. Johnson average 14 points and 7 rebounds for the other Wildcats in 2014 and will leave a 6'7" hole in their lineup.
- Oklahoma City is looking for a new NBA coach and many are saying they have centered around UCONN's Kevin Ollie and Florida's Billy Donovan. Sources are saying that Kevin Ollie will likely pass on the opportunity and stay at UCONN.
- Kansas wants to play us in the non-conference, per a poll of the SB Nation writers and fans.
College Football
- Mark Emmert has weighed in on the freshman ineligibility issue that the Big Ten has sparked. He says it is worthy of a debate.
- The NFL Draft is less than a week away and UK could have three draft picks, including our first 1st rounder since 2003 in Bud Dupree.

Other Random News
- While I do not watch the show, apparently Grey's Anatomy killed off their star last night. Doctor McDreamy, as he is called was killed off the show, sparking national outrage among housewives and teenage girls. Even our very own "succeed and proceed" creator Rene' Cornette was distraught over it.
UK didn't win the National Championship and McDreamy was killed on "Grey's Anatomy." I don't deserve this.
