Game 16, 2024-25: Dayton (1/8)

[MikeUMA]

Dayton in the next one.

Flyers, who came into today with the A-15's best NET (44), took a resume hit today with a 20-point loss at GW (NET 151). Dayton went in favored by 9½ but shot 35% and never led. GW also helped the cause with hitting a season-high 15 threes.

If Dayton wants to secure a bid in March, there's no way in hell they can lose this one to us.

Peacock has the rights, and they do not offer a free limited trial.

Let's see.... Dayton is the best team in the conference and just lost a bad game.

Umass stinks.


The math on this is not very good.

Since it's our last season in the A10, and last time Dayton probably comes to AMerst, it should be required that all who attend wear a sweater vest to honor the Flyers

Quick, run over to Target - I am sure the 15 or 20 they have in stock will accommodate everyone who will be at that game.

(sorry i could not resist that one)

Dayton travels pretty well. Probably more Dayton fans than ours

^ After reading those 2 articles, we may lose by 25 on Wednesday. I usually check to see the lineups for the other team, but I'm not going to bother for this one.

. Make 3s
. Limit turnovers
. Get rebounds
. Play sound, fundamental defense
. Make free throws
. Make your layups

I may save these points and put them out for every game. Of course, these are true for most teams, but we generally fail on too many of them.

Any other advice you want to give?
Dayton’s struggles in its last 4 games sound similar ours.
“ UMass is ranked #224 in KenPom and #266 in the NET. This is a must win Quad 4 game for Dayton, which means a win does not benefit them, and a loss would be catastrophic.”

Does anyone know why the game is on Peacock instead of ESPN +?

[doubledribble]

Who on this board will be at the Dayton game tomorrow?

[69MG]

Me + 1. I choose to suffer through all of the games.
