So it’s pretty clear based on the season so far that Dayton is going to run VCU right out of is own gym.
It could happen. Last season VCU won a close one at UD Arena and they came to the Stu and won by 30.

Dayton was ice cold Sat night so I would expect them to shoot better tonight. I am not saying they will win necessarily but regression is near.
In the last three games that Bona won, all three teams did not shoot well. Some of credit has to go to Bona’s players. I watched all three games and they did a good job defending the 3 point line.

Pretty uninspired game by VCU. Flyers were already seriously depleted, then Blakney twists his ankle in the first half after missing the prior game and can't go. Mongolian Mike fouls out in 9 minutes. Malachi was unavailable. Holmes eventually fouls out. Washington and Baker transferred over Christmas. I think UD was down to their last 5 scholarship guys. I was waiting for AG to pull a Norman Dale if it got any worse.

Have you ever seen a team try to piss away more games in the last 2 minutes than Dayton? Elvis was more like Elvira tonight.

I would not say VCU was uninspired. They are just a bad offensive team. They went 0-9 from 3 in the 2nd half and 10-20 from the line while missing the front end of four one and ones. I don't know how it was a 4 point game. They have only really shot the ball well in about 3 games the entire season. I have no idea how they are in first place with 18 wins but it has to be that they do play inspired. Not sure how they would win otherwise. Dayton killed VCU with two guys. Camara and Holmes. Carmara imposed his will fighting for corners to get to the rim and he hit some threes too. Also pulled a bunch of rebounds. Good win for UD. Now it is time for me to forget about it.
