I'm surprised that the Dayton line is that low. I don't really expect them to be able to keep up with Colorado. Although as usual for these events, Flyer fans will be out in force, hopefully propelling the Flyers to victory. Looking forward to our first real test.
Big opportunity for the flyers. Colorado is likely at bubble team, would be a nice notch in their belt if they can grab it. I don't know when Colorado flew out for this event, but the 12:30 start makes it a 10:30 start in terms of colorado body clock, could colorado come out flat due to the time change and early weekday start? The flyers should have a sizeable advantage in fan support, plus I'll assume the neutral Charleston observers (how many of them come out for this thing, I have no idea) will favor the underdog, non-BCS school over the P12 big name school.
You could say the same thing for UMass I think. I think Providence has a shot at being a bubble team by season's end, and while UMass is strongly favored, I think that would be a pretty big win by season's end.
Providence is even more thin than originally expected. Their two big time stud recruits aren't playing (Dunn got injured pre season and not expected back until mid season if that while Ledo did not qualify for this year) and their best returning player, guard Vincent Council, went down in their first game with an injury and is expected to be out at least 4-5 weeks. PC struggled to beat NJIT by just one point in their first home game and played just 8 guys in its 32 point blowout of Bryant in its 2nd game on Monday.
I will take a one-point win in the ugliest way imaginable today. GOTTA WIN TODAY. We need NC State and Tennessee on our schedule, which lacks non-conference punch, particularly with Miami having been brought down a tick with its loss to FGCU.
Lari - Agreed. This is probably the most important OOC game for UMass. Win it and the OOC SOS is considerably better. Lose it and the chance of an at-large bid drops to close to nil.
20-20 at the under 4. Sounds like a very up & down game, but surpisingly few fouls, unfortunetly the 2 on Dilliard makes this a "just stay in it" 1st half for UD, which they're obviously doing.
Are you still living in Ireland Muddy? Gotta be nice to have a midweek game at a "normal" time for you in the Green Isle (if you still live there)
all things considerred, w/ Dilliard out 18 min w/ 2 fouls, sanford picking up his 2nd foul late in the 2nd half, I'll take that and hope the offense improves in the 2nd half w/ Dilliard around while the defense keeps the pace.
Colorado 43, Dayton 37 with 11:27 left in the game, as Colorado goes on a 13-0 run.
