DAVIDSON, N.C. -- The list of postseason accolades continues to grow for Davidson's Stephen Curry as Sports Illustrated recently named him to its All-America second team.
A sophomore from Charlotte, N.C., Curry led the SoCon in scoring and ranks fifth nationally with an average of 25.3 points per game. The five-time league Player of the Week and three-time Player of the Month also ranks among national leaders in free-throw percentage (8th/89.4), three-pointers made (3rd/125) and three-pointers per game (3rd/4.3).
Named to both the Wooden and Naismith midseason lists, Curry hit the 20-point plateau 21 times this season and the 30-point mark eight times, including a career-high 41 points at UNC Greensboro, Feb. 13.
