Grant is not coaching circles anywhere.  His kids are shooting 60+% and dedicating themselves to defense.  Ford’s guys can’t shoot and defense of the three has been an issue all year.  Questionable preparation I guess.

Grants players are get open looks our guys are not.  

[slu72]

I don’t know why Has is in.

Dayton isn't defending us the same way.  It took Grant to figure out the chinks and Bully Ball's armor, but boy did he figure it out.  Nobody wants to win more than Jordan Goodwin.  But even Superman can't fight against kryptonite.

They had a lottery pick last year and we should’ve beat them.. I’m also incredibly confused

Yes.

[CBFan]

Good grief even the shot clock isn’t working and delaying the game.

Wrong. Regardless of this disaster, beat VCU, Richmond, and UMass, and we’re still in

Not happening ...only game on tonight and anyone watching will not see the whole season..it is a thrashing not a loss  with Dayton’s net in the 90s ..  our Net will be 40+ now..it’s only tournament win or bust 

[Tonka]

We must be intimidated by the cardboard cutouts and the hostile environment.

[Schasz]

Bills never even got off the bus tonight. Totally dominated in a game that they should have been aware from the the opening tap that we are going to get Dayton's A game.

[cgeldmacher]

Usually one assistant coach scouts the other team and comes up with the game plan.  I’d like to know which assistant coach is responsible for this game plan.

Yep.  No Way we get an at large without A10 tourney now. 

[Dr Bird]

I'm not going to lose sleep anymore about Ford moving on to a P6 program.

[dlarry]

4-23 combined for Goodwin Perkins and Jimerson.

[Taj79]

Coaching?  The coaches don’t shoot, dribble or rebound.  Prep and mental health maybe.

[NoCoBillsFan]

If they can’t figure out this shot clock situation, they could just end this embarrassment early

[Lando Griffin]

Is it sad that I’m hoping this shot clock knocks Dayton off their game and gives SLU a chance to make this close?

[Lando Griffin]

Wow all is the sudden there seems to be fouls and a spark 

[Slu let the dogs out?]

It’s amazing how much Dayton b*tches and moans about calls and non-calls, even when up 20

[Fraz]

French and Bam comparisons.. I’m going to bed 

[brianstl]

Let’s get it under 15 before the 8 minute mark

This team is athletic enough, talented enough and deep enough to not have to play bully ball every trip.  It is up to Ford to make the adjustment to Grant’s game plan. He hasn’t so far.

Are we going to bench Goodwin, French and Thatch every time a team has the personnel to defend us this way?  Who's going to rebound?  We're a small enough team as it is.

Other than non shooters suddenly making jump shots en masse, I don't see a counter to Grant's strategy.  Let's beat Richmond and hope VCU is too proud to abandon their base defense.  Then we get UMass at home. 14-4 still gives us enough wins for an at-large.

[brianstl]

That’s how you push the tempo

[MattyMo213]

I swear crutcher shoots about 70% on fts against all other teams and 100% against us every game

[Taj79]

Crutcher does the wave the arms move and gets a call.

[Lando Griffin]

The activity has been good but they just can’t hit crap.  Igh

The only way that is going to happen is if they lower the MTV Rock and Jock 25 point basket.
