moytoy12 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Curious to see how we'll match up against Dayton's starting 5. Who guards Toppin, Mikesell and Landers? If I had to guess, I'd say Bell, French, Goodwin. If Toppin is working Bell over early, Perkins might get an early look and guard Mikesell, shifting French over to Toppin. Obviously, this assumes we go M2M. Yuri gonna have to do a defensive number on Crutcher like he did Gilyard. Edit: On offense, I'd like to see Bell go at Toppin early and maybe get a foul or two on Toppin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Play it until Dayton's shooters move you out of the zone (which could be pretty quickly given how they shoot). Edit: This might be a game where Toppin gets his, but we make a concerted effort to shut down the other 4 guys on the court. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GBL_Bills Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 On the A10 Undercard, Richmond up 15 with 9 to go over Davidson. Keeps Richmond a Q1 win for us if they finish it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We already struggle to cover the 3 point shot, so zoning up Dayton would only make it easier for them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bay Area Billiken Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Dayton is dominating. VCU looks very pedestrian, beatable, and overrated. SLU should be able to beat VCU at Chaifetz Arena. The game Friday night vs. Dayton is huge, game of the year to date. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure he's guardable at this level. Assume we're going to slow the game down, post up French and Bell a lot and force Toppin to play defense. Try to get him in foul trouble.

Littlebill Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Someone convince me we don’t match up well with Dayton. We defend the 3 we win. It’s as simple as that. They won’t be able to keep Goodwin off the boards Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They won’t be able to keep Goodwin off the boards I won't say we don't match up well, but Crutcher is dynamic. Landers is a 6'5" load who can hit the 3. Mikesell is a tough cover for us since we don't have a good matchup against him. Toppin is Toppin. They shoot like crazy from 3. This is a tough matchup for our guys.

HoosierPal Posted January 15 Author Share Posted January 15 Is this a two point take down? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mrjoelabs Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 This is a good result for us. Didn't want a repeat of Seton Hall with a team coming in pissed off with something to prove. Now they fly in confident and running high. Prime for overlooking us. Glad that Richmond won as well Quote Link to post Share on other sites
