CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -The Southern Conference moved its basketball tournament to Charlotte in hopes that Stephen Curry would be playing in his hometown to conclude his senior year at Davidson.
Curry will indeed be in town this weekend – as a member of the Golden State Warriors.
Thanks to a scheduling quirk, Curry’s first game in Charlotte as a pro comes Saturday night – right in the middle of the SoCon’s first appearance here since 1971. It left the conference scrambling to adjust the tournament schedule so Davidson won’t be playing at the same time.
Meanwhile, Curry’s decision to leave school a year early means a wide-open race for the SoCon’s automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. Wofford, Appalachian State and College of Charleston are the top seeds.
