FoxNews has an article, Yahoo Sports, NBCsports (I don't think Brian Williams was in uniform at the game though ) CBSsports, plus what was mentioned here.

Besides the standard story line on FoxSports1 there is another story line about :

The Cincinnati Enquirer recap of the game. I did not know the PU coach accidentally knocked the chair over. Funny the replay did not show that.

He was just swooshing away a monster of a nasty fart cloud, and the chair just happened to be in the way.

We are still the cover story on ESPN.com's front page, big picture of Pierre. There are two videos in succession. (The second one, in particular, is whining about the technical and our advantage of playing in Columbus.)

This recap has a good video of the chair incident. http://www.ncaa.com/game/basketball-...ton-providence

Pretty good read from USA Today

When Dayton plays Oklahoma on Sunday evening in the round of 32, it will have a significant advantage over the East Region's No. 3 seed.

"We'll approach this just like we would any road game," Sooners coach Lon Kruger said. "We're not concerning ourselves with whether it's fair or not. That's not an issue. The issue is we're playing a very good team."

That's what perhaps been obscured. In all the talk about where the Flyers are playing, there hasn't been much attention paid to how they're playing.

"When all is said and done, Providence was outplayed," said Donovan, the Providence fan, who traveled from Boston to see his team play. "Regardless of the circumstances, Dayton outplayed Providence. In another gym, Dayton would still win."

That's nice and classy. But what I would really like to hear from the opposing team is this: "Dayton beat us and were helped by the crowd. If we would've played Dayton when they had at least 4 days rest, I shudder to think what they would've done to us, ANYWHERE".

Best line: In his fourth year as coach, Miller said the program is "rising," but added: "We're not anywhere near where we want to be."
