Musketeer Madness

Sure fits doesn't it? At least the opponents got out alive I hope.

A crowd of 7,125 spent the final minutes chanting, "Over-rated" and flooded the court afterward to bask in the program's first win over a ranked foe in four years.

And also from the Dayton Daily News article on the game comes a great line:

Lightly regarded Richmond sliced apart the 16th-ranked Flyers like a biology class dissecting frogs. UD fell behind by 25 points and dropped an 80-63 decision for its third straight loss.

As much as we like to see Dayton take the fall, this is a double RPI opponent. Better for us that Dayton, St. Joe and GW do better than the other A10 opponents.

Interesting to note that Roberts scored 20 against Richmond. I guess he must have been feeling less "Hammered."

I have to say, the less time spent on Dayton the more purposeful one's life becomes, but I'll say just this: What is the only difference between last year's Dayton club team and this year's club team? Wright. No Wright, all wrong for dump.

what's your point? lavendar(what a pretty color)was probably the difference last year for xavier. the bottom line is that with wright, little and a healthy roberts ud is a pretty good team. without them they are not. why do you guys have trouble understanding that?

By "trouble understanding that" do you mean pointing it out in the previous post?

Baloney when you are a terrible team just because you lost a couple of players then you were probably not that great in the first place. When you have trouble beating Akron and East Tennessee St. at home when healthy then you are just an average ball club that had a couple of good wins. Take UCONN as an example, they bench 2 starters but still beat Indiana on the road, and 2 years ago Xavier lost 2 starters and went 7-2 without them and made the NCAA tourney. That is what good teams do, they adapt and move forward. But the problem with Dayton is they have just not recruited enough good players to overcome the losses of 2 guys. It sucks, but that is how it goes.

First of all, Xavier doesn;t have any player named "Lavendar". Second of all, a good team doesn't lose 3 conference games in a row, no matter what their injury situation. Dayton is all-hype as usual, and Wright fits in that category too. Finally, a good team doesn't lose on the same opponents home court annually for the last 27 years.

wow, don't even know where to begin with this foolishness. a good team doesn't lose three games in a row, no matter what the injuries? who said ud is a good team with little and wright gone? i admit right now they suck, but i watched this team win at miami something x couldn't do. i saw them dismantle pitt and win at louisville.
when healthy ud was pretty good. as far as ud losing to x the last 27 yrs, what in the he!! does that have to do with the current team? pretty sure this exact team wasn't the same team that lost 27 yrs. in a row.
