DETROIT — On the red trim at the bottom of his shoes, Stephen Curry has written in black marker, "I can do all things."

Yes, yes he can.

And because of him, Davidson is marching on.

Curry scored more than 30 points for a third straight game, and the 10th-seeded Wildcats pulled off another stunner last night, rolling over third-seeded Wisconsin, 73-56, to advance to the finals of the Midwest Regional.

Little Davidson has gotten so big, even LeBron James is on the bandwagon, snagging a seat a few rows behind the Wildcats bench.

"It just shows what we're doing here at Davidson," Curry said. "We got guys that are in the spotlight and they're coming to our game and watching us play. It's pretty cool to give him something to be happy about and cheer about and just entertain him."

Curry, the son of former NBA sharpshooter Dell Curry, outscored the Badgers all by himself in the second half, 22-20. He finished with 33 points on 11-of-22 shooting, including six 3-pointers.

Add in his 30-point effort against Maryland in last year's NCAA tournament, and Curry joins Clyde Lovellette of Kansas, Jerry Chambers of Utah and Glenn Robinson of Purdue as the only players to go over 30 in their first four career NCAA tournament games.

Davidson (29-6) extended the nation's longest winning streak to 25. The Wildcats will try to make it 26 tomorrow, when they play Kansas for a trip to the Final Four.

This marked the second time in three tournaments that a double-digit seed got this far. In 2006, 11th-seeded George Mason reached the Final Four. It's the furthest Davidson has gotten since 1969, when Lefty Driesell's squad got to the East Regionals before falling to North Carolina.

The nation got an idea of what Curry can do last weekend, when he scored 40 against Gonzaga and added 30 against Georgetown.

But big, brawny Wisconsin (31-5) was supposed to be different. The Badgers were holding opponents to 53.9 points, best in the nation.

The Wildcats shot 49 percent from the floor, and were 12 of 24 from 3-point range. Jason Richards had 11 points and 13 assists, and Andrew Lovedale added 12 points. The game was tied 36-all at halftime.

"Michael did a pretty good job of chasing Curry and trying to force some things," Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan said. "He made some tough shots. But so did some of the other guys."

KANSAS 72, VILLANOVA 57

DETROIT — Russell Robinson drove down the left side of the court and tossed the ball off the glass to Brandon Rush, who slammed home the carom.

And to think Rush said it was a bad pass.

"I wasn't expecting that at all," he said.

But even when Kansas is off, its jaw-dropping talent is too much.

Rush scored 16 points and Robinson had 15 as top-seeded Kansas (34-3) toyed with No. 12-seeded Villanova (22-13) to earn a spot in the Midwest Regional final.

Kansas coach Bill Self is in the regional finals for the fifth time — at three schools — since 2000 and is a win away from no longer being regarded as the best coach without a Final Four on his resume.

"We've knocked on the door a few times," Self said.

Kansas slammed four alley-oop passes in the opening 9 minutes and made seven 3-pointers to take a 41-22 lead at halftime.

"The 3s hurt us early," Villanova coach Jay Wright said. "When a team that good is making those kind of shots, it is going to be tough."
