Raleigh, N.C. ? Stephen Curry scored 30 of his 40 points in the second half and hit the tie-breaking three-pointer with just over a minute left, leading 10th-seeded Davidson to an 82-76 win over Gonzaga on Friday in the first round of the NCAA tournament’s Midwest Regional.

Curry hit eight of 10 three-pointers, and his two free throws with 14.5 seconds left iced it for the Wildcats (27-6), who won their first NCAA game since Lefty Driesell was coach in the 1960s.

Jason Richards added 15 points for Davidson, which extended the nation’s longest winning streak to 23 games. Andrew Lovedale had 12 points, and one of his 13 rebounds came on the offensive glass, which led to Curry’s deciding three-pointer.

Butler 81, S. Alabama 61

Birmingham, Ala. – Pete Campbell hit eight three-pointers and scored 26 points, and the Bulldogs won their fourth straight first-round game to set a school record for wins.

D.J. White had 22 points in his third straight 20-point game for Indiana (25-8).

Louisville 79, Boise St. 61

Birmingham, Ala. – Earl Clark scored 15 points, and Juan Palacios had 13 as Louisville cruised to the easy victory.

The third-seeded Cardinals rushed to a 10-1 lead and Derrick Caracter’s slam made it 42-26 late in the first half.

Leading scorer David Padgett didn’t even take a shot before the break, and Louisville still breezed, helped by a dozen three-pointers.

Oklahoma 72, St. Joseph’s 64

Birmingham, Ala. – David Godbold scored a career-high 25 points, including the Sooners’ first 11 of the second half, and they survived a late rally to beat Saint Joseph’s.

Godbold and the Sooners (23-11), who had a 25-year postseason streak end last season, built a 19-point lead and watched it dissipate against a Hawks team eager to prove it belonged.

Ahmad Nivins’ putback for the Hawks made it 65-61 with 3:29 to play, then Oklahoma’s Blake Griffin scored back-to-back baskets inside to double the lead with about 2 minutes left.
