DAYTON Game Thread

Mack also said that the game started at 1 but the players didn't start playing until 2. Certainly the Seniors are not playing like seniors. TU had a bad day with points at the end when if score was out of hand. Kenny played like a disintrested person. His missed points at the beginning set the tone of the game. Sad to see the Sanley/dante senior leadership not there today.

Need to regroup and get ready for SLU at home on Wed. Not a gimme home win. SLU has long mobile athletic bigs...don't like our match-ups w/ our Not Ready for Prime Time bigs.
I will a little credit to JRob...actually was the leading scorer amongst the big w/ 7 pts in 17 min of PT. Plus had 5 boards. Still plays soft at times and gets too many fouls. But overall has improved his play in the last 4 games.
Taylor has been, frankly, a disappointment.
Frease....well...he is like a box of chocolates....never know what you are going to get from one game to the next....but mostly it is a chocolate w/ that nasty white toothpaste-like filling.

Mack made no adjustments and his team was not ready. UD is the top scoring and three point shooting team in A10 and we regularly let them have open looks and then go down and settle for a poor shot after a high screen. This comes down to coaching and preperation. Without Tu and Lyons we would have lost by 30. At least Mack can dunk.

Starcrossed. X had 2 days to prepare, UD had all week. Pre-game hype of UD arena crush is as bad as Crosstown. Frease didn't want to be there. Tu has been playing with no emotion. Last year's Freshman class, a no show. UD's newly acquired point guard up to the task.

Muskieman, the inside outside play of Tu and Kenny Frease was unstoppable. Kenny really works hard and gets great position and did not get outplayed by a two star recruit. At least Mack can dunk and has a great staff.
