Saint Louis Game Thread

[lhsgolf19]

All I got to say is... Rise up boys through adversity! Play Dayton Flyer Basketball... Hard Nose Defense and plenty of enthusiasm and heart... Go get a road win on Tuesday.

Game is at 8 PM on Tuesday and will be shown on the CBS Sports Network.

Starting Lineup:
G 10 Aaron Hines 6’0” 175 JR St. Louis, MO
G 11 Jermaine Bishop 6’1” 160 FR Queens, NY
G 32 Mike Crawford 6’4” 200 JR Tipton, IN
G 3 Ash Yacoubou 6’4” 215 RS SR Bronx, NY
F 35 Reggie Agbeko 6’7” 240 JR Buffalo, NY

They will be ready to play after we clocked them by 36 at the Arena earlier this year.

I Believe! Go UD!

[THirt]

We need to do a better job of playing defense without fouling. SLU likes to get a lot of their points at the free throw line. Steve in particular needs to be okay with giving up a bucket to avoid getting a foul. He's so valuable to us, and they have nobody who can guard him. Nobody. He just has to be big. I don't care if he gets any blocks Tuesday. I hope he is able to give us 25-plus minutes. If he does, we win going away.

Forget the motivational and distracting cheerleader pics, we needs some of Stone Cold Steve Austin's attitude from here on out!!

Why?

Cuz King Rollo said so!

[jack72]

He is better looking than the Bonnie's cheerleaders.

[UD62]

Flyers -9 against the Bills. Key will be what Flyer team shows up.

[1903 Flyer]

He is better looking than the Bonnie's cheerleaders.

...and possibly more masculine. Well, maybe not.

[rollo]

If you read the DDN article about tonite's game and have the Royal ability to read between the lines as well as take a hint from those who know more than the average jock sniffer, you can with confidence figure out that Archie and Pollard want to play but the medical staff* is saying 'no'.

[Alberto Strasse]

This is the biggest home game of the year for Saint Louis. They admire and compete fiercely with UD. The Flyers will get their "A" game especially after they were embarrassed in the Arena earlier this year. UD will have to match their intensity to get a road win.

[lhsgolf19]

No surprise here

Jon Rothstein ‏@JonRothstein · 49s50 seconds ago

Dayton's Kendall Pollard (knee) will not play tonight at Saint Louis, a school spokesman told @CBSSports.

[C-time]

I'd like to thank Davidson and Rhody for concluding their game in a timely fashion so we can watch the whole UD game.

[cj]

Down 5-0

[C-time]

I have no words for this. Down 7-0.

[udx2]

Can we play defense?

[TommyGola]

7-0...horrible start. No defense; two turnovers; desperation shot at the end of shot clock. This team is in a funk already.

[TrueTeam]

Any better link then http://wiz1.net/channel74 ?

[TommyGola]

Foul number one on Big Steve. Arm bar call. Sam Miller coming in...mass substitutions. The hook is quick tonight.

[Flyer68]

Announcers called it right. No defensive intensity. St. Louis wants to win and can win at home. SLU wants this game.

[TommyGola]

Turnover no. 3 by Sam Miller. Blown bunny by Daryl...OMG!

[TommyGola]

Make that four turnovers...one per minute. 8-2 with a dreadful start.

[lhsgolf19]

8-2 SLU with 15:11 left

[Flyer68]

Can we ever, ever make a layup? Archie looks very animated and starting to have a deer in the headlights look. I am starting to sense a panic in the coaching.

[longtimefan67]

It's not too late for the wheels to completely fall off

[Buster]

D Davis hurt his wrist or arm on that botched lay up. Been motioning to bench. Archie yelling at him to pay attention, and play.

[C-time]

I don't have the words to describe how bad this is.

[Alberto Strasse]

Where did it go? Big Steve is moving around like a chicken with his head cut off. No purpose just wasted effort. Guys missing bunnies and players falling down. What has happened to this team?

[udx2]

5 turnovers in 10 possessions.

[cj]

2 points in 6:30

[Buster]

I'm starting to think we need stickier shoes for the road.

[TommyGola]

I think we just got turnover number 6. X Williams comes in. We look like a disorganized CYO group at this point.

[TommyGola]

Kyle and Daryl...what a mystery of poor play.

[C-time]

Seven Turnovers!!!!!!

Absolutely no focus.

[TommyGola]

Dayton shooting 14% from the field so far. Daryl missed open three after a SLU turnover.

[cj]

I think I am going to watch MTV.

[ClaytonFlyerFan]

Give Mikesell a few minutes to hit a few deep 3's, will open up the paint for us.

Next man up, right?

[Flyer68]

SLU is making nothing. We should be up by 15. "Dayton is not playing very well." That is a compliment to us.

[rollo]

I think we're out of pixie dust.

[udx2]

Only good thing about our worst start this year is that even with only 2 points we are only 6 down.

[ruechalgrin]

Go to the hoop! Pierre/Big Steve post up. Everyone else drive to the hoop please!!!!!

Kyle shoot.

Stop the dumb turnovers

[Alberto Strasse]

on an N.I.T. bid!

[TommyGola]

Seven Turnovers!!!!!!

Absolutely no focus.

No focus...think you just hit the nail on the head. Two points in nine minutes...OMG!

[longtimefan67]

Give Mikesell a few minutes to hit a few deep 3's, will open up the paint for us.

Next man up, right?

I swear- if I were Mikesell- if consider transferring. He doesn't sniff the court and he should considering what we're witnessing tonight
Posted via Mobile Device

[TommyGola]

Ryan Mikesell comes into the game. He and X on the court at the same time.

[NovaFlyer]

st louis is terrible

[TommyGola]

We need some outside shooters who can burn a zone or sagging man-to-man. Maybe Mikesell can do that.

[TommyGola]

Turnover no. 8. Can't get the ball downcourt.

[C-time]

Eight

[Viperstick]

Jim Naismith is rolling over in his grave at this abuse of his game.

[C-time]

NINE!

[TommyGola]

12-4...very sloppy game. Scoochie with the ninth turnover. He and Daryl are in another worldl. Players keep falling down.

[C-time]

TEN!!!!!!!!!!

[TommyGola]

Scoochie with his third straight turnover. We now have ten turnovers. Archie keeps switching players to see if anyone is awake tonight. Oh my, this is hard to watch.

[C-time]

Scoochie is a disaster.

[C-time]

Werhlibird!!!!!!

[udx2]

Werhli hits a 3. Maybe that will get us going.

[TommyGola]

Booby Wehrli with our first three...nice kick-out by John Crosby. Cooke back in for Ryan Mikesell...I hope Cooke wakes up.

[Buster]

I'm sorry. Was there a game tonight?

[longtimefan67]

I hope they all wake up.
Posted via Mobile Device

[TommyGola]

Turnover no. 11 for the Flyers - Daryl (I wish I were in Detroit!) Davis with a palming call. It was a legitimate call. He did go high and horizontal with it.

[TommyGola]

12-9 with 7:40 to go. Not really a defensive battle...just very poor play on both sides.

[Flyer68]

Thank you Bobby W for looking like a basketball player. Looking for a silver lining here and it is that we have a ton of defensive rebounds. Maybe with this time out and Cooke coming back in, things will settle down and we might start not turning the ball over.

[C-time]

The only reasonable excuse for this horrible play is that the whole team snuck out to a bar last night to pick up some SLU girls.

[shocka43]

Guards are a mess. Scoochie is a hot mess. Refuse to feed the paint. Selfish ball. #trueteamnonexistent

[jack72]

Mikesell loses his man 3 times and he is gone.
Posted via Mobile Device

[TommyGola]

If I were Archie, I would full-court press this team. They don't handle the ball well and we need to get some breakouts.

[Alberto Strasse]

UD can win it with a competent second half.

[C-time]

Twelve!!!!

[TommyGola]

Pierre with a dreadful pass for over-and-back. Twelve turnovers. Kyle back in. He needs to turn up his game a lot.

[ClaytonFlyerFan]

What is up with all the guys slipping and sliding on the court? Had same problem at St. Joes.

[rollo]

Beer!

Beer!!

Beer!!!

[udx2]

UD, despite 13 turnovers, takes the lead 13 - 12, and Bobby Werhli is our top scorer.

My God!

[TommyGola]

One thing about John Crosby, he is not afraid to launch it.

[Jeff]

Yeeeeeesh

[rollo]

Ohio State tips off against Michigan State at 9:00 ;)

[TommyGola]

Second foul on Big Steve. Bobby Wehrli back in. Flyers up 13-12 with the half waning.

[udx2]

Beer!

Beer!!

Beer!!!

Like your solution, but I moved to the harder stuff!

[jack72]

Pierre and Cooke non factors on offense.

[lhsgolf19]

13-12 UD with 3:45 left

[MikeF]

If the US government wants to save money at Guantanamo Bay, they could use this game as a means of extracting information from prisoners. This is torture.

[ClaytonFlyerFan]

Must be the wind affecting our passing game, second half will be better with it at our backs

[Alberto Strasse]

They cannot seem to coach Big Steve on offense. He needs to be low on the blocks and not hedging all over the court with wasted motion that creates fouls. Let him post low, box out and rebound. Come on coaches turn your brains on!

[TommyGola]

The Flyers' offense is so out of sync. Every possession is complete struggle.

[longtimefan67]

This is without question- the worst I've see an AM team play since he arrived. It's a good thing this isn't VCU- Dayton would be down by 30
Posted via Mobile Device

[C-time]

Kyle Davis won't even look at the basket with his defender 8 feet away from him. We can't throw it into the post if all 5 defenders from the other team are standing in the lane.

[Flyer68]

I think Archie is going to go with Wehrli for the rest of the game instead of Miller and whomever. I don't care if we are winning or not. This is pitiful. We should be up by 31 points. No maybe not. We would only give up a 31 point lead. Can someone shoot the ball. Pierre is doing nothing except rebounding.

[AC91]

It's like they all have forgotten how to play offense. Unbelievable!
Posted via Mobile Device

[Marysville Flyer]

First team to 30 (maybe only team) wins it.

What a total embarassment. There almost has to be something internal going on with this team.

[rollo]

Wehrli's PT the last 2 games has paid off...:worried:

[TommyGola]

17-13, Billikens lead. Scoochie is on the line for two shots. This is scary given his recent history.

[TommyGola]

Archie keeps shuttling Kyle and Daryl, hoping one of the two can come alive.

[TommyGola]

Cooke is cold as ice. Flyers down five. Archie needs to ream some butts at halftime.

[C-time]

Cooke has no legs. Every shot is short.

[MikeF]

Dayton is completely dysfunctional offensively. Losing sucks, but I can accept it when being outplayed. But this is unenjoyable to watch. It's a disaster.

SLU keeps collapsing when UD gets the ball in the lane, yet when the ball's kicked out UD has no idea (or desire) of what to do.

[udx2]

Down at the half 19 - 14.

Honestly, I am trying to think of a worst first half, and I am having trouble even though I have been following the Flyers since the late '60s.

[C-time]

And Wehrli is hurt. Dislocated finger.

[rollo]

All we need to do is return the 2nd half kickoff for a TD and we're in this game!

Oh, wait...:angryfire:

[TommyGola]

Bobby Werhrli with an ugly dislocation of his finger with 2 seconds to go in the half. Archie is obviously peeved. He is really peeved at Scoochie and Daryl. He is working their minds at this point.

[jack72]

Down and let's play for the last shot. The dumbest play in basketball. Dribble at half court and get a lousy shot. Just run the offense.

[C-time]

Really glad that St. Louis missed those two extra points. All UD needs to do is shut out SLU and get a touchdown and they can pull this one out.

[Jeff]

And so ends the ugliest half of Men's Basketball in the modern era....

[udx2]

Glad God gave basketball games 2 halves. Let's go Flyers!

[C-time]

All we need to do is return the 2nd half kickoff for a TD and we're in this game!

Oh, wait...:angryfire:

**** it. You beat me to this.

[Alberto Strasse]

It is a disgrace to the coaches that Bobby Wehrli had to play so many minutes in this game.
We cannot use our Bigs and UD does not have guards that can get them the ball in position to score.

[C-time]

Second half starters?

Anyone who doesn't get injured or cries when Archie starts screaming and throwing stuff.

[Flyer68]

14 points in a half. Are you kidding me? There is no excuse. Based on losing the last two games, I sense a panic in Archie and this team. Except for the small spark by Wehrli, there is no one on this team that is playing anywhere close to good basketball. Wehrli, a non-player so far this year, has 5 points or we would have 9 points. Are you kidding me? I don't care if we do come back and win. I don't want to hear "a win is a win." This is an embarrassment to this team. For Archie to yell at them, only creates greater panic.

[The Fly]

I'm battling to retain faith, but this first half was Jim O'Brien embarrassing.

[C-time]

It is a disgrace to the coaches that Bobby Wehrli had to play so many minutes in this game.
We cannot use our Bigs and UD does not have guards that can get them the ball in position to score.

They can't get them the ball because SLU has everyone just standing in the lane playing defense and surrounding the post because we have nobody who can hit an outside shot.

[jack72]

1-10 on threes, 12 turnovers, shot 24%, only went to the line for 2 free throws (and of course like every time Scooch missed the first), and score 14 points. Can it get any worse? Oh yes, poor Bobby, who played a decent first half.

What a mess. Everyone played badly. May try Gruden, etc.

[NovaFlyer]

Our team was kidnapped. Pls pay the ransom.

[Alberto Strasse]

represents one of the worst performances in UD Flyer basketball history.

[Viperstick]

I feel like I need to wash my eyes with bleach after that assault on the game of basketball. We'd be getting pounder by 20, but SLU is so inept they can't find their arses with both hands, much less the basket.

Need better movement without the ball, fewer jumpshots (even fewer off balance/awkward jumpshots).

Hope Bobby is ok...

[Donniex3Era]

Down at the half 19 - 14.

Honestly, I am trying to think of a worst first half, and I am having trouble even though I have been following the Flyers since the late '60s.

That was the most pathelic half of college basketball I have ever seen...my wife of 40 years just said"my middle schoolers play better than that" good lord!

[Canonball]

7 stinking baskets? Come on man ......

[priceg75]

Held them under 20 points for yet another half. I don't even think our defense was that good, they just can't shoot with a flying flip.

[MikeF]

...(even fewer off balance/awkward jumpshots).Seriously, what the hell is going on with those shots? That's what it looks like when I'm at the rec center and there's a junior high open gym. It's ridiculous.

[Beatty Town Coach]

M21eagle, are you familiar with Bobby Wehrli yet????? Because he is practically the reason UD is even in the game right now.

[426 Kiefaber]

This is just ugly. Really odd how we just aren't clicking. I think we'll come around but man these last several games have just been so uninspired.
Posted via Mobile Device

[ruechalgrin]

Worst half of basketball since JOB.

Dayton scored 5 points in 17.5 minutes (from start of game to 8.5 minutes to go and from 6 minutes to go to end of half). Other 9 points scored in 2.5 minutes.

Kyle doesn't even look to shoot or drive anymore -- get in triple threat.
If your guy doubles Pierre, go to the hoop.
DRIVE the BALL.

[Beatty Town Coach]

And Steve Wolf is going off on how UD must keep attacking in the post, per Dyshawn and Big Steve. Humm, interesting theory, wish I had thought that.

[jack72]

First thing Archie needs to do at halftime is fire the equipment guy and the shoe company. What is the deal? Did St Louis see the Joe's game and grease the floor.

We are in too much of a hurry, panic mode. This is demonstrated by the turnovers and the constant falling.

[MikeF]

That girls high school team in northeast Ohio that scored one point in a game recently is feeling sorry for us...

[TommyGola]

First team to 30 (maybe only team) wins it.

What a total embarassment. There almost has to be something internal going on with this team.

I think you are right, Marysville Flyer. There is something going on with the chemistry of this team. They are a mere shadow of their capability tonight.

[UDDoug]

This reminds me of JOB days. Far worse than BG collapses.

Straighten it out in half two or they may lose out.

[TommyGola]

Our starters had three points in the first half.

[Figgie123]

As Larry just said, we had 13 points against Temple in 2010.

In that game's first half, the Flyers were 5-31 FG, 1-6 3PT, and 2-2 FTs. 5 turnovers.

[MikeF]

Second-fewest first-half point total in school history!

[udx2]

This is an incredible opportunity for someone to take over the game. Hope that it is one of ours.

[cj]

Ohio State tips off against Michigan State at 9:00 ;)

Moonshiners comes on at 9

[C-time]

Thirteen turnovers.

[TommyGola]

Archie must have told Kyle to go ahead and take the open shot...well he did and it wasn't pretty. Thirteenth turnover of the game. Bills up by 8.

[MikeF]

Thirteen turnovers.In fairness, that was a mighty impressive walk.

[ud69]

Our starters had three points in the first half.

That has to be a record in futility.

[TommyGola]

Big Steve with number 3. I would leave him in at this point.

[C-time]

And Steve picks up an absolutely stupid third foul.

[UDGutter2]

This game is painful.

[Flyer69ers]

How is it even possible to play this poorly ???

[TommyGola]

Flyers are racking up the fouls.

[Radar]

Sam Miller smiling on the bench while Bobby, dislocated finger and all, checks in for Steve. All you need to know about him...and this game.

[Flyer68]

Refs are calling things a little tighter in 2nd half. I am so angry with them that I am shutting the computer down. The keyboard is taking a beating. Did we actually just hit a 3 point shot. I feel faint.

[C-time]

And Pollard is going to hurt sitting on the bench.

[lhsgolf19]

That's our luck Kendall gets hurt more while sitting on the bench lol

[TommyGola]

Scoochie with his first basket of the game. Flyers down 25-24. The only thing keeping the Flyers in the game is St. Louis' incompetence.

[ruechalgrin]

Last 2 games, we haven't been able to get over the hump. Down 25-24, let's do it now!

[jack72]

Scooch and Kyle's defensive intensity is just not there. They both just take time off.

[MikeF]

Scoochie with his first basket of the game. Flyers down 25-24. The only thing keeping the Flyers in the game is St. Louis' incompetence.Through approximately 24 minutes this is the basketball version of a race to the bottom.

[Radar]

Sam smiling on the bench while Bobby, busted finger and all, checks in for Steve.

[C-time]

Wide open layup?!?!?! Blown!!!

[TommyGola]

The Flyers have had a miserable time finishing around the basket the last three games.

[udx2]

The summary of this whole game: Pierre is wide open and misses the shot.

[ruechalgrin]

no foul there on defensive rebound by St. Louis, just off balance and tripped ....

That is a must have been fouled call by the ref, right Rollo!

[TommyGola]

The Flyers' free-throw shooting is abysmal. Cooke just missed two.

[ruechalgrin]

Pierre misses the lay-up, cooke 0/2 foul shots, cannot get over the hump. Sigh.

[TommyGola]

28-24...I feel this game slipping away.

[TommyGola]

Flyers down seven now. They just gave up two straight three-balls...dismal.

[ruechalgrin]

2 chances to take the the lead and now down 7 ....

[C-time]

SLU is up 9. I don't think UD has enough offense to comeback.

And I'm being serious.

[shocka43]

Embarrassing.

[ruechalgrin]

Embarrassing ....

[MikeF]

This is a joke. Pierre misses a wide-open layup to take the lead. Cooke misses two free throws to take the lead. SLU goes on an 8-0 run in about 1:30 to go up by nine which might as well be 109 tonight.

[TommyGola]

Flyers now down by nine. Archie gets a much needed time-out. But this is a disgraceful performance. If we lose this, for the RPI fanatics, is this a bad loss? Forget the NCAA.

[udx2]

Down 9: This is not a game that we can lose.

[UDDoug]

SLU might not need to score another point to win.
Posted via Mobile Device

[ruechalgrin]

12 minutes to turn this around or we are back on the bubble ....

Dayton will win this -- down 33-24.

[jack72]

Are Cooke and Pierre drinking before the game? They cannot do anything on offense 2-9, and totally out of sync.

Bobby giving effort but cannot grip the ball.

[UDGutter2]

Next practice, "boys, this round thing is called a basketball, and the intertwined rope is called a net. . ."

[C-time]

I'm currently looking up the closest bridge to jump off of.

[TommyGola]

I don't know what has happened to this team, but we have been exposed and are a mere shell of what we were a month ago.

[SC_Flyer]

Flyers now down by nine. Archie gets a much needed time-out. But this is a disgraceful performance. If we lose this, for the RPI fanatics, is this a bad loss? Forget the NCAA.

This team is 36 RPI points better than La Salle...so we got that going for us, right?

[Canonball]

Puke.

[jack72]

3-17 on threes

[udx2]

Until now, it almost seemed funny because as bad as it was we could and should win. Now, down 9, it is more than embarrassing considering our ranking only one week ago. Now, it is time for Archie to do his job.

[longtimefan67]

Down 9: This is not a game that we can lose.

Starting to wonder if these players even care anymore. We beat this team 73-37 back in January. I refuse to believe that St. Louis is any better, they aren't.

[TommyGola]

Cooke needs to sit. He is awful tonight.

[C-time]

Cooke is short on everything.

[Flyer69ers]

Down 9: This is not a game that we can lose.

that remains to be seen . . .

[SHQCKEY]

Should be a block, foot inside the circle

[ruechalgrin]

The African-American referee is bad -- like his 3rd just wrong call of the game.

Clearly secondary defender in the restricted circle. Not even close.

This better be reversed and called a block.

[TommyGola]

Pierre at the line for 2. Flyers down 6. I cannot believe this. It is obvious Scoochie is in Archie's dog house. Crosby is getting the minutes.

[jack72]

Every minute I think the torture will end, but it just keeps going and going and going.

[TommyGola]

The African-American referee is bad -- like his 3rd just wrong call of the game.

Clearly secondary defender in the restricted circle.

They corrected it, fortunately.

[MikeF]

I had third row tickets to the tail end of the O'Brien era when I was a student at UD. I haven't felt this disgusted by a UD game since then, I think.

[shocka43]

Cancel the plane ride. Take the bus home win or lose.

[ruechalgrin]

I had third row tickets to the tail end of the O'Brien era when I was a student at UD. I haven't felt this disgusted by a UD game since then, I think.

I attended Dayton from 1990-1994 -- the only 4 years since WW2 they have not been in any post-season tourney over 4 years. It was brutal and this matches it.

Again, I said it when we were down 9, Dayton wins this.

[tirebiter]

Do they sell Philly cheese steaks in St. Louis?

[TommyGola]

Our first break-out of the game. We need more...push it!!!!!! Big Steve just got number 4. Leave him in...who cares at this point?

[Jack D]

I attended Dayton from 1990-1994 -- the only 4 years since WW2 they have not been in any post-season tourney over 4 years. It was brutal and this matches it.

I was at UD for those same years...there were better intramural teams on campus back then.

[jack72]

Pierre just got Steve his fourth foul.

[ruechalgrin]

That is one of the few times Big Steve was straight up. Anticipation call, not a foul. Crucial call with 9:44 to go.

[shocka43]

Nobody stops ball and Steve pays the price. Lazy D by the guards.

[MikeF]

It looked like the SLU player traveled before his missed shot which was tipped in.

[C-time]

SLU went straight at Steve with two pick and rolls to get a fourth foul on him.

[TommyGola]

Cooke short again. He needs to stop shooting the three. Cooke just picked up number 3.

[C-time]

And Cooke is short again. He has no legs left.

[ruechalgrin]

Stop shooting the 3 cooke -- you are short on everything - drive to the hoop!!!!!!!!!

[ruechalgrin]

33-39, d up!!!

[TommyGola]

Bills in the 1-1 and we are fouling every time down the court.

[ruechalgrin]

How is that a foul on K. Davis?? He is straight up in position.

[TommyGola]

Oh my God, Daryl, what the heck has happened to your game? Is this going to be another critical turnover for us that puts the dagger in us?

[T-Bone 84]

The Flyers' free-throw shooting is abysmal. Cooke just missed two.

Cooke is killing us this half. Taking bad shots. Selfish play,

We have one player in double figures - Kyle with 10. I hope we can pull this out!!!!!!!

[T-Bone 84]

Are Cooke and Pierre drinking before the game? They cannot do anything on offense 2-9, and totally out of sync.

Bobby giving effort but cannot grip the ball.

Cooke had to be. Have only seen the second half, but he's doing nothing to help the cause tonight.

That Ahbeko throws a moving pick every time down the court.

[MikeF]

How is that a foul on K. Davis?? He is straight up in position.I think, more than any other officials, basketball referees fall victim to anticipating what will happen. It's pretty frustrating.

[TommyGola]

7 seconds on the clock after this time-out! Don't foul!!!!!!!!!

[ruechalgrin]

I attended Dayton from 1990-1994 -- the only 4 years since WW2 they have not been in any post-season tourney over 4 years. It was brutal and this matches it.

Dayton wins this, they get over the hump. Drive it to the hoop. Go to Pierre now.

WTF, it was off St. Louis!?!?!?!?!??!?!

How do you reverse that.

2 points to the referees, we cannot have these type of horrific calls.

[TommyGola]

Very cheap foul on Kyle. I called it; it happens every time to the Flyers when the shot clock is running down.

[udx2]

Please -- Pierre or Cooke step up and lead this team.

[C-time]

STOPS please

And a BS foul...

[NCkevi]

A week ago I never thought there was a chance I'd miss UD's fist game in the A10 tournament since I can't arrive until late Thursday

[TommyGola]

Scoochie coming alive. Hello Schooch...welcome to the game!

[C-time]

Please hit a FT Schooch

And he did! All tied.

[jack72]

Scooch and Kyle playing now!

[ruechalgrin]

Yessssss.

Give over the hump, hit the foul shot.

[Jack D]

tie game!!!!

[TommyGola]

Game tied at 43!!!!!!

[udx2]

Tied as a result of a 10 - 0 run. Keep going, please!

[TommyGola]

Pierre can't buy a basket!!!!!!!!!

[C-time]

Go to the hoop Dyshawn!

[TommyGola]

Abebko at the line for two shots. Pierre had a chance to hit the big 3, but he just is off his game so much tonight.

[lhsgolf19]

3:45 left... tie game

[ruechalgrin]

Don't shoot 3s, go to the hoop. And yes i am yelling.

[SHQCKEY]

LOL, that last sequence...

[LIBob]

This game reminds me so much of the 2014 win in St. Louis that basically got them in the tourney.

Don't shoot 3s, go to the hoop. And yes i am yelling.


Don't feel bad- I've been screaming that line the whole game

It sure would have been nice to take the lead. Once the fast break fell apart, I think UD got too anxious and forced something instead of running an offense.

[jack72]

Only 2 Turnovers this half, shooting better, but the 5-23 on threes is a killer.

[ruechalgrin]

St. Louis in bonus +. I think they have 4 fouls this half ...

[TommyGola]

Boy, had the shot down low...couldn't finish again.

[jack72]

11 fouled Wehrli on that layup. We cannot get a break

[TommyGola]

Charles at the line for the 1-1...he previously missed two straight.

[jack72]

Mr Running Screen is gone.

[C-time]

I'm sorry but Pierre needs to shoot that.

[ruechalgrin]

Cooke must hit 2 foul shots here 1-1

[SHQCKEY]

Bobby was fouled...

[ruechalgrin]

11 fouled Wehrli on that layup. We cannot get a break

Absolutely.

[TommyGola]

Charles 1-4 from the free-throw line...can't do that and win on the road!

[TommyGola]

Cannot make a point-blank shot under the rim!!!!!!!!!!

[ruechalgrin]

1:56 to go, we take the lead here and get over the hump and will win. Must score possession.
