Taj79 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Tonight, Dayton is at Davidson on ESPN2 at 9 EST/8CST. Dayton favored by two. Trap game. Dayton cannot afford to look ahead to VCU Wednesday night at the Triple D. Couldl be a very close and interesting game; Dayton has chunked things up before (see @ Umass). Saturday the big one is VCU at Rhode Island at 2pm/1pm also on ESPN2. Friday's result will play into this. A Dayton loss takes the pressure off VCU for a must-win. Rhodey already needs it more for resume building and to remain a decent lock for a double bye in Pittsburgh. VCU is going good right now; luckily it is not senior night in Kingston to add to the emotion. Expect a sell-out, raucous house, and about four Hurley heart attacks. Richmond tips at Fordham same time but on NBCSN. Fordham is hot, with winning three in a row. Richmond is as motivated as Rhodey is. If Chartouny is still out,not good for Fordham. Even with him I see a Richmond win in the offing. Then us and the Joeys on NBCSN at 430/330. A win locks #11. Sunday is nothing to get excited about as far as we are concerned as La Salle goes to Umass and the George do battle in Foggy Bottom. The only note is a Umass win and a Bills loss could muddle the deck chairs in the PIG some. We'd be tied with Umass in record but own the head-to-head. Loving it.

Taj79 Posted February 25, 2017 Author Share Posted February 25, 2017 WOW! What a game last night at Davidson. Dayton got "trapped"but then escaped to an 89 to 82 win at Davidson. Dayton pulled a Billiken and went scoreless from 13:59 to &:58 and fell behind by 11 67 to 56. They put Cooke on Gibbs and Pollard on Aldridge and toughed it out to 74 all at the end of regulation Then Sccochie went nuts ---held without a field goal for 40 minutes, Smith hit three threes and a two for 11 in the OT and Dayton won with ease. Davidson gutted it out; Gibbs played with a face guard for a broken nose and he and Aldridge scored 27 each. Davidson is truly a two-man team ---- in the end, not a single sub or other starter stepped up when it counted. Dayton's defense concentrated on Gibbs and Aldridge and made it really difficult for them down the stretch. Dayton did what you expect senior-laden teams to do. The win gives them a half game lead on VCU as the Rams go to Kington for Rhode Island at 2 Eastern/1 Central. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taj79 Posted February 25, 2017 Author Share Posted February 25, 2017 Rhode Island down by 1 at half has exploded out of the gate against VCU. Now 51 to 38. Richmond up 20 at Fordham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taj79 Posted February 25, 2017 Author Share Posted February 25, 2017 Rhodey takes out VCU. Richmond clobbers Fordham. Both likely locks for top four in Pittsburgh with Dayton and VCU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taj79 Posted February 26, 2017 Author Share Posted February 26, 2017 The bottom four are settled .... us, the Joeys, Umass and Duquesne. While Umass and Duquesne could catch us, I doubt it. Duquesne has to play St. Joe's so someone will lose there. Duquesne would have to win at higher ranked Mason as well. The Joeys also play Rhode Island. Doubtful. Umass has three left ---- home tomorrow against La Salle,then at homeagainst Richmond, then at the Bonnies. Five wins will be tough to get; six impossible. BUT --- knowing who 12, 13 and 14 are is impossible although I cansee the Joeys in 14. That means us in Pittsburgh. The top will be Dayton is they beat VCU Wednesday in Dayton. Likely. VCU should be top four even with a loss at Dayton but the Bonnies could slide in if Rhodey or Richmond falter. But no one plays the other so they will need help. Final seedings in a week.
