Gabe had an amazing game when he hit 18-18, but I don't think he had a streak as long as Seth's.

Hildo had to have something...the guy was a career 90% + FT shooter

Actually Hildo's career average was .882. It appears that Hess is the leader in that category at .898. I'm positive one of them has the longest streak. It's a long time ago, but I seem to recall Hildo setting it, and am pretty sure it was Hess's record he broke. It might be necessary to actually look at game box scores to confirm this. Something tells me we don't have that data entered in any software that could pull it up.

[SuperJon]

Karl Hess has the career streak of made free throws with 67. They're going back and researching box score by box score to see if anyone else has broken it.

[olldflame]

Thanks SJ. I'm guessing it is Vince checking this. I don't think he needs to look any farther than Hildo, and probably 93-94. The more I think about it, I believe they will find he had a long streak, but came up short of the record. The other player who may have a long streak is GOAT (AKA Larry Jackson).

Looks like Seth is only half way there. If he keeps it going, it will probably be close as to whether he has enough chances this year.

LU’s Curry keeps cool despite attention

By Chris Lang

CONWAY, S.C. — Seth Curry’s forehead wrinkled as he contemplated the question. When was the last time he took a pure, uncontested jumper in a game?
“The only time I get a wide-open shot is off an offensive rebound, or something like that, like it’s on accident,” Curry said after Sunday’s practice at Coastal Carolina’s Kimbel Arena.
Curry is used to this, of course. His family’s reputation preceded his debut at Liberty, and after opponents got a look at a few early-season game films, the reaction from opposing coaches was unilateral, as in, that guy isn’t going to be the one who beats us.
Yet Curry still has managed to get his points and remain the nation’s leading freshman scorer deep into the season. The by-product of all the attention Curry garners can be seen in the stat lines of Anthony Smith and Kyle Ohman, who combined to shoot 11-for-17 from 3-point range Saturday night at Charleston Southern.

Thought you guys would like that.

And, for the record, the number I posted a week or so ago about the free throws was wrong.

Karl Hess and Hildebrand hold record for consecutive free throws at 37.

Seth is at 36.

[SuperJon]

And Seth/Steph are supposed to be on SportscenterU tonight on ESPNU. It's on right now. I'm not sure when during this episode it'll be.

Ok, it was just Seth, but all they talked about was Steph.

We got to see Samantha though.

I hope Seth doesn't know. he's in such a rhythm on the line it probably won't matter, but knowing his next FT is for a record could put a bit more pressure on him.

[jinxy]

he knows, there was one he sort of short armed against CSU Saturday night and bounced off the front rim and back and he kind of breathed out then wiped his forehead. It wont bother him, good shooters dont hear anythign when they go to the line. I guarantee he will be over 90% next year. He had a rough start this year or he would be around 90 now.

if you click on the Hubert Davis video he mentions seth as one of his players to watch during the bracketbuster weekend

[SuperJon]

I'd like to point something out that may have been said before, but is worth looking at again.

Seth was born August 23, 1990. That means he was 17 starting school this year, and didn't turn 18 until school had been in session a week.

Seth is scoring this many points, being this effective, having this much of an impact, and he's the age of a high school senior.

[Rooster Cogburn]

Good point SJ. This is a KID in every sense of the word, and yet, he is so clutch

[whmatthews]

Stephen talking about Seth and Liberty on Sportscenter right now.

wow. seth was born a day before me.

Curry brothers continue to amaze
By Stephen A. Smith

Let's be real: Not so long ago, whenever it came to thinking about college basketball, Davidson and Liberty never came to mind. It took work to find out that one college was located near Charlotte, N.C., the other in a Virginia town bearing the uncomfortable name of Lynchburg. Neither school had been a real national championship contender -- Davidson hadn't been in the top 10 since 1969 (and Liberty only joined Division I in 1988).

At least that was the case before.

Nowadays, Davidson boasts an All-American named Stephen Curry. A few hours up the road, there's another Curry, a little brother named Seth, who might finish this season as the nation's leading freshman scorer.

[flamesbball84]

the picture in the article is showing seth carry/palm the ball. you think they would have picked a better picture than that...

[TDDance234]

Pretty cool to pull up ESPN.com and on the front page, see this:

If/when we play Davidson I will make a sign:

Our Curry is better than yours

I like the way you think

comment from stephen smith article

think people blow them out of proportion and overhype them just because of 1 or 2 good runs vs. big teams or on the big stage. Yes what Stephen Curry did in the tournament last season was pretty nuts, but the fact that people are still overhyping him and his brother is a joke. They all take 25-30 shots a game, maybe 6 or 7, commit 5 or 6 turnovers a game, get one nice dunk or one nice shot and its all about them on Sportscenter top plays. I think its just ESPN and the medias way of trying to overhype an african american family full of successful players. ESPN is trying to create the black version of "The Barry Brothers", but its stupid to say the Curry Brothers are better than the Barrys. The Barrys put up decent numbers in the NBA for a long period of time, and contributed to NBA championship teams. The Curry brothers at best jack up 30 shots a game for mid-majors in college.

[thepostman]

even though i disagree with a lot of the comment...the one thing I do agree with is the hype machine that is espn...when they really fall in love with somebody or something or a certain team...they really hype them up and over do it...they have done that with the curry's...but, i can't complain...its getting liberty's name out there

[SuperJon]

That's Steph talking about Seth and the family.

Curry supplies Flames’ firepower

By Darryl Slater
Published: March 1, 2009

LYNCHBURG One night last fall, Seth Curry and two of his teammates walked back to their dorm at Liberty University after going to see a movie. Suddenly, a man popped out of the darkness and asked Curry for his autograph. The guy held an oversized action shot of Curry. "My cousin loves you," he said.

An autograph seeker? This never happened to him before. To his dad? Sure. To his brother? All the time now. But Curry was just a few games into his freshman season and didn't expect this type of attention.

"It kind of scared me," he said. "I didn't know what was going on. It was real shocking."
