I just had shut a troll down in the comments section of Koch’s article, jackass had the nerve to call us a fraud and wonder if we would win any games in the big east, I had to remind this douche that we are already 2-0 vs big east this year

You know it was a good game for Rhody if this is what the Dayton fans had to resort to-



This defense is fun-

Full game replay.... enjoy!!!!

What a great win for this team !!

The sky is the limit enjoy the ride !!

Sorry for the string of tweets, but there were so many good post-game quotes yesterday:

There was a young man sitting behind dan yesterday at the game in URI gear, was he a recruit or family/friend of the team?
I didn’t think teams had a recruit go to away games but if he lives near by why not?

I freakin love that DH quote about Belichick. It just goes into how focused DH is right now about getting this team laser focused about the task at hand getting ready for the next opponent and not looking ahead, brilliant!!

I'll say this much...Greek Freak's little brother is gonna be one of the all timers in the A10 when he's done. You can see the abundance of skill and athleticism, he just needs to put it all together.

There were times where he took the game over and did whatever he wanted on both ends, and he's still just a freshman.

He reminds me a lot of Delroy as a freshman. You can see he has all the tools to dominate, he just needs to get experience settle in. The difference is he is on another level skill/athletically than Delroy was.

When he figures it out, watch out

Fordham thread will be up tonight. Sorry for the delay - thanks to everyone who has not complained yet!

Agree, he will be a handful when he puts on some weight and gains some experience. Euro ball skills in a freak athlete body.

I just love the way our ability to force turnovers and limit our own manifests itself throughout the games and over the course of the season. Generating those extra possessions and FG attempts is huge, especially when the opposing team happens to be shooting out of their mind. Imagine, Dayton shot 63% and lost by 14 points, in large part because we had TWENTY-THREE more FG attempts than they did.

FG attempts for the year:
UNCA: +19
@Nevada: +27 (in part because we couldn't stop fouling and they shot 44 FTs)
Holy Cross: +11
Seton Hall: -4
Virginia: +4
Brown: +3
PC: +10
@Alabama: +24 (by far the most frustrating game to watch - we really should have won that one)
CofC: -2
Iona: +13
FGCU: +4
GMU: +10
LaSalle: +15
@GW: +5
@SLU: +6
SBU: +2
UMass: -1
@Dayton: +23

OVERALL: +169, or 9.39 more shot attempts per game. Clearly it is not the be-all-end-all, as we have actually somehow lost the two games where the discrepancy was the largest, due to FT attempts making up the difference @Nevada and @Alabama rather than TOs forced.

We have only finished one game (SBU) with more turnovers than our opponent, and only been equal (@Nevada) in one more.

Those really are great stats
