College Hoops

I actually wonder if Benson and the team wouldn't be better served if he came of the bench? In part, he hopefully gets to observe whats going on, bring some energy (hopefully positive) when he enters, and plays against the other teams' subs. I don't know if he is hurting, doesn't have confidence in his recovery or the injuries have taken away some of his athletic ability. Maybe some success off the bench would be a boost for him.

Dayton 96, Fordham 51 (ESPN Box Score - January 23, 2013)

Flyers’ freshman reserve Jalen Robinson: 9 points and 9 rebounds in 20 minutes.


Flyers Tie 3-Point Record in Victory (Doug Harris, DDN - January 23, 2013)

The Flyers tied a program record for 3-pointers made by going 15-for-21 on their way to a 96-51 win before 12,131 fans at UD Arena Wednesday, their largest victory margin ever in an A-10 game.

The Flyers (11-7, 1-3 A-10) started 18-for-23 from the field and hit 65.5 percent in the first half while building a 52-23 lead. They blitzed the Rams (5-14, 1-3) with a 26-7 surge to finish the opening 20 minutes.

The Flyers were led by Kevin Dillard with 22 points and eight assists, while Vee Sanford had 19 points and Matt Derenbecker 11.

Dillard went 5-for-6 on 3-pointers, Derenbecker 3-for-4, Sanford 4-for-6, and Khari Price 2-for-2.

UD also hit 15 treys on Jan. 9, 1997 in a 72-63 win over Wright State.

Next season, Kevin Dillard will be getting paid to play basketball.

Vee Sanford will be a senior, Matt Derenbecker and Jordan Sibert (who is reportedly shooting 3's well in practice) will be juniors, Dyshawn Pierre and Khari Price will be sophomores, while Dayshon Smith and Kyle Davis will be freshmen.






BTW, former flyer Juwan Staten has not yet made any 3-point shots for Bob Huggins.

. . . but he still thinks he will be playing in the league in a couple of years. Good luck with that, Juwan.

Do not count this team out of the discussion to get much better as the season goes on. These 3 guys who lit it up last night were not fortunate. They're transfers.

So Muddy goes away and there is good discussion in this thread, including Xavier fans. Muddy returns with harmless posts that can not possibly be seen as inciteful (rare for him), and Xavier fans return to mock him while derailing the quality discussion that has been taking place.

But yeah, let's keep pretending Muddy is the only issue on the board. Perhaps Manti Te'o believes it.

Re-read your post. You say Muddy is gone, and good discussion is taking place on this thread (which I agree, the last few weeks have been good discourse).

Then you say Muddy returns and the quality discussion is derailed.

Then you conclude that Muddy is not the problem.

Even Ray Charles could see the point Adam was making, and one that he's spot on. Now I have no idea what Muddy is doing elsewhere on X threads, I rarely look at those, but I think it shows what good moderation could do for this board. There was nothing in his 3 point thread that attacked anyone w/n the A-10 (only Juwaan Staten could have been offended by that) yet X fans pop out and feel the need to take a swipe at UD and/or Muddy.

I think the point stands, the issues with this board do not soley sit in Muddy's corner, there's plenty of blame to go around.

Classic Xavierhoops comment. Read the words. All of them.

MudFlap

We had to take Logic @ X.

AdamtheFlyer

What happened was a line of Xavier fans shooting their wads after going weeks without being able to mock him. That's fine. I couldn't care less. I scroll past most of what he says and most of the responses. Just know how ridiculous it is to say Muddy is the only problem. That's my point. The guy never mentioned Xavier once and look at the response.

Last night's shooting had me curious, so I looked at some stats. Dayton essentially has 4 guys shooting better than 40% from 3, and 5 over 36%.

Pierre - 48.6%
Derenbecker - 44.6%
Price - 42.4%
Dillard - 39.8%
Sanford - 36.8%

39.2% as a team from 3. 46% overall. They can put the ball in the basket. Fix the turnover issue and they can do some really good things on offense. The defense is what it is, but to me, this is a team capable of simply outscoring most teams they play. Just have to have possessions end in shots.
