Dayton 78 St. Bonaventure 61

[swamprat]

The Flyers shot 56% from the floor, including 14 of 24 from trey land (58%).

 

I like the way they passed the ball around that diamond and 1 that the Bonnies were running. Why St. B didn't stay out of that thing when Dayton started lighting up the threes, is beyond me, but they kept going back to it.

I don't know when the other shoe is liable to drop on this thing, but for now I'm really enjoying the ride.

 

5-0 since tossing those two dunderheads out of school. Shooting really well and moving the ball on offense better than any Dayton team I can remember.

 

This group is already drawing comparisons among UD fans to Don Donoher's "Mighty Mites" from 1983-84 that were similarly height-deficien but managed to use the tools they did have effectively to win games (having future all-time UD scoring leader Roosevelt Chapman as one of those tools didn't hurt). Those guys ended up in a regional final against Georgetown which was a remarkable feat back then and would be downright amazing now.
