It's finally that time of the year again. March Madness is upon us as 68 teams have now punched their tickets to the 2018 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament.
Golden State Warriors superstar point guard Stephen Curry was definitely in high spirits on Sunday when he saw his college basketball alma mater, the Davidson Wildcats, clinch an automatic bid to the NCAA tourney when they pulled off the huge 58-57 upset over the Rhode Island Rams in the Atlantic 10 Conference championship game.
Check out the video of Curry's priceless reaction from the Warriors' practice facility below, which was posted to his Instagram story.
“Ball game! We dancin’ baby! YEEEEEEEE!”
Almost 10 years ago back in the 2008 tournament, a sophomore Curry led a Cinderella 10-seed Wildcats team to victories over No. 7 Gonzaga, No. 2 Georgetown, and No. 3 Wisconsin to make it all the way to the Elite 8. Unfortunately, they suffered a heartbreaking 59-57 loss to the No. 1 Kansas Jayhawks, which was the team that eventually went on to win the entire tournament.
The dynamic scorer in Curry, who decided to forgo his senior season at Davidson to enter the 2009 NBA Draft, was selected N0. 7 overall by the Warriors and the rest is history.
Curry was not with the Warriors (51-16) on their two-game road trip after he suffered a right ankle injury earlier this week during Golden State's 110-107 victory over the San Antonio Spurs. The Warriors dropped their second consecutive game in Curry's absence on Sunday afternoon with a 109-103 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves at Target Center, which now puts Golden State 1.5 games back of the Houston Rockets for the top seed in the Western Conference playoff race.
