Pretty small team. We should be able to clean the boards and pound it inside. Good matchup game for Robinson/Scott, Pierre and Oliver. Not a Kav or Frenchman type matchup.

You think there is any chance we would ever see a line up with Oliver being the tallest guy out there? Oliver, Pierre, Sibert, Sanford and Price or Scoochie?

Did Bucky really just say that Gav is our best pure shooter? I didn't have the pregame on, but a buddy texted me that.

Question?
Ok, we are now 3-9 from the free throw line, and 6-7 from 3pt land. Are you allowed to back up to the 3pt line to shoot your freethrows??

That is just terrible FT shooting. How many more games will it cost them.

If #35 would quit taking shots from so far away his % would go up....or maybe UD can lower the rim to 9' when he has the ball...

Maybe they can put the Wisconsin v S. Carolina Bowl game on the video screens.

Where's St. Francis - Steubenville when you need them?
Our home opponents keep getting worse...something I didn't believe was possible.

In my opinion, a win at Oxford would be very significant. Winning on the road always is tough. Beating a power conference team on the road is a big deal...and Ole Miss' record is good. Odds of a win? Below 50-50,...hope I'm wrong.
(But, ending the OOC portion of the schedule at 12-3 would look pretty heady, IMO,...and most likely would get UD votes in the polls.)

Great turnout by the fans today. Not loud, but plenty of them. To get that many butts in the seats on New Years Day for Winthrop is pretty amazing. Very few colleges could pull that off.
Last night Houston hosted UConn and there were 4,035 people there to see the Cougs beat a ranked Husky team. If UD hosted UConn on NYE or NYD, the place would be sold out.

The fans seemed plenty loud to me, especially since we were scoring at will quite a bit of the time. I keep yelling at Gav--"You're not Luke!", lol. But was so glad to see his dunk and an unbelievable 3 at the end because his mom was still here. At the three she covered her head in her hands in amazement, lol.
I know some of you think games like this are boring and meaningless, but I love them. I love to see my Flyers wipe up the floor with an opponent because it doesn't happen very often and I can breathe normally the whole game.
I hope this game propels the team with confidence at Ole Miss. The one thing I worry about is the FTs in a game where we really need them. Hope this is an aberration. Most of the other games, they did OK in that dept.
GO FLYERS!

One of the best two-way performances of the year regardless of the opponent. For as much it's hard to shake the Eyeore mentality that Flyer fans have been saddled with for a decade of stubbed toes in conference and breath-stealing buzzer-beating threes, Arch is the guiding light. It's comforting that he sees what we see and is addressing it. The last two games he's discussed defense almost exclusively in the pre/post-game comments. He has repeatedly made the comment that this team will only go as far as their defense. Multiple times tonight (regardless of the score) he called a TO on a blown assignment to get subs in for the guilty party.

I never saw a coach call a timeout as fast as the one Archie called after Pollard's man lost him and drained a w-i-d-e open three.

Was in the Pep Band today and saw the bricks he was chucking from the line at that end of the court. When was the last time you saw someone shoot with a consistent side-spin?
I saw it today. And I repeat - it was a SIDE-spin! Kinda llike this...
I heard Norm & Brooks (during Feedback) after Sunday's game say that you don't want to mess too much with a guy's shooting form once he gets to this level. If they had seen what I saw today, however, I'd hope they'd be willing to make an exception.

This win is a good sign that we are maturing as a team. We are all weary of seeing double-digit underdogs take the game to us in the first half while we scrape out a single digit win in the second half.
Yesterday we got on top of them early and then abused them clear to the end. It's one of those inocuous things that shows we really are developing a bench and the killer instinct.

Defense has really stepped up the last two games. Keep in mind that Winthrop was averaging 77 points per game and put up 72 against VCU. They usually a good offensive team even though they have a poor record. This team is lightyears ahead of where we were last year at this time.

While the win over Winthrop cost UD RPI-wise, the 34 point margin of victory raised the Flyers Sagarin ranking 8 points - from 54 to 46. The RPI formula doesn't consider margin of victory, while Sagain's methodology does.
