DAVIDSON, N.C. -- On the heels of being named Southern Conference Player of the Year by the media, Stephen Curry of the Davidson men's basketball team has been selected to the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) District 5 First Team as announced Tuesday afternoon.
Selected and voted on by member coaches of the NABC, these student-athletes represent the finest basketball players across America. The 150 student-athletes, from 15 districts, are now eligible for the State Farm Division I All-America teams to be announced on Saturday, April 5, at the 2008 NABC Convention in San Antonio, Texas.
A sophomore from Charlotte, N.C., Curry led the SoCon in scoring and ranks fifth nationally with an average of 25.3 points per game. The five-time league Player of the Week and three-time Player of the Month also ranks among national leaders in free-throw percentage (8th/89.4), three-pointers made (3rd/125) and three-pointers per game (3rd/4.3).
Named to both the Wooden and Naismith midseason lists, Curry hit the 20-point plateau 21 times this season and the 30-point mark eight times, including a career-high 41 points at UNC Greensboro, Feb. 13. To go along with his scoring totals, the 6-3 shooting guard has hit five or more three-pointers in a contest 14 times on the campaign.
Joining Curry on the first team were four student-athletes from the Atlantic Coast Conference, Tyler Hansbrough (North Carolina), DeMarcus Nelson (Duke), Sean Singletary (Virginia) and Ty Lawson (North Carolina).

About the National Association of Basketball Coaches
Located in Kansas City, Mo., the NABC was founded in 1927 by Forrest “Phog” Allen, the legendary basketball coach at the University of Kansas. Allen, a student of James Naismith, the inventor of basketball, organized coaches into this collective group to serve as Guardians of the Game. The NABC currently claims nearly 5,000 members consisting primarily of university and college men's basketball coaches. All members of the NABC are expected to uphold the core values of being a Guardian of the Game by bringing attention to the positive aspects of the sport of basketball and the role coaches play in the academic and athletic lives of today's student-athletes. The four core values of being a Guardian of the Game are advocacy, leadership, service and education. Additional information about the NABC, its programs and membership, can be found at www.nabc.com.
