[lhsgolf19]

I hope everyone has an enjoyable Thanksgiving with their family and hopefully we will see a Flyers victory against Wake.

Projected Lineup:

PG 1 Tony Chennault 6'2" 195 SO
SG 11 C.J. Harris 6'3" 190 JR
SF 30 Travis McKie 6'7" 210 SO

C 33 Carson Desrosiers 7'0" 240 SO

Let's Light up Orlando on ESPN2!

Go Flyers!

Doug Harris says we might see Luke in the starting lineup tonight:

[jack72]

That is some serious height for WF.

Miller says Luke is not starting, but will play a bunch.

[udx2]

We start with the first basket and I hope that is a good sign.

[udx2]

Correct that, first two baskets -- 5 - 0

[udx2]

Make that three...

[Whacker]

clap-clap-clapclapclap

[jack72]

Johnson had no chance for that ball, dumb foul. And Parker stating where he left off last Sat.

[jack72]

Oliver and Parker together = no offense

[Whacker]

What's with the road blues?

[Whacker]

That kind of basketball play by Williams would never have been seen under BG.

[jack72]

Benson is killing us on D

[Whacker]

Great rotations on that last series. Team is getting noticeably better from the 1st gaem at rotating and recovering.

[frisco flyer]

Testing...testing

[jack72]

Two bad shooting teams right now

[jack72]

Kav doing a great job of forcing the action

[frisco flyer]

MK is the best player on the floor.
Who woulda thought!

[udx2]

Tied at 33 at the half. Ugly. Kav has 10.

[Hobopotamus1]

Kav two rebounds away from 1st half double double.

[FlyerFanatic08]

kav is putting in some major work. even though he traveled on that post move he tried, i really liked that move. he looked the quickest on his feet i have ever seen from him

[frisco flyer]

I think MK is now going to get WF's attention every time the ball goes to the low post. Our outside shooters could have a field day if they play poised and take good shots in the flow of the offense.

[Buster]

interesting what a little coaching can do. Isn't it?
Reminds me of the OP days. Doing more with less....

[udx2]

36% shooting and 2 of 14 for 3s. 8 TOs did not help. Kav is our best player on the court. Would like to see the tempo go back to what we saw at the start of the game. Seemed like WF had more trouble then. Would also like to see Chris get hot.

[frisco flyer]

JB had a very quite half. It would be nice to see him get going.

CJ's family is at the game and he is trying too hard to impress. I hope he settles down and start knocking down shots.

JP's shot selection left me scratching my head. He needs to stop chucking up threes every time he touches the ball.

I actually feel pretty good about our chances of winning. We just need to do the things we know how to do. No need for heroics, WF is mediocre at best.

[frisco flyer]

MK intimidating the opponent. Almost funny but true.

[frisco flyer]

Great move by PW, too bad it didnt go.
Then he fouls.....

[jack72]

Almost makes me forget about our former center. Oh, I guess I have!

[jack72]

wow Oliver is a disaster on offense

[Hobopotamus1]

They are speeding us up right now.

[Hobopotamus1]

Originally Posted by jack72 wow Oliver is a disaster on offense

Completely. He is absolutely horrible. Not athletic. Plays scared.

[frisco flyer]

Why is MK off the floor?
We need to get back to doing the things that work. Feed the low post, get the layup or kick it back to PW for a three.
Repeat until the defense stops us from doing it.

[Hobopotamus1]

KAV!!!!!!!!

[frisco flyer]

Get JP off the frikin floor. I'll take the walk-on

[NovaFlyer]

Originally Posted by frisco flyer Get JP off the frikin floor. I'll take the walk-on

not a good game so far for JP

[jack72]

Originally Posted by frisco flyer Get JP off the frikin floor. I'll take the walk-on

We worried about the inside, but so far it is our lack of dept with JP an DO that is dragging on this team.

[NovaFlyer]

faith, folks, faith...

[Hobopotamus1]

I feel like Fab or Paul need to hit a few threes if we are going to get any seperation-there's one.

[jack72]

Great pass by Kav

[frisco flyer]

Our defense has a long way to go.

[NovaFlyer]

defense????

[udx2]

Down by 6 with under 8 to go. Hopefully we will come out of this tv break and do what WF did after a tv break. Would love to see Chris Johnson get hot now.

[FlyerFanatic21]

Yeesh, how can no one pick up a freshman? CJ hasn't appeared to make the trip yet. We should let Dillard create more to get the offense going.

[Hobopotamus1]

We need to get it inside every possession.

[udx2]

I am giving thanks for Matt Kav. He tied the game at 64.

[jack72]

Super effort by Chris

[FlyerFanatic21]

Ugh, not a good decision by Benson on the post.

[udx2]

Had hoped to see Chris do well since his family is attending. Still time to be the hero.

[NovaFlyer]

what a lousey call, this sucks, sorry, take a seat ref

[NovaFlyer]

ref, go look a the video, you are wrong

[FlyerFanatic08]

that was an awful call, wake player tried his spin move, it didnt work and he fell down...

[FlyerFanatic21]

Got to like this situation despite UD's play at times. Just take care of the ball down the stretch here.

[udx2]

bad time for that call

[jack72]

Too many turnovers

[jack72]

Parker Parker Parker Parker oh my

[udx2]

Thank you Chris. Dayton by 2.

[jack72]

Well Chris finally did it for his people!!

[FlyerFanatic21]

CJ when he is needed most!! Clutch shot!!

[Hobopotamus1]

CJ!! BTW, since when does a player control foul get you FT at the other end?

[jack72]

Yah baby!!!!!!!!!!

[udx2]

Big TO by WF

[Hobopotamus1]

Orlando sounds like UD Arena! How many do we have there?

[NovaFlyer]

come on kids, win...

[jack72]

Originally Posted by Hobopotamus1 CJ!! BTW, since when does a player control foul get you FT at the other end?

When the player does not have the ball. He ruled the pass happened first.

[NovaFlyer]

cj...

[NovaFlyer]

We win....fouled up ref

[axehandle]

did they travel by the bus from the motel?

[jack72]

Great game, great win........we are UD!!

[udx2]

Flyers 80 - 76

[FlyerFanatic21]

Heck yeah, great win!!

[TA111]

Great game. When is the last time we had a big get 15 and 13? I think Archie is looking pretty smart and BG pretty bad with the way Kavs is playing.

[Canonball]

Way to go Flyers. Wasn't pretty but they made enough plays down the stretch to win. Long way to go on D. Long way to go protecting the defensive glass. I like how loose the guys play on offense. Keep the mojo flowing guys ... that is all!

[FlyerFanatic08]

what time is the game tomorrow it on espn or espn2?

[426 Kiefaber]

great game Go Flyers!!

[jack72]

Not on ESPN, maybe on ESPN2. They are probably waiting to see if Arizona St wins. Otherwise ESPNu. Game is at 5:00 EST, I think.

[UACFlyer]

UD in winners bracket....tomorrow at 7:30 on ESPN2... national TV.

Great program exposure!

[Tony T 71]

Sure there are areas that need improvement but this team had the guts to hang in there and win it

Doug Gottleib said that is was great coaching for us to foul with 5.7 secs left.

It looks like Archie decided in the second half to go with the 6 players that he thought could win the game...how refreshing.

[FlyerGuyer]

Nice win against the ACC, even if Wake is a bit down. It's still Wake...

Bracket says 5:00? Who is right?

[FlyerFanatic21]

Just said during the ASU/Fairfield game that UD plays at 5pm on ESPN2.

[Tony T 71]

Wow, 4 players with 30 plus minutes and 1 with 27! 15/17 from the line baby

I assume you won't consider Chris Johnson, Chris Wright, or Marcus Johnson a "big". How about Finn, Waleskowski or Brooks Hall?

You do realize Archie runs different offensive sets than BG - so, of course, that 'kind' of play would be different.

Perhaps more accurately: 'That kind of basketball play by Williams would never have been seen with Juwan Staten at the point.'
