This game is a real tall task for anyone. They did lose to UMass (albeit at UMass) so I suppose anything is possible. I saw pieces of that game on tv---one of the uglier games I've seen this year. Dayton missed any number of layups and made many turnovers. But that may have been the one stinker that happens to every good team.

After beating us by 30+ last year, maybe they'll be overconfident, maybe their starters will all come down with stomach flu, maybe they will foul us on every possession and we'll continue to shoot 80+ % from the line. But I wouldn't bet that any of those "maybes" happening.

Don't scrimp on the optimism.

Ok....how's this? We haven't lost 2 games in a row since Nov 21 when Houston beat us in the holiday tournament. No sense breaking that streak at this point in the season!

This is a game where the supporting cast: Grayer, Kier, Otis, Boyd all have to play great and contribute in points, rebounding, and defense in order for us to pull the upset. Moore and Jenkins will show up, all comes down to what these 4 guys can bring to the game.

Not many giving Mason a chance in this game. This one is really tough for me to call. I can see it going like the Richmond game for Mason and I can see it going like the St. Bonnies game. Should be a good game.

Is overconfidence really an issue when you're a 12-point underdog?
