HOUSTON— Stanford’s big guys were no match for the small, medium and jumbo sizes of the Texas Longhorns.

Little D.J. Augustin set the tempo, 299-pound Dexter Pittman pounded and pestered Brook Lopez and the rest of the Longhorns chipped in as Texas defeated Stanford 82-62 Friday night in an NCAA South Regional semifinal.

The victory sends the Longhorns into Sunday’s regional final against the winner of the Michigan State-Memphis game.

Mixing their inside and outside games, the Longhorns (31-6) took control early. Still, they were up only 52-51 after Lopez did everything but dribble the ball up the court to rally the Cardinal (28-8).

Texas answered with a 20-3 run, punctuated by several plays that sent the heavily pro-Longhorns fans to their feet. Most were by Augustin, but Pittman also contributed by using his girth to throw Lopez off stride.

Lopez was so frustrated that on one play he was trying to signal officials to call three seconds on the humongous guy while also trying to play defense.

Lopez had 24 of Stanford’s first 48 points, but finished with 26 and 10 rebounds.

Augustin, playing before lots of family in his adopted hometown, had 21 points, seven assists and five rebounds. He scored eight points during the game-breaking run and everyone knew this one was over when he fed Damion James for a dunk so electrifying that he began celebrating on his way down.

Davidson 73, Wisconsin 56

DETROIT — Stephen Curry knocked down yet another 3, thumped his chest and pointed skyward.

Heavens yes, Davidson is marching on.

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

Davidson (29-6) extended the nation’s longest winning streak to 25. The Wildcats will play top-seeded Kansas for a trip to the Final Four.
