Off the Bench - A look at what’s going on in the world of Triangle sports

So do you think that the ACC is now regretting their decision not to recruit Davidson’s Stephen Curry?  You know Virginia Tech is… The Wildcats are headed to the Sweet 16 tonight at 7:10pm and the Hokies are headed back to Blacksburg after Ole Miss knocked them out of the NIT last night.  Stephen originally wanted to go to VaTech but he wasn’t offered a scholarship.

Stephen Curry has shown his true colors in the tournament and has been shooting 49% and 45% from the 3 pt line.  The kid is a baller and has averaged over 30 ppg in the past 3 post season games.

Curry is originally from Charlotte and his dad was Dell Curry, who played at Virginia Tech in school and went on to play for the Charlotte Hornets.  He is currently the Director of Basketball Relations for the Bobcats.  Both of the Curry men are not the only atheletes in the family.  Stephen’s mom, Sonya Curry, played volleyball at VTech.  His younger brother, Seth, currently plays basketball at Charlotte Christian and will be playing at Liberty next year.  To see how big of a fan he is of his older brother, check out WCNC’s interview with Seth Curry from yesterday.

Tony Kornheiser talked to Stephen on Monday on PTI and even asked about his feelings towards Virginia Tech and if any of the ACC teams have expressed regret after not recruiting him.  Check it out-
