Loyola coach Jimmy Patsos, who is quite the character I might add, held Davidson junior Stephen Curry scoreless on Tuesday night for the first time in his collegiate career.

Even though Patsos decided to hound Curry with two player the entire night, that didn't stop the Wildcats from winning 78-48.

Here's what Patsos had to say after the game.

"We had to play against an NBA player tonight," Patsos explained. "Anybody else ever hold him scoreless? I'm a history major. They're going to remember that we held him scoreless or we lost by 30?"

Curry came into the game as the nation's leading scorer, averaging 35.0 points per game.

"If Oklahoma can't stop him, how is Loyola College going to stop him?" Patsos asked, referring to the game where Curry scored 44 points.

Curry only attempted three shots during the game, two coming with less than 15 minutes to go, but didn't seem too frustrated.

"I don't think irritate is the word. Just confused," Curry said. "When they're down by that much and still allowing us to get open shots. It kind of surprised me."

Stephen Rossiter, the brother of Siena sophomore forward Ryan Rossiter, had six points, six rebounds, six assists, two steals and two blocks in 31 minutes for Davidson.

In other local news, the University at Albany posted a 66-49 victory over Columbia on Tuesday night.

I had predicted 72-56.

UAlbany is now over .500, but with a tough Penn team coming in on Saturday.

Jerel Hastings scored 15 points off of the bench, while Tim Ambrose added 13 and Brian Connelly finished with 11.
