Dayton has never ever beaten a top 15 kenpom team in the NCAA Tourney, Wichita St was # 8. Since 2002 (first year of kenpom), Dayton has only once beat a top 10 kenpom team, #8 Louisville in 2008.
This loss tonight was NOT light years better than those 2 losses, it was a worse loss on any objective criteria; win probability, rating of opponent, etc.

Louie was picked to win the A-10 and UD was picked bottom half. Both teams played to that role tonight. Bottom line is you are who you are and your efficiencies and deficiencies
prevail.
Flyers don't have a true and consistent PG. IDC about the scoring. I care about the assist to TO ratio, much smarter decisions, the ability to get this team into and out half court sets and the ability to get the ball into the bigs...
While Crutcher is a nice player he's got a long way to be a good PG. Add in a very short and inexperienced bench and they are forced to play him and even others that are struggling far more mpg than might be needed. The bad games by players get magnified in this type of role.
