Let's limit the turnovers and win this. Scoochie is the key.

Pollard with a poor layup, a bad dunk and a bad foul. Settle down dude.

I was hard on Pierre yesterday, but I loved his aggressiveness on that drive just now. I hope that's indicative of the day he'll have.

Looking good so far.
They are taking quick shots and crashing the boad. We need to box out and rebound. Pierre a force so far.

Wow! Not sure if Dyshawn is sick of his recent play, sick of the criticism, or just sick of it. But he's really playing with fire in his belly.

If we can keep VCU from catching fire from deep today like they were against Davidson, we have a great shot to win this.

Through eight minutes, Pierre has been everything we'd been missing from him earlier in the tournament: he's rebounding, he's aggressive offensively, he's relieving the defensive pressure. Right now, VCU's not sure what to do with him.

Both teams look tired. Missed a lot of easy shots early. Seems like a very pro VCU crowd. IF we keep it up on defense and turn up on offense we will be in good shape.

Shaka wants a travel, but VCU actually should have been called for a foul. Come on Shaka, you are better than that.

I love watching UD's starting five: five players who are all fairly competent and comfortable handling the ball. It seems like Pierre's and Pollard's ability to do so causes some match-up issues to their advantage, letting them go at bigger guys who are probably more comfortable defending slower players or players who play back-to-the-basket.

Plus the important factor that playing so much together this team truly knows one another, a great intangible in the game.

Kendall Pollard has to be more careful with those passes outside the 3-area. We can't buy a 3 ourselves.

Lazy, sloppy play. Scooch is front iron on every shot - except the one that missed the rim altogether.

VCU went scoreless for 6:13 and now just rattled off ten points in probably under 90 seconds. Ugh.

After letting guys go over-the-back for 17 minutes, the refs decide to call two on one possession. Just be consistent, please.

We have lost our defensive energy. Need to get their breath back at halftime and get it done.

UD has to do better defending the three, and somebody needs to nail some shots.

How the funk many deep prayers are going to fall against us? We are due for that to even out. If not today then AT LEAST in the NCAA Tournament. That last one was a desparation heave.

VCU is a streak shooting team. The don't shoot a good % from 3 as a team though. Just hope they cool off.

11-3 Run
by VCU at the end of the half is very damaging to Dayton.

Amazing that after being unable to hit a three, VCU makes (I think) six of their final ten attempts including two ridiculously-long bombs. Those hurt.

Have to at least hold serve in the first 4 minutes of the 2nd half. Bad enough to go into the half 3 scores down. Have to bridge that gap, or at least keep it from widening.

You can't beat a team making threes like they did at the end of the half. Our defense is actually pretty good, but they made some lucky shots. Siebertand Pollard need to become more active on offense in the second half.

27 VCU - 26 Dayton with 117 left and Scoochie shooting a foul shot. Missed foul shot, 3 VCU, turnover Davis, 3 VCU 28 feet. Ugh. Felt like played good 1H besides last 117 (similar to Florida last 4 minutes half last year).

The fact that we had so many chances to expand the lead throughout the half si what is killing me. We just simply could not capitalize at all, we just look tired on offense and VCU got hot. I would feel better about a comeback if we were shooting it well but we aren't making much at this point.

You can be a little cocky when you're in the Top 25 all friggin' year. Need to bring 'em down a couple pegs.

Being outrebounded by 6. They only blocked 2 shots, but several others were poor shots because they changed our shooter's stroke.

We better find our outside shooting touch. I think we made 1 jump shot that half.

Pollard has to regroup in the 2nd half, he left 8 points on the floor, missing two easy layups then hammering down a shot that bounced out. No to mention his free throws.
Right now looking good for VCU and not for UD. Do the flyers have anything left in the tank. VCU been in championsiop game 3 yrs in row, could be there year.
Am hoping playing 4th game in 4 days will slow them down in the 2nd half.

Have to have a couple basketball versions of "3-and-out" to start the half.

We are only down 7. Can we find some shooting legs for the last 20 minutes? Scoochie looks gassed.

I don't see how you can say we are playing tired. They have more fouls and more turnovers than we do, and we are holding our own on the glass. The difference are a couple of looooong threes at the end of the half. You can't blame tired for those.
I have a good feeling about this game still.

Taking the shot clock almost all the way down seems to be happening a lot lately.

Our defense was good. If they're going to beat us sinking 26+ foot threes, hats off.

Also, CBS seems to be having a love affair with VCU. Let's try to break-up that affair.

The old VCU from a month or so is back, hoping they represent the A-10 well, along with our Flyers.

No, the refs checked between his first and second attempts.
