Makes sense! Dayton looks really good! It was amazing how the team found themselves in the second half of the LSU game. Turning point for the program I think. Lose that game and I think things might have spiraled. I feel like it maybe wasn't fair to judge Grant too harshly last year because of all ...

daytonflyerfan

What's the temperature of your fanbase right now? "Anthony Grant is that dude! We are going dancing! Let's go!" "I'm cautiously optimistic" "Collapse is imminent" Definitely option #1, he is that dude, but if things go south this year, then being 1/7 will make him very...

We lost our best player to Pitt last year. He certainly wasn't a malcontent. In fact, one of the best kids we've had here. Malcontents leaving is fine. That helps with the culture. Keeping your best players is the challenge. It will be interesting to see who stays and who leaves after this season. ...

And the Harris scholarship went unused last year? So only 12 scholarship players last year?

daytonflyerfan

How does Carey have any eligibility left? 2 years at Syracuse, 3 years at RI.

To keep it simple I’ll just take the starting 5 in last years A10 Tourney and starting 5 now: A10 Tourney Leggett - transferred to Pittsburgh. Our best player. Thomas - transferred to Albany Martin - graduated Stewart - freshman playing very little this year Carey - entered portal with 1 year remai...

The same rational I gave you was what I was hearing from Dayton fans at the time. And who was injured? I know there were many irate fans from having read your message board at the time. The refusal gave the A10 a bad look to some extent. But another team lucked out and gladly took your hard earned ...

daytonflyerfan

So if you had beaten VCU in the Championship you would have turned down the NCAA invite because "they had significant injury problems". so then would VCU get the NCAA invite or would no A10 team be allowed to go? Yeah, I know, the rationale is inconsistent. The NIT is not a big-time event...

daytonflyerfan

There are no David Cox recruits here So, I see that Archie brought in 7 guys last year and 7 guys this year. So 8 Cox recruits have left or graduated since Archie took over? There is no easy way to keep track of who left and the reason for them leaving. Verbalcommits.com, the A10 scholarship tree, ...

daytonflyerfan

I attended last years A10 Tourney including the championship game vs VCU Camara was a monster in the game he scored 18 plus 17 rebounds. Then in the Championship game he only played 20 minutes because of fouls. I thought that really hurt your chances. I was surprised Dayton turned down the NIT. Wor...

What’s your thoughts on this years Dayton team and do you like Anthony Grant ? I will admit that I have some blindspots/am not always right about everything. I was very surprised that Dan Hurley was able to lead UConn to the national title. I thought he was a good coach, but I thought his RI teams ...

daytonflyerfan

What’s your thoughts on this years Dayton team and do you like Anthony Grant ? I am not a big Anthony Grant fan, I absolutely hated him being hired at UD. If UD doesn’t make the ncaat this year, then he should absolutely be fired. 1/7 isn't nearly good enough. Having said that, I will certainly con...

daytonflyerfan

It's yet to be determined, but I don't see the no sit rule being good for mid majors. Maybe, but the no-sit rule flushes out the roster quicker. The turnover happens faster. The guys that don't want to be there/don't want to buy in hit the exits faster. There are fewer malcontents on the roster/the...

daytonflyerfan

A long winning streak would not be unprecedented. Year 3 of Archie at UD had many fans calling for him to be fired maybe around January of year 3 due to a slow start. Archie had made the NIT in year 1 and had no postseason in year 2. Then they went on a big tear all the way to the Elite 8 followed b...

Check out what they are saying about the current coach.

Lol, maybe Archie not looking so bad to them now. Time has a way of doing that sometimes.

That's a tough job to be the coach there.

daytonflyerfan

Archie says that his Indiana teams did not shoot well enough. Too many recruits that were great athletes but couldn't shoot. The comments mention the perimeter players standing around watching the great post players that IU had. Again, the posters are very critical of Archie in the comments. https:/...

Woodson and Indiana have made the last two NCAA tourney’s. 2022- won a first four game then lost 2023- won a first round game then lost He’s already surpassed Archie at IU. Yeah, crap, I thought they missed the 2023 ncaat for some reason, my bad. I think part of the problem at IU was maybe recruiti...

daytonflyerfan

The Indiana fans mostly seem to bash the living crap out of Archie, they really hate him. Again, I loved him. I don't know what went wrong at IU. 1/4 or 2/5 isn't bad. It is tough to follow in Bob Knight's foot prints. Every coach they have is compared to Knight. The expectations are super high there.

daytonflyerfan

There are no David Cox recruits here I don't follow RI super closely, but I follow you guys from like a 30,000 foot view. I am not convinced that Woodson is going to be better than Archie at IU. Woodson is going to be 1/3 probably after this year at IU, and the one ncaat bid was mostly with Archie'...

daytonflyerfan

The other things are that IMO the no-sit transfer rule, and maybe NIL also, are going to speed up the rebuild/transition away from Cox. Also, sort of along the same lines, Archie will get these guys to buy in/bring in his type of players, such that those that don't buy in will be free to leave. I th...

daytonflyerfan

I loved Archie when he was at Dayton, I thought his coaching at Dayton was great. There were complaints on udpride.com about him being unfriendly and sort of arrogant, maybe condescending towards some fans. I never met him, so I have no idea if those complaints are accurate. I don't think those comp...

daytonflyerfan

Don't bet against Archie. He will get it turned around. It might take some time to get full buy in from the players. His system works.

Has this been posted already today? Anyone seen this?

What is the story here? This was reported on the 11pm local sports news in Ohio. Did Archie interview with PC?

daytonflyerfan

Apparently 1 seeds losing in the round of 32 happens much more often than I thought: it happens once every other year.

So 1/8 every 2 years...1/8 is 12.5%...so there is a 6.25% chance of this happening every year.

daytonflyerfan

How many 1 seeds have lost in round 2? I don't know the numbers and too busy to look it up, but it's not super uncommon (the most famous in this part of town is 1998 URI over #1 overall seed Kansas. The NCAA tourney is about matchups. Have the wrong match up and a 1 seed can be upset in any round. ...

DFF, I think you should consider entering the fan portal.

Haha, I'm just salty over this past season, I never wanted Grant to be the coach, he's 1 for 5 making the ncaat now at UD, and Archie taking the RI job just pours salt on the wound.

How about we trade coaches? Lol

daytonflyerfan

Let's not dismiss the fact that in 2020 they were ranked #3 nationally and would have been a #1 seed, had post-season not been cancelled. Fair enough, but they played 3 probable nccat teams that year during the regular season...probable 1 seed Kansas on a neutral court, an ot loss...probable 8 or 9...

And we would kill to have your fan support (all home games sold Out before the season), consistently being in the conversation for NCAA, NIT, and on the bubble. Dayton is one of the top mid major brands in the country. You guys were in the tournament this year until Dayton went on a miracle A10 run...

daytonflyerfan

So if I understand you, Dayton's scheduling bothers you? It's been a hinderance on the program? Held them back? This is a program that goes to the NCAA, or worst NIT, on a pretty much regular basis? Despite having coaches go in and out of the program? Same Dayton program that would've been a #1 see...

I always appreciate you joining the fray here. Good stuff. I am just repeating myself at this point. It's not the coffee, this scheduling si...

And one more thing, even to this day with Xavier having been in the BE for several years now, Xavier is STILL sometimes playing more road and neutral ooc games than Dayton. It's unbelievable. Xavier is dead serious about playing as tough of an occ schedule as they can, Dayton just isn't serious abou...

daytonflyerfan

We didn't build a 7600 seat arena to get bought out by shitty ass Wake Forest and only get home out of conference games against Quinnipiac I totally disagree, the only reason you build a bigger arena is to accommodate more fans, you don't build a bigger arena and then use that bigger arena as an ex...

daytonflyerfan

You would think that Dayton after years and years of watching Xavier and Butler schedule up and succeed and pass them by would have noticed what was happening and copied what they were doing as far as scheduling is concerned, but you would be wrong. For forever and ever, UD has always played a minim...

Have you been to Rage-aholics? Chill out. I don't have rage, this is iinm the one and only time I have ever cursed on this board. This is my #1 complaint with UD, this screwed up scheduling approach has been used by them for decades. You don't build a program and get ahead by wasting your ooc games...

URI originally scheduled 15 home, 3 neutral site, and 13 true road games this past season. The OOC portion had six home games, 3 neutral site (2 games in Daytona Beach and one game in DC (vs Charleston) and 4 true road games. This made for the majority of OOC games away from the Ryan Center which i...

Just looked it up. While it may have also been then “home” end of a home and home it was part of the 2018 Hall of Fame Holiday Showcase triple header. Dayton played Tulsa and Quinnipiac played Drexel. https://s3.amazonaws.com/sidearm.sites/udayton.sidearmsports.com/documents/2018/5/15/BB_Hall_Tripl...

DFF, I'm pretty sure that's a joke... Hey Blue Man, I took the time to respond to your post with 3 posts of my own, and I asked you a question on page 6 of this thread. Are you going to respond? Not sure why you felt the need to insult me like that. My point is legit: prior to this year, Cooley had...

daytonflyerfan

I suppose the other thing about a longtime coach not advancing enough in the ncaat is that if the coach does start to advance, then he becomes a more attractive target to better schools. If you win some games in the ncaat, then everybody knows who you are, you are on everybody's radar, and you becom...

Archie beat Ed in the round of 64 the one year when Archie was at UD, the game was played in Columbus, Ohio, Ed, if I recall correctly, complained that UD had an unfair home court advantage. UD was an 11 seed IIRC, Columbus is a 71 mile drive from Dayton. I suppose there's some truth to that bit abo...

daytonflyerfan

Honestly - if Ed goes to the Elite 8 he'd have a better resume than Archie did at Dayton. How do you figure that? Archie at UD: 6 years, 1 nit, 2 round of 64's, 1 round of 32, and 1 Elite 8. Cooley at PC: 11 years...1 first four...3 round of 64's...1 round of 32...1 at least Sweet 16...2 nit's...an...

Heck, look at Calipari at UK, there are a lot of UK fans where I live, and some of them are not happy with Calipari, some of them are pissed. The Miller's and Calipari's are longtime family friends btw. John Calipari and Sean and Archie and Archie's dad go way back, the Miller's are from Pittsburgh,...

DFF, I'm pretty sure that's a joke. I forgive you, I know you're going through a lot at the moment :lol: . But Ed Cooley has a lifetime contract. He will get a life-ier lifetime contract after this run. This is PC's best team, season, and run in 25 years. The "can't get it done" joke is n...

daytonflyerfan

Said he would like to play a game against Sean (that was IU vs Arizona). Hopefully that transfers to Rhody vs Xavier. Might have to be a one way game at Xavier or a neutral game, I doubt X would want a home and home. I can't think of the last time X did a home and home with an A10 school. Maybe Sea...

Pretty sure they had MSU trapped 3 times while Davidson was full court pressing, none of the 3 were fouls, Davidson had a steal off the one trap.

Hey Daytonflyerfan, First, thanks for always being a gentleman/woman on this Board. I have followed your comments over the years. I am glad you have a lot of good things to say about Archie. One of the many things I personally missed about Dan and even Andrea Hurley was their engagement with the fa...
