NCAA All-First Weekend Team

Stephen Curry

30 points, five assists vs. Georgetown; 40 points, five steals vs. Gonzaga. If they gave out a first-and-second-round Most Outstanding Player award, Curry would've been a lock to win it.

Scottie Reynolds

21 points, four rebounds vs. Clemson; 25 points, eight rebounds, five assists vs. Siena. Reynolds has been the best player on the floor for two straight games; is there any way he can keep it up against Kansas?

A.J. Abrams

26 points, 6-of-10 threes vs. Austin Peay; 26 points, 6-of-10 threes vs. Miami. Another game, another six treys: Why Miami didn't put more of a defensive emphasis on Abrams is beyond me.

Kevin Love

20 points, nine rebounds, four blocks vs. Miss. Valley State; 19 points, 11 rebounds, seven blocks vs. Texas A&M. Add "block machine" and "fadeaway jumper artiste" to potential descriptions of the Bruins' super-frosh.

Joe Alexander

14 points, eight rebounds vs. Arizona; 22 points, 11 rebounds, three blocks vs. Duke. Breakout star of the Big East tournament is turning into the breakout star of the NCAA tournament, too. Alexander earned plenty of new fans by insulting Duke, too.

Courtney Lee

15 points, nine rebounds, four assists vs. Drake; 29 points, seven rebounds, three steals vs. San Diego. Lee's pro-level game made the difference in the second-round Cinderella clash.
