Dayton board

[BlackwellSooner]

Welcome to the board ScottyExpress!

Dayton BB fans have a rather large chip on our shoulders.

Yeah, I noticed that when I visited. I would've registered and exchanged pleasantries with your board, but due to their exclusion of Yahoo-type emails, wasn't able to.

I think both fanbases probably agree that Dayton probably was under-seeded, but come on, griping about the fact that you had to play the play-in game on your home court, where you are 16-0 on the year? And barely escaping Boise State, at that?

All Sooner fans realize that home court advantage can be HUGE: we still have a painful memory of 1988, when we beat Kansas twice in the regular season, then had to do it again in Kemper Arena, aka Phog Allen Fieldhouse North. Oh, yeah, we lost the National Championship due to having to play AND beat a team for the 3rd time on essentially their homecourt.

Also, many Sooner fans long for home-field/court advantage, but rarely if ever are we the recipient of such good fortune, so probably a bit of envy.

OK, rant over, you seem like a rational, likeable fellow, just explaining why I feel the way that I do about having to play a very good Dayton team today with a decided advantage.

We've got it to do, though, fair or unfair.

Good to have you on the board.

BOOMER!

I guess when I say peaking, I mean that Archie has the team playing very well together and buying into the team concept. We play unselfish, smart team basketball on offense and smothering all hands on deck help defense. The team has gelled nicely, mainly because everyone on the team knows their role and knows that there isn't anyone on the bench to bail them out.

We've had some bad losses and some close games, I'll give you that. Everyone is taller than us, deeper than us, etc, but we looked very good against Providence and beat a tough BSU team. We find a way to win when we need to, a one point victory still gets you to the next round. A lot of our players were on the team that made the Elite 8 run last year.

We will be very lucky to get a win against you guys, like I said earlier we are over matched and really have no business thinking we will win, but like I said earlier we wear our hearts on our sleeves and believe in our team.

Dayton looked great against Providence. They were in control throughout.

Hilariously idiotic comment. I wanted to register to let he/she know buddy is academic all big 12, but I decided it wasn't worth my time.
