Fordham Game Thread

[lhsgolf19]

10 Game Win Streak, it feels good to come home to the Arena for 3 Straight. Fordham is Fordham, they are not any good... Jeff Neubauer's Rams are 7-13 and 1-7 in the A10.

Game is on Saturday Afternoon at 4:30 PM and will be shown on the NBC Sports Network.

Projected Starting Lineup: (based off last game)
G 21 Josh Colon 5’10” 170 JR Carolina, Puerto Rico
G 2 Jalen Cobb 6’1” 165 SO Atlanta, GA
G 10 Ty Perry 6’3” 215 SO Boston, MA
G 5 Chris Austin 6’4” 205 FR Pasadena, CA
F 30 Onyi Eyisi 6’9” 225 SO Napa Valley, CA

4 are for sure starters, Austin would be in the only iffy... If he is healthy 6'7" Ivan Raut would get the start but he missed the last couple games with an undisclosed injury.

Cobb leads the way at 11.4 PPG.

They are terrible offensively, 58.3 PPG & only 52.6 PPG during conference play. 38.1% FG 32.2% 3PT 61.3% FT

Get the job done... Stay healthy... Go UD!

Dayton will try for only their 2nd 9-0 start in A-10 conference. Only other time was 2003-2004.

This is only the 3rd time Dayton has started A-10 conference play at least 8-0.

Found this bumper sticker on what used to be their MB...yikes!:

"This forum is permanently shut down. Posters have ruined this forum. You can thank Ram Spouse, HK Ram, Madram, 85, AOC, Vooter and others I am sure I am missing. 85's post after the loss to VCU was the straw that broke the camel's back. A truly deplorable set of threads and the epitome of what his forum should not be about. It got to a point where this forum required too much policing and was no longer fun to read, so it took away the reason it was created in the first place."

I gotta ask, on a Saturday, with over 100 basketball games, around the country, what possessed NBCSN to pick this one? Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled to be able to watch it, but I just can't imagine that the rest of the world wants to see this game.

So ours is the second best game. Don't forget we have the big draw of Obi and his dunk show, which will always draw some eyeballs.

Oh, I could understand that, but wasn't this all scheduled before the season started? I realize there was interest in Obi before the season started, but nothing like it is now.

Okay, but curious, the Depaul Marquette game isn't being nationally televised and I'm sure there's a slew of other good games that aren't either. Couldn't the hosts of those games be persuaded to move their times to 4:30p for national coverage?

Again, not complaining, just curious.

To late to move starting times.

Valid points, but who wants to see those two has-been, middling-to-basement-dwelling loser teams when we have Obi and the Top 10 ranked, undefeated-in-regulation Dayton Flyers playing in the newly renovated, rollicking sold out UD Arena! :D

I didn't mean today, this week, this month, this year or this season. I mean, when they set up their network schedules before they determine which games will be televised when. That obviously takes place at some point after the schedule dates are released. At some point they find themselves with a Saturday 4:30 game of Fordham/Dayton. Before they lock it in, they can contact the other hosts and ask if they would want their games moved to 4:30 for national coverage.

Mr Chapman, please don't shoot more than 15 feet from the basket. Please?

They need to get him looks from the top of the key. With shots from the baseline, there’s no backboard to help with depth perception.

NCAA needs to stick their flop rule up their ass if that is considered a flop on Obi. Not the first time this year seen BS warnings or calls on this

[jack72]

I guess unless they knock our guys out cold, it is no foul. Those three were ridiculous.

[BeckysTXA]

I agree. Did we get a new floor or is it the broadcast or lighting. Our white uniforms don’t show well against the floor.

Even the announcers were at loss on that call. Way too much contact to be a flop.

CAG had a nice, long chat with one of the blind mice during the media timeout.

First half over reactions

1) Brrrr...cold shooting start
2) Start the rumor mill....where's Cohill?

[BeckysTXA]

Crutch and Mikesell have zero points but we are up 19 at half. Jordy and Matos have more points than Jalen and Ryan. Never saw that coming.

He’s in uniform, and has his warmups off. Maybe under the weather.

That was the tall, white ref’s call to make, and he sucks, so there you go.

I’ve been impressed with the black ref from the start (calling a very good game IMHO), and the shorter white guy seems to have gotten better since CAG had a “chat” with him, but the taller dude with the bad haircut, well, he’s just....

[rasta man]

Is it me or is the crowd not really into it today. Yeah it's Fordham and we are up big but not a lot of crowd noise

[BeckysTXA]

CAG is SITTING on the bench some this half...probably tells you a lot.

9-0 Fordham run gets him up.

2nd assist for Jhery to Trey.

If Jordy had better hands I think he could be a dangerous offensive weapon.

...give the ball to Jordy

Seems like he has had a very solid game today.

Haven’t been able to stop him today...so they push him out of bounds and get away with it.

So...Cohill 0 minutes. Wonder why.

The best thing I can take away from this game is that we have a week until we play again. The guys need to re-energize and get back to playing like we were.

Walk ons with fresh legs drills wide open three.

Should see minutes in a game like today’s:

1) sick/injury; or
2) discipline/“punishment”

I would think if it was discipline or injury, he wouldn't have gotten in the game at all. But then, what does that leave us with? Very strange.

[NJFlyr71]

This game sounded like the last 2. @ Richmand and @ the Dukes. Yes a W but with the regulars in letting foot off gas especially on D

Actually a little different it that Fordham was knocking down some pretty good contested 3s. A few more turnovers, but Fordham wasn't doing enough on the inside to even get to the FT line.

My mistake. I wasn’t paying a lot of attention during the 2nd half so I did not notice he played at all. I was reacting to the zero minutes comment.

I believe he was on the floor with the walk-ons in the final minute. Looked at box score and they have him with one personal foul.

Per the box score, he had an assist, so I believe you’re right about that.

This is a little late, sorry. Here is the functioning Fordham message board (https://fuforum.createaforum.com/index.php?board=2.0).

[Piqua Flyer '66]

IMHO CAG gave Matos more PT vs Fordham for two reasons:
1. To give Matos more PT
2. and to jump start Cohil

....and then CAG rubbed it in by putting him in with the walk ons!!!!!

[Piqua Flyer '66]

....putting Cohill in with 1:31 to play let all know that he was healthy and didn't play due to CAG's decision.
