UD 13-7 Now, no way I see us with more than 18 wins
 

Thoughts ? I see 4-5 wins max left

And just like that, in come the clowns.........

Sorry you asked for thoughts, and that was my initial thought (similar to the other 2000, rational board members).

I'll take the over. I say Dayton wins more than 18 games.

$100. I have both Venmo and PayPal, although I'm not a millennial.

You in?

I think this team playing at their best is capable of beating everyone left on the schedule but winning at Davidson is going to be tough.

I think we'll finish better than 18 wins but who knows.

Jordan Davis plays closer to UMass/GW than George Mason in most games I'll take the over

RI x 2
St Lo x 2
VCU
Duq x 2

You boys are drinking the kool aid AG is pouring

Dude this is even bad for you... Just stop lol

February will tell us a lot about this team with 8 of the final 11 games verse the top half of the conference. So far it's been tough sledding.

0-2 vs Top 7
5-0 vs Bottom 7

You can say honestly u think we’re going better than 5-6 in the last eleven?

I totally agree !

Yes, because we aren't online naysayers. As most of us are proud alumni, we actually want the best for our school and believe in our program. We have a good team, we're just young.

You have to appreciate what we are building.

Pomeroy has us finishing 20-11 and 12-6

Game by game - favored in all but 3 games.

Losses at SLU, URI, and Davidson by 1,1, and 2 points respectively. Close wins over VCU and @Duquesne by 2 and 4 respectively. All other wins by 5 or more.

Better than drinking the poison you’re serving up, wouldn’t say?

In my 60 years of following the Flyers, I never bet on a game or season record. I follow the Flyers because they are my team. I follow the players and coaches regardless of the record. If you want to degrade yourself, you've done it. Flyer faithful till I die.

I wasn't sure before but I have now confirmed, he is officially a troll. Anyone who is not a troll should put him on ignore or simply don't respond. I just don't get why someone would troll this much.

Davidson is the only game left (on the road) where I think it's gonna be an uphill battle

SLU is down to 8 guys now after transfers. They certainly can win but that's not an impossible team to beat.

Duquesne we're capable of beating twice. Will we? I don't know but this team is certainly capable of winning both games. Same with everyone else

Udscott, you lost me on this one. I tend to agree with your views but this is ridiculous even for you

Lol, I’m just a realist, people on here had us winning the a-10 after the Bahamas, lol, just like the OSU guy he just said we will beat Duquesne twice without even thinking, the dukes are good and both games will be tough but he just don’t give them any credit

Ok we will see, I hope they prove me wrong

I said UD is capable of beating them twice, I don't know if it'll happen

You, on the other hand, don’t give your own team any credit.
I pick him.

And you don't give the Flyers or Grant ANY credit. You have a prearranged agenda and you take only the data you want/need to support your opinion.

$100 on more than 18 wins. You in? Or perhaps you're really just the troll they say you are?

Winning on the road is a challenge, especially with the lack of depth and lack of experience. I think having a losing record in February is indeed possible. I also think UD is capable of sneaking 1-2 road wins. It will be tough.

I would also point out that UD has the toughest in league schedule in the A10.

I really hope UDScott does not have a dog. If he does, someone should call the humane society. Especially, if the dog was named Anthony, Frank, Trey etc...

I see us winning 2/3 of the projected road losses and dropping another road game somewhere, giving us 13 a10 w’s and 21 over all.

Holy crap ! And we never lose a hone game ? Wow he had a big glass of kool aid
Posted via Mobile Device

Davidson doesn't scare me. Their pace of play is a good match for us. Not saying we win. Playing UMass again and this time on the road is more of a concern. Not a good match-up.

Pomeroy drinking the kool aid also...

You've offered twice and he hasn't responded. He won't put his money where his mouth is.

Yep, indicative of a troll

1. How would I know he would pay if I win ?
2. I only make bets when I have the advantage, the flyers are gonna win 18, but could win 20 if the ball bounces their way, so he has all the upside I have none
Posted via Mobile Device

Jordan Davis shoots the ball well for most of that stretch and I'd take the odds on going over 12 wins

So which is it? No more than 18 or at least 18?

You can be a "realist" without being hyperbolic and then backing it out when someone calls you on it.

It won’t fit!

I’d trade number of wins for just a couple of quality wins. Beating Coppin State, Detroit Mercy, Presbyterian, IUwhatever, and the like, at home is pap. We need to beat somebody with a pulse.
Posted via Mobile Device

I’ll take the over. I just visited the Dukes board and DUSCOTT assured the rest of the board that the Dukes are horrible and will lose out. He seems like a nice and knowledgeable and factual guy so there are 2 for sure wins. Now we only need 4 more wins for the C Note.
Posted via Mobile Device

I was thinking the same thing about IU...
Posted via Mobile Device

I said 18
Posted via Mobile Device

udscott says the flyers are going to go 5-6 the rest of the season. I don't think that should make anyone angry.

Why do I .... or anyone care what udscott thinks.

I can't handle when someone (including udscott) becomes the subject of discussion rather than the team that we all follow and are ecstatic when they win and depressed when they lose.

Am I missing something???

I THINK that they have a shot of going undefeated in their remaining season...

Go Flyers (which by the way is the reason that we follow this board)....

Absolutely! Or they could go 0-11. The truth is probably somewhere in between. That's why they play the games.

You sir drank the whole clear glass pitcher of kool aid, lol

STJ. W
DUQ W
SLU L

VCU W
DAV L
SLU W
UMASS. W

That’s 5, it not a stretch either way. Easily can win or lose 7 also. Hard to tell with this group.

How would he know you'd pay if he won?

Want me to be the escrow manager in this? I've just removed all of your apprehensions.

I'm still thinking we finish in the double bye. Parity is the word this year for the A10. SLU is losing games I thought they'd win. Our guard perimeter shooting can't get worse, and I think their shooting percentages will improve between now and year end.

Respond to troll, troll wins.

Wow, Kenpom likes UD a whole lot more than Massey. I may to invest $19.99 to get better results for UD in my projections.

udscott, just take SLUFLYER up on the bet. If the $100 is your objection, then lower the stakes to $50 or $25 or whatever or just make it a simple gentleman's bet.

You can not come on here and start a thread like this, and then reneg on your word when somebody calls you out on it.

I will take SLUFLYER up on the bet. If UD wins 18 or less, then I win, 19 or more then SLUFLYER wins. Ok, SLUFLYER? You in with me?

I have a PayPal account.

How about a sixer of Natty Light, Hot Pockets, and a half eaten bag of cheetos? That's all he can scrounge up from his parents basement.

I understand why everyone gets in an uproar about some of udscott's posts but this one to me doesn't warrant that type of reaction. He stated his opinion and then asked for everyone's thoughts about it. If I had to give you a range of what I thought could happen the rest of the year I'd say 5-6 the rest of the way is the low end of the range and probably 9-2 being the high end of the range. It will probably be somewhere in the middle but I'd say those two end points are still possibilities.

Also if KenPom is such a perfect indicator of who will win games why do we even play them on the court. Let KenPom decide every game and save a lot of kids injuries, get them in the classroom more and save money on travel.

We’re waiting udscott...surely you can check all the chairs and couches for $3-4 towards the bet. It you have trouble coming up with another $20, I’ll pay you to clean up my garage.

1. first of all to call me out for the bet is not fair, I never said anything about betting, just because he does, that's not my fault

2. like I said previously he has all the upside, their gonna win 18, few b reaks here and there they might win more, I have no upside

3. 100.00, lol, I ****ed away 600 for a new mattress for the guest bedroom cause my sister is coming to visit and the wife wanted one yesterday

4. here is the only bet I'll make, 19 wins is a push, 18 or lower I win, 20 or more he wins, regular season only 50.00

It's a legit thread/post. I like it.

Yeah, maybe it could have been more delicately stated...but like Trump and Bobby Knight, it's not what was said that is the issue, but what he meant. And how many wins My Team may/may not earn over the rest of the season is a great topic of discussion.

Now if you want to ride udscott's rear-end for wasting his money on a $600 mattress, that's fine because it either means he's cheap, or hates his sister. A queen-sized air mattress would have been a better - and more comfortable - investment. ;)

King Rollo the Interpreter...OUT!

I'm IN

I agree to these terms, mostly because it will be even sweeter after I win AFTER you've already hedged what you initially posted.

I was thinking he could sneak upstairs out of his mom's basement after midnight and dig through her purse, maybe crack open an old tooth fairy bank on his dresser?

To me it is not so my much what he says. With this post it is context. Why come out of the blue and start a thread like this other than to get a bunch of panties in a wad? In the course of a discussion, anything is fair game but to start a thread like this is trolling to me.

Agree. And he has already hedged his bet by saying they could win 20, so he is covered either way. He is a troll.

****, I thought I spent a lot it was a serta pillow top for the guest bedroom, lol, its a big upgrade for the single wide

your so full of it it's pathetic, if I would have said the flyers were going 9-2 in the last 11 you would have never said one word, just because we disagree don't make me wrong and you right, get over yourself

Do you really?

Re-read your initial post. What you SAID is that they win 18 max. So your best case scenario is 5-6 down the stretch. So, if you really believe that the best they can do is 18 wins, then why would you think they could get 19?

Teamcast is now projecting the Flyers at 21-10 (13-5)

Hold serve and pick up a road W. It'll be tough but these guys should be able to win 7 games down the home stretch in a soft year for the A10. I think this team gets to 20 in the regular season. Who knows what happens in the tournament.

That said there is no room for losses to teams the Flyers should beat.

PLEASE,

Stop picking on UDScott. I for one believe he would be more than willing to make the BET if only his mother approved of his betting and she would be willing to give him a bigger allowance so he could have some money to bet with.

ABSOLUTELY !I would gladly lose 50.00 and the flyers win 20-21 games

Has anyone actually watched Rhode Island play?
They are bad.
On the road against anyone of any quality, they are awful.
They beat VCU last week at home. The teams were a combined 3-21 from 3pt range and there were 51 FTs attempted. Terrible, ugly game.
Historically, we haven't been great at URI, If we shoot even average, we likely win just because we play defense. At home, we should beat them like a drum.
We haven't played well at UMass either, but UMass is also not good. Yes, it was a 5pt game at home, but UD had the lead for nearly the entire game. We took our foot off the gas and let them get back into the game.
@ Davidson and @ SLU are tough. Not predicting victories.
SJU, Duq, LaSalle at home - Ws.
Arena will be rockin' for VCU. I like our chances.
@ Duquesne could be trouble. Hard to tell how much gas will be left in the tank.

If Dwayne and Frankie keep increasing minutes and we dodge the injury and flu bugs, we might be OK. If either of these bugs bite, everything changes.

I like the thinking in the thread. There are a lot of tough road games coming up.

The tone is what is irksome. Flame throwing every time something is not perfect is annoying. Read my Detroit Mercy posts.

I don't want Pollyanna thinking. There is an objective middle ground.

I agree. The schedule is a challenge. We are inconsistent.

Not a good combination.

on "no way I see us with more than 18 wins"


udscott, vacation would suit you. Consider Venezuela.

Regardless how the Flyers finish record wise, I know two things
1. They will fight like hell in every game
2. They are one of the most entertaining Flyer teams I can remember and
I've been following UD for 52 years.

Any questions?

Why didn’t you pick Dayton in guess the score? Great place to back this up.

We are 15-8 as of today. We have 8 games left. There's no way we win only 3 of them. And there's no reason we can't win all of them, except letting up the pressure on any of the remaining teams.
Davidson lost to UMass and St. Joe's. I'm not writing off Davidson, even at their place.
I was hoping the SLU debacle would be a turning point and our guys came out shooting with big guns today. Loved Greer's banked in 3 at the end and how the bench went wild.
It's good that they have no games till Sat. Time to catch their breath and heal up any bumps and bruises.

Do you mean 16-8 as of today?

UD plays like they did today I’m gonna lose, we play like we did in StLo and I’m good so u just never know

Did they fight like hell in St Louis ? Lol NOPE
Posted via Mobile Device

Hey UDScott, please explain to me the two Davidson losses. Is their coach that awful to lose two of the worst teams in the league?

Easy to throw stones, but look at Davidson. Two ugly losses and leading the A10. Should they fire their coach for those embarrassing losses! Very, very easy to be totally selective on your criticism. Isn’t it?

WTF u talking about ? He made a statement that was not correct and I pointed it out that’s all

Dear UD Scotts mom

Your little boy has been acting up again, please change the WiFi password and put him in time out till the season is over.

Thank You

You’ve already lost.

Lol

All I’m saying is UD did not fight like hell at St Louis
Posted via Mobile Device

I’ve posted several times about the terrible losses by Davidson. They lost to two of the worst teams in the league. Crickets. Not a peep from the guy who loves to highlight every single misstep by UD.

The reality is that every team in the A10 has off nights where they are outplayed by opponents. No one needs to point that out. Jim Leyland of baseball game pointed out that the other team gives out scholarships too. The players are human, but the constant berating of players and coaches is not.

In professional management and parenting, only highlighting every flaw and error is very dangerous and counterproductive.

I’m not into rose colored glasses and trophies for participation, but constant berating has shown to be far, far worse.

This team is good, not great, let them be good for awhile. If you can only handle great, become a Golden State Warriors fan.

U never made the post, Piqua 66 made the post and he is always running his pie hole so all I did was show him he was wrong, he made the comment not me ! So why u giving me sh** when he said it not me ? Maybe next time he won’t make a stupid comment that is almost impossible to achieve

Excuses, excuses, excuses.

Gets old after awhile.

udscott just PM'd me. If we win 20 games, he's buying pizza for anyone who shows up at Milanos on Brown after the season is over -- up to 20 pizzas. Rollo also gets the free cheesy garlic bread. Because the Roundtable copyright is taken, udscott wants to call it the Icosahedron. I did a quick Legalzoom and it looks available in the state of Ohio.

Screw Lee's and their missed free throws. We got something better to count!

I will drive the 400 miles round trip just to get a slice of crow topped pizza.

The team should be invited as long as they don’t eat any pizza they didn’t pay for.

What if it is 21 (or more) games? Do not need any loop holes on how he weasels out of this!

I’m already invested at $150 between udscott and ud2, but I hope to get on board for a pizza party, if I can come in town. Nice Spring Day in the Ghetto sounds great!!

I’m going to pass. The pizza will have one slice that won’t taste right. And the pizza never sold well in Alabama. I don’t care about the rest of the Milano’s history. It just hasn’t made any progress over the years. Just not as good as when it was a sub shop.

The pizza performs poorly when there are only a few slices left. Milano’s is terrible about substitutions. When Pride members eat too much pizza, Milano’s refuses to call time outs so others can have pizza. Their best pizza was benched one game because it had a bad day. The pizza is awful when you eat it a LaSalle and Umass.

It is not voted the best pizza in the United States. Anything less is just looking at the pizza through pepperoni and mushroom glasses.

Don't you think a pizza rolls party would be more appropriate?

I spoke to my mom today and she said she will only pay for 20 Totino's

this thread has turned delightful.... enjoying it! I have never been to Milanos, would they let someone bring in their own Totino's I wonder?

Never Milanos? Are you plant from another A10 school? :singer:

lol... no I promise...) when I was growing up, Vic Cassano was the real deal... have moved and been in NC for over 20 years now.... no, never been to Milanos but heard a lot about it...

I'm sorry but Vic Cassano has never been the real deal. You need to go to the A10 tourney in Brooklyn. There you can experience the real deal.

it isn't the same now... but back in the day Cassano's was it for me.... you may need to recall just how good it was, when Vic was alive.... Vic was the real deal no matter what people say...)

I still love Cassano's, though I only get it a couple times a year when the wife travels to Dayton and brings me back a pre-baked one. Still better than any pizza in Texas. I've had pizza from all over, including Chicago, NYC, etc. There's good pizza in many places, but I won't apologize for liking Cassano's.
