The Dance Card site has been updated for games played through Sunday, Feb. 16:
http://www.unf.edu/~jcoleman/dance.htm
The Flyers dropped eight spots by not playing, and are now the last team in.
Let's see if a win over La Salle helps their cause (we don't want to know what a loss would do).

A win against St Joe's gets us much closer to THE tournament than other wins by other bubble teams IMO. That's assuming the other projected wins and losses ( SLU) goes to plan.
This next game could be the tournament deciding game for us, and I hope the players know that. I'm sure ARchie and Staff are pumping them up with that information.
Can't wait to go to Brooklyn to see a couple or more GREAT games!

What I wouldn't give for a run in Brooklyn...I am tired of making the trip to the A10, only to turn around to head back to Dayton feeling like I got kicked in the boys repeatedly.

the last time the Flyers made noise at the A10 tourney was when the went to the final against Richmond. However, in that game it was obvious from the start that the Spiders were far superior and that UD was not going to win that day.

I was proud that year (believe 2011) we went to the finals after a subpar conference season. However, I find it utterly disappointing that we've been to 1 conference finals that was held outside UD Arena. MCC 1990, A10 2003, 2004.

I have a twenty five mile trip Shocka.
This is a year I feel fairly confident we can take names later and make some noise!
(Get balls kicked in perhaps the third or fourth game against the likes of Billikens or VCU perhaps)

Agree Buster, but I think the MCC championship was in the Arena??!! Thought UD demolished Xavier that year (Negele senior year)??

All going to depend on getting adequate to good play from the BIGS. This entire team is a top 25 team with that said.

That's what Buster is saying, that UD got to finals in only conference tourneys held at the UD Arena...(against Richmond in Atlantic City not-withstanding).

The last two years UD was in the MCC the tournament was not at UD Arena. It was at UD in 89, 90, and 91. It was in Cincinnati in 92 and I believe Indy in 93. UD beat X in the finals in 1990, 98-89.
