Re: Ryan Center In-Game Experience - Issues and Upgrades

I went to the RC for the game on 1/21. My wife and I stopped in at the Bookstore in the Union before the game. No basketball jerseys there, okay I will pick one up at the store inside the arena. Go down to the Ryan Center, the only uniforms they had in that shop were for kids. Did I miss something ...

You know what else I thought was great last night? Brayon Freeman. Not for what he did, because that part was obvious. But how he's starting to transform right in front of our eyes. Are people forgetting who this kid was on the court just 2 months ago? Last night after the game, in the 2-3 minutes ...

Super, SUPER impressive half. A team with the size that Dayton has, running almost exclusively zone seems like the the perfect recipe to really dominate us on that end. Doing just enough combined with a great stretch on D to overcome it.

Re: 1/14 | UMass | 4:30PM (NESN+/ESPN+)

I think Archie really likes bassey. There’s a reason he’s always on the court at the end of the games and I don’t think it’s simply just to keep bray off the floor as a learning point. I couldn’t tell you what the reason is but Archie has to have one with the amount of times we have seen it.
