Balanced Flyers roll to road victory

The team meeting they had must have worked. Dayton has the talent. Go Flyers! Duquesne is a good team.

Good road win against a hot team- this one is a confidence booster- 23 turnovers is a blight but 58% from the field and outrebounding the opponent are good takeaways. They can play better still. let’s see how they handle GW on the road, where they have always had a tought time at GW’s place. Go Flyers.

Good win and now all the people who think they know more about basketball than the coach have nothing to say!

Didn’t listen to the game but from the stats, looks like they played good offense, 5 in doubles. Hopefully they can keep up the great shooting.

That was a decent win, unlike all the cupcakes BG scheduled early in the season.

Don’t get too excited. A road win is always a good win, but this is a game that a good team should be able to win.Out of 18 games this season, the Flyers have played 2, maybe 3, up to their potential. This is a game to build on, and if they can do it again on the road next week against a team they should be able to beat (George Washington), then maybe this team is arriving. But don’t expect them to shoot 58% again to compensate for all their turnovers. Nevertheless, an enjoyable win at Duquesne.

Oh boy Dayton a road win. Back on track for what? Another NIT bid…or a 1st round loss in the NCAA tourney? Come on folks, accept that the Flyers are just a microcosm of the pitiful town that you live in.

Dayotn has a 39 RPI. 3-0 against teams in the Top 50 RPI. Dayton has a better RPI than Michigan, UCLA, Kentucky, UNLV and the lowly Wright St. Raiders (129). Get a grip guys and get on the bandwagon before leaves town…
