Game 26: University of Dayton, Wednesday, February 14th, 7 PM, MASN

Concur, he could have brought the walk-ons on when Otis was shooting his FTs at about 1:36.

Other than that, I really am liking the Batman and Robin partnership Otis and Kier seem to be developing at the 1 and 2. Can't wait to see what that looks like next year.

Otis, wow.

Dayton wearing road blues on Valentine's Day? No wonder they lost; they should have worn red.

Nice job with the Kiss-Cam tonight.

Did anyone win the Diamond stud from Boone & Sons?

Ok I’ll gladly eat crow. Thought we would get worked by Dayton but that was one of the team’s best performances of the season. Livingston, Calixte and Greene are my game MVPs. Haven’t looked at the box score yet but Javon seemed to always be in the mix grabbing rebounds. Calixte keeps showing improvement and somehow held his own with Cunningham and finally Otis keeps taking it to another level. We thought he may have plateaued earlier in the season and boy were we wrong. Fun game, we played a team that actually plays worse defense than us. Did Grant not scout our team at all?! Very weird game plan, or maybe he had no plan at all.

Also vcu lost again

Hmmm, why doesn't it say "show ignored content" at the bottom of the thread???

PMP. DJ3 and masonlawyer - greetings from Jack Tempchin's dad. I apologize that he was out of position on the rebound with 27 seconds to go tonight - it was tough to see. Jack - I love you, but your positioning reflects very poorly on Paulsen. Do you think your team needs a new coach? I love you - no matter your response. Make sure you get your proper rest tonight.

Anthony Grant is not happy

Anthony Grant may end up being Dayton’s Paul Hewitt

 

[TweederGMU]

That felt sooooo good laying that smack down to them! Its clicking for Kier.... great time for the team to be on a roll!

Wonder how much Jollay lost betting on Dayton

I don't think he's going to be quite that bad...somewhere between Paul Hewitt and Brian Gregory, I think.

I'm looking to our south, though, and hoping Rhoades is the PH of Richmond.

Random side note- Does anyone know anything about buying single game tickets to the A10 tourney? Not looking to pay 150 for the full session. How much will single games go for/what kind of seats should we expect?

Last year, tickets to Mason's A10 Tourney game vs. Fordham in Pittsburgh were going for $10-$15 on StubHub. All seats were general admission for the PIGs and 1st-Round. Not sure what will happen in DC. See you at CapOne Arena in March.

Coach Dave coached his a** off tonight. He was yelling, spitting, and sweating all over the court. I watched him several times shouting at players on defense when to rotate, switch out on picks, and leave no man undefended. The whole team is working hard and it's coming together. Keep it going boys in Green n' gold!

 

[gmutom]

What a fun night. Trying to remember the last time we had a game where everything seemed to come so easily even tough it obviously didn't. I wasn't even worried when we got the big lead, because I knew Dave would use the Fordham debacle as a teaching moment to let the players know never to let up.

There was one disappointment in that Jay Gruden and his wife were sitting behind the Dayton bench to support their son, but for some reason Anthony Grant decided not to put him in even for mop-up duty. Just seemed strange.

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

So, Gruden isn't in the "Friends of Anthony Grant" club then?

Credit to Patriot 99 from the old vcu days for coming up with that masterpiece.

Glad I forgot about this one...might have lost an s-ton.

Tried this thing where we asked questions to an opposing team's writer. Sully (@sullymygoodname on twitter) is one of the more active Dayton writers/tilters and he was gracious enough to take time to answer our questions here. Check it out and let me know what you think:

Quid pro quo - I answered some questions for the Flyers fans here. Check it out if you're interested:

Thanks for doing this, Petey. Can Sully provide a post-game write up? Would love to hear some more condescending remarks on how a team that 'many forget is even in the A-10" kicked the crap out of his Dayton Flyers. Was his write-up constantly smug and poorly written or am I wrong? You're doing great though!

I love you too! But what is a Jack Tempechin?
