Hey there will still be at least one more game for you to form an opinion. The most fun I ever had as a Billiken fan was beating Judd Heathcote's ass in the semifinals of the NIT- it meant two more days exploring NYC.

Compton Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 1 hour ago, brianstl said: I think if Dayton wins today that they are in. Dayton feels like one of the teams the committee likes to invite. High upside. Agreed. And the committee can discount Dayton's first three horrifying losses (which I don't think KenPom or NET does) and focus on the Miami, Kansas, VaTech, Belmont, and Davidson wins.

We do. But when u watch Davidson play O like a well choreographed dance, it’s frustrating that we don’t. The better O scheme is a traditional offense where both your point guard and leading scorer can both handle the ball. Yurimania's obscenely high usage rate this year was a workaround.

wgstl Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 I hate how fine I feel after today, I think it’s largely In part due to me not thinking we’d win anyway. I’ve said for a while now Davidson was the best team, Davidson is a lock- for a reason. Sucks to not win but it was going to take an upset to win. on to the NIT and I’m excited basketball is not done yet, especially if we get to go to the fetz one more time. rgbilliken likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taj79 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Dayton is done. If you count some wins in December, you have to count those loses to Austin Peay, Lipscomb and Umass -Lowell. Then they lost to LaSke and today’s complete collapse w/o Malachi Smith or a second PG. M-E-A-T! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO this year’s team has the makeup of a team more likely to take advantage of an NIT invite than our squad last year. I loathe the NIT, but it makes sense to play as many games as possible since most guys will return next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took a good part of the season for okoro to shake off the rust and gj had to learn an entirely new role on the fly.There is no go to scorer on the team anywhere near like perkins and you had to rely heavily on a freshman who is still learning. I think a case could be made that ford overachieved with the players he has. Collins had to pick up some of the scoring something he has never had to do. Still made it to the semis and likely will get to the nit. i say congrats to coach And everyone’s genius coach of our opponent today would have been reamed on this board a long time ago had he been the Bills Coach. I believe this will be his 8th trip to the tournament in 30+ years and only in 1 of those trips did he win a game and that was with Steph Curry.

Yeah, but it’s Davidson, a 1400 student school with a high school gym in a podunk town with one stoplight. Who’d want to go to school there much less play hoops?

M-E-A-T! Tough break but as we Bills fans know all too well, injuries are part of the game. They're easily a preseason top 20 team going into next year. When's the last time the A10 had two preseason top 25 teams? Because next year is a distinct possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why “easily” ? 2nd or 3rd best team in a 1 bid league? Yea young, got it. That’s not enough to rightfully be a T25 team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t call Dayton a preseason T25 team (only Davidson is) but they have the potential to make it there at some point throughout the season.

Smith and Holmes are the real deal Loyer and Brajkovic are out of here. Davidson has no graduate program to keep them. Dayton is the youngest team in the league and finished 2nd this year. They're a lock for preseason top 20 next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
