Dayton game thread

[Lord McBuckethead]

Well that didnt take long. Down 9 in the first 10 minutes.
They are beating us at every facet of the game. Effort. Shooting. Moving without the ball. Rebounding. Assist. And defense.

On a positive note, we actually called a timeout after the 3rd total breakdown on defense. Keep jacking threes and turning the ball over fellas.

[Liverpooldawg]

If this doesn't change this is the same team we had last year. The record won't be as good because we upped the schedule. Hopefully it changes.

[maroonmania]

As usual we come out like we couldn't care less that we are even in a game.

[Pit Bull]

Why do we sometimes go through spells where all 5 of our players think there are 14,000 NBA scouts in the stands to evaluate them on their offensive ability?

[msstate7]

Peters, lay it up.

[MaroonFlounder]

Watching this game, There's clearly been a change in perimeter shooting philosophy. They've passed up on several open 3pt looks. I think Howland is forcing them to work for a higher % shot.

[MaroonFlounder]

We getting out rebounded.

[Pit Bull]

We getting out rebounded.

And they have one 6'9" guy. The rest are around 6'3"-6'7". They are blocking out nicely. We have two 6'11" players who stand around and watch our guards rebound.

And we still can?t make anything. Pitiful.

[msstate7]

We can't rebound with the freshmen

[MaroonFlounder]

And we still can?t make anything. Pitiful.

Yea the missed layups are unreal

[msstate7]

That was sweet

[msstate7]

Woodard just air balled a layup. Damn

[Pit Bull]

Closed the gap and I saw a few assists for once. Good to know that at least they saw somebody with better position to score than themselves.

[HoopsDawg]

2-9 from 3.

Gotta push the ball on every Dayton miss.

[Liverpooldawg]

Better, pound it inside. We have a big height advantage, use it for once.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Look, we are the better team, but we are playing weak ass shit offense and defense. Winners win. Losers lose. Which are we?

[Lord McBuckethead]

I want the 2004 team back.

[HoopsDawg]

Let's pls don't sub.

[maroonmania]

We really do shoot the ball terribly from the perimeter. We have so many guys that are supposedly good perimeter shooters that can't make a shot even when left wide open.

[Saltydog]

us some games if we can't get it straightened out quickly.

[MaroonFlounder]

Nick spoon hurt again

[msstate7]

When ado plays well, we good. When he doesn't, we aren't.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Lol brick off the middle of the backboard and it hits the their guy in the hands for a bucket.

[msstate7]

Cursed program.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Cursed program.

Was there any contact on that fast break foul? They called on us?

[maroonmania]

This team is so disappointing so far this season.

[msstate7]

Was there any contact on that fast break foul? They called on us?

I'm half watching. Pac12 championship on too

[maroonmania]

How do you not make that layup even with the foul. Pitiful.

[MarketingBully]

Horrible effort by our team. This team is way underachieving.

[msstate7]

We love 3s, and we f'n suck at them

[MarketingBully]

We love 3s, and we f'n suck at them

Howland is way past his prime. This team is playing like his first teams here even though we are 1000x more talented.

[msstate7]

Take over, Q

[MarketingBully]

How many shitty selfish shots can this team shoot?

[maroonmania]

MBB team is our worst coached team on campus.

[msstate7]

Dammit! Get the ball to Q on the break

[maroonmania]

Tyson Carter has to be the most overhyped shooter we have ever had. Can't make wide open shots.

[MarketingBully]

Take over, Q

Between our shitty selfish shooting and turnovers, can this team make the tournament? I have my doubts. And guess what 7? Another dumb ass slow start.

[MarketingBully]

Tyson Carter has to be the most overhyped shooter we have ever had. Can't make wide open shots.

It’s because he rather shoot 26 foot shots instead of 21 foot ones.

[MarketingBully]

Nick steals and turns it over more then anybody I’ve ever seen.

[maroonmania]

I'm done with this. Pac-12 championship will be more interesting than watching this team underachieve.

[tcdog70]

Holman and Carter are way off tonight. Aric should be having a career game instead he looks like crap.

[Saltydog]

NT

[MarketingBully]

This team sucks donkey balls.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

There is just no “tough” “hard nose” player on this team...

[msstate7]

That was not a charge

[tcdog70]

That was a flop.

[msstate7]

That was a flop.

Yep. That should be a tech

[MarketingBully]

We don’t act like a veteran team.

[msstate7]

Q keeping us in it

[MarketingBully]

Get this. All of Dayton’s best players are sophomores. Howland really is a bad floor coach this time in his career.

[MarketingBully]

Q keeping us in it

I’m so sick of this shit though. We look like we did at the worst points last year right now.

[tcdog70]

Maybe their shitty free throw shooting will hurt them down the stretch

[msstate7]

Come on dawgs

[msstate7]

Big time possession there

[tcdog70]

Holman not blocking out

[RocketDawg]

Getting interesting at the end.

[msstate7]

He was just going up

[tcdog70]

Nice Nick for 3

[msstate7]

This is our coming out party

[MarketingBully]

This is how this team is supposed to ****ing play!!!

[RocketDawg]

I'm done with this. Pac-12 championship will be more interesting than watching this team underachieve.

Last time I checked, there were about as many at our basketball game as at the Pac12 Championship game. Of course, it started at 5:00 p.m. in San Francisco on a Friday afternoon. Lots of traffic.

[msstate7]

Q kept us in it. Q willed us to this win

[tcdog70]

We got fouls to give

[Lord McBuckethead]

This is how this team is supposed to ****ing play!!!

Exactly 17n lutely. Movement. Hitting shots. Moving on defense. Nicely done.

[RocketDawg]

We haven't won yet.

[msstate7]

These announcers love Dayton.

[MarketingBully]

****. Have to make free throws to finish this.

[msstate7]

We haven't won yet.

We got this

[RocketDawg]

These announcers love Dayton.

Yeah. Flagrant foul.

[RocketDawg]

We got this

We do now after that boot.

[hopsondawg22]

Big dub by the dawgs.

[MarketingBully]

Q kept us in it. Q willed us to this win

Absolutely right. Q is the man!

[msstate7]

Big, big win. Hopefully this gets us rolling. Hats off to Q esp, but all the dawgs

[RocketDawg]

Can't believe we won. We were behind most of the game.

[tcdog70]

The Spoons. Showed out. They can ball

[Liverpooldawg]

It changed. Very nice win, we would not have won this game last year. Well done.

[Commercecomet24]

Good solid win tonight!

[maroonmania]

Amazing how much better we played after I quit watching on TV and just watched the stats. Maybe I need to do that every game.

[Lord McBuckethead]

I am tough on the dawgs. But damn good win. Good team effort. Finally moved the ball and made shots following stops.

[Quaoarsking]

This is a very good win. Dayton has been in the tournament 4 of the last 5 years, including an Elite Eight.

[tcdog70]

There is just no “tough” “hard nose” player on this team...

Dude Nick is a tough Mfer. What you talking bout

[CooterDavenport]

We covered.

[cheewgumm]

That will be a great win in the end.

GREAT GAME!

[Pit Bull]

Much better finish.....but is it necessary to wear a hoodie while shaking hands with the other team? I know it's cold outside in Ohio, but I'm pretty sure they have heat inside the arena.

[Skydawg1]

This team...they will **** up...and then they will hit 2 threes to win it. Gotta take the good with the bad and keep the faith with this bunch!

[RocketDawg]

Not especially. It's 43 right now in Dayton.

[Pit Bull]

These announcers love Dayton.

Nah….they just got caught up in the excitement of the crowd and closeness of the game. Kudos to Dayton's fans.....I can't remember the last time we had a completely sold out HUMP hollering like that.

I don't know anything about their conference, but it must be a big deal to host an SEC team, even in basketball.

[MarketingBully]

I just want us to play a full 40 minutes. Still haven?t done that. How many minutes tonight? 20? And another slow start. Luckily, we have so much talent any deficit say under 10 at halftime we can overcome. We are going to have to start playing a full game and take better shots in our offense and not turning it over. When we made that huge run, we played awesome defense, blocked out, ran our offense, and took shots in the flow of our offense. When we do what Howland wants us to, this is a bad ass team.

[Lord McBuckethead]

This also just in, CBS this week in the SEC is better than anything SEC Network puts on. They actually discussed the games and player highlights for tomorrows game.

Bingo. Seems like lazy jacking 3 offense always ends in us down 10. Hard nose is how real winners play bith ends of the court.

[Bothrops]

Dayton beat Butler who beat Ole Miss and Florida. Seems like a very quality win!

[Schultzy]

I don't know anything about their conference, but it must be a big deal to host an SEC team, even in basketball.
Dayton hosts the play in game to the NCAA tournament every year because they sell that game out too no matter who is playing. Dayton, Ohio loves hoops like we love baseball.

[Schultzy]

Amazing how much better we played after I quit watching on TV and just watched the stats. Maybe I need to do that every game.
Add some years to your life, DVR the game and check the score two hours after tip off. If we win you can watch it and enjoy it stress free.

Plus if we win you can read and laugh at the in game thread, like arriving at a party late and everybody?s drunk and you can laugh at them because you?re just starting.

If we lose you can just delete without all the frustration.

[Turfdawg67]

This team sucks donkey balls.

You absolutely the worst. Go away assmunch!

Hail State!

[BeardoMSU]

Great ****ing win tonight. I would actually like to see Lamar go all in on dishing out dimes....he's such a streaky shooter, but he really does have good vision...he could be almost like a Rondo for us with his dribble drive.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

This team...they will **** up...and then they will hit 2 threes to win it. Gotta take the good with the bad and keep the faith with this bunch!

Hopefully last year was a rebuilding year and they get back to how good they were under Archie Miller. Should be a quality win no matter what though since it was on the road

[Liverpooldawg]

You REALLY had to look for something to bitch about there, congrats, you take the cake.

I know this is gonna come as a shocker to you but college basketball players tend to look up to NBA players on what is considered cool.

Tuxedos would've been classier, no doubt.**

[Goldendawg]

Saw and talked to Coach Darrel Wilson at the Tishowamba Tourney last night and he looked like he could still light it up from three. Told him he needed to go to State and teach our guys to shot the three. Hail State!

[mstatefan91]

I'm done with this. Pac-12 championship will be more interesting than watching this team underachieve.

This one backfired on ya lol

[mstatefan91]

Some of you really seem to want the program to fail. This team will make the NCAA. Not sure if they do much more than that but it?s an improvement. Buy in guys. It?ll be a lot more fun.

Dont you understand? Contrarian is so much smarter.

If I had to pick a sport where the message boards are the most unbearable it would be basketball

[BulldogDX55]

People expect a good result with each trip down the court when in reality you only need a good trip about 55% of the time.

[maroonmania]

This one backfired on ya lol

Actually it didn't, I'm assuming that's the main reason we won. I'm convinced had I continued to watch the game would have gone poorly.
