South Carolina Upstate Game Thread

[lhsgolf19]

Great win against Anthony Grant's boys on Wednesday but forget about it and let's get going early and often against USC Upstate!

I guarantee Archie won't let his boys do the same thing they did in the Buffalo & Murray games after the Old Spice Championship.

No letdowns or complacency!

Let's Go Flyers! GO UD!

Not sure if I would guarantee anything regarding this roller coaster season, but I hope you're right and the Flyers take care of business today!

No, not yet. Listening to WHIO in the meantime and reading about the UC decision to suspend players.

Well, at least they have turned on the larry and bucky

[frisco flyer]

Larry and Bucky are sure pumping up this game.

[Avid Flyer]

Dayton missed first two shots, don't bode well.

[frisco flyer]

Still no video.................

[udx2]

Getting "The selected item is not currently available." Would be great to watch the entire game. I am thankful for Larry and Bucky. Spartans up 9 to 6.

Bucky needs to not use the phrase: "We've got a man down" when describing a fast break. It makes your heart skip a beat.

Amen! My reaction as well.

My video is choppy

[udx2]

Looks like Larry and Bucky is a better choice as this video is like a weak hotel Internet connection.

[ChampCar]

My video feed didn't chop at all during the commercial break.

[frisco flyer]

Where's KD?

[frisco flyer]

Does Dillard have 2 fouls? he has not been on the floor in a while.

[UDDoug]

On the bench with 2 fouls

[Fair34]

Any one have a score? How much time left in the half...?

[anthonycharles]

UD down 32-29. Not sure about the time, but I believe it's under 4 mins left in the half.

[UDDoug]

32 to 29 scu. 142 left. Scu is playing the double the ball Roberts d and ud is clueless on how to attack it
Posted via Mobile Device

[udx2]

Tied at the half. Luke is high scorer.

[jack72]

Another mediocre effort. Our defense and passing are terrible. We need KD back in there

[anthonycharles]

32-32 at the half.

Ralph Hill is seeing some action. Kavs and CJ are in Archie's dog house at the moment. Dillard having 2 fouls does not help. When he's out, we don't have a pg on the floor and we're in trouble.

[jack72]

9 turnovers and getting outrebounded. KD and CJ with a bunch of zeroes.

[UDDoug]

Kavs has two fouls. CJ came out shortly after a bad Trey. Never returned.

[udx2]

UD shot 56% in the first half and 50% for 3s, and USC 48% and 33% from the 3. When UD does that, usually good things happen but the 9 TOs hurt.

[UDDoug]

Actually wasn't a three. Made the further mistake of stepping inside the line on what was already a bad shot. Tie game against a bottom feeder in Atlantic Sun. Time to show what you are made of.

[jack72]

Our defense is terrible. That is the third time we let a trapped guy split us on the dribble.

[udx2]

KD has arrived!

[FlyingArrow]

45-42 Upstate
14:06 to go.

45-44 after Dillard layup

And then a steal and another layup!
46-45 Dayton lead - Dillard to the line to try for a 3-point play.

[jack72]

It's Dillard time!!!!

[FlyingArrow]

Free throw made 47-45 Dayton.

Turnover by Upstate.

Dayton with the ball.

49-45 - Dillard with 2 more.

[FlyingArrow]

Dayton with a stop.
Dillard with a turnover - throws it out of bounds.
Under 13 to go now.

[FlyingArrow]

Upstate cuts it to two and on the way to the line to try for a 3-point play.
49-47.
12:25 to go.

[frisco flyer]

I hate it when we let teams like this hang around.
Put KD back in after the TO and let's go on a run and put this thing away!

[FlyingArrow]

Upstate misses the free throw.
49-47 still.
Dayton leads with the ball.
Missed - Upstate with the rebound.
Foul on PW.

[jack72]

Wow this is painful

[FlyingArrow]

Dayton with the ball.
51-49 Dayton.
10:44 to go.

[jack72]

How many blocked shots against Benson. He needs to man up.

[FlyingArrow]

Chris Johnson now with 4 fouls.
10:18 to go.
Still 51-49 Dayton.

[FlyingArrow]

51-51 after a long Upstate jumper.
Dayton turns the ball over on the inbound pass.
Upstate misses.
Dayton now with the ball.
Oliver, Kav, Parker, Dillard, Benson on the court.

[frisco flyer]

We need to keep playing aggressive and start shooting free throws

[FlyingArrow]

9:05 to go.
Benson takes a charge. Dayton ball now.
Still 51-51.

[jack72]

Great slam by Oliver. 53-51

[frisco flyer]

That follow by DO was SC material!
Go boys, lets get the W

[FlyingArrow]

Dillard with a steal, fast break, missed the layup, Oliver with a follow-up jam.
6 points for Oliver.
53-51.

[FlyingArrow]

55-54 Dayton.
6:19 to go.

[jack72]

Even KD missing the easy ones today. This is sooo frustrating.

[Avid Flyer]

Upstate has no intentions of going quietly.

[udx2]

Would love to see us put some distance between us. 59 - 54 UD.

[FlyingArrow]

Dillard in pain - not good.

[frisco flyer]

Looks like KD's wrist is hurt. I hope he can keep playing.

[FlyingArrow]

Love the fake shot clock countdown against the opponent.

3:57 to go.
Still 59-54 Dayton.

[UDBrian]

Dillard is in a lot of pain, let's hope that isn't serious

[jack72]

We are now ahead in rebounds. Go Flyers

[frisco flyer]

KD back in!
Good news

[FlyingArrow]

61-54 after 2 free throws by CJ.
3:37 to go now.

[FlyingArrow]

61-56 at the 3 minute mark.

[udx2]

Devin Oliver with 10 points.

Now with CJ we are up 63 - 56 with 2 minutes to go. Concerned with Kevin's injury. He hurt his wrist in that fall at the Old Spice Classic and looks like it is still bothering him.

[FlyingArrow]

65-58.
2:03 to go.
Dillard hurting again. Wrist first and now knee or thigh.
Neither injury looks like more than being banged up. Probably back in later this game.

[FlyingArrow]

Yep - Dillard checked back in.
65-60.
Under 2 now.

[FlyingArrow]

PW to the line.
1:33 to go.
1 and 1.
Still 65-60.
Makes them both - 67-60.

[frisco flyer]

DO is POG

[jack72]

Oliver deserves POG. What an effort

[FlyingArrow]

Oliver with a steal - then they foul him.
Oliver back to the line - he already has 10 this game.
1 and 1 for Oliver.
Makes them both.

69-60

[UDBrian]

Devin with two more free throws, 12 points

[jack72]

Two stupid plays by us

[FlyingArrow]

69-63 after NBA 3 by Upstate.
Under a minute to go.

Working the clock... and then a steal by Upstate... and a foul on the breakaway so Upstate has a chance for a 3 point play.
Argh!

[frisco flyer]

Not a good foul there by KD.

[UDBrian]

Dumb pass by benson, dumb foul by dillard as they get a three point play on steal. Three point lead

[FlyingArrow]

69-66 now.
23.9 to go.
Dillard going to the line.
Makes the first to make it a 2 possession game.
Misses the 2nd.

[udx2]

Devin is on fire. Best game he has had.

[FlyingArrow]

Bad timeout by Archie Miller.
4 seconds left and Dayton had the ball in cleanly, but the timeout means they'll have to do it again.

[FlyingArrow]

70-68 Dayton.
With the ball.
But now they can't move on the inbound.
4 seconds to go.
They do get the ball in... PW going to the line for 2 shots.

[FlyingArrow]

71-68.
72-68.
Ball game.

[udx2]

72 - 68. Did not think SCU would make it this close, but will take it.

[jack72]

Correction, we made it this close

[UDBrian]

Devin showed some of his potential today, good confidence builder for him. He can be an all around stud

[Flyer 86]

Looks like Mr Oliver made some giant steps forward in play and comfidence. Hugely important for thr team. Im proud and happy for him

Just catching up on boxscore and thread. Typical dayton hekyll/jekyll put good teams away , struggle against upstarts.

Usual CJ disappearing act but overallI good result.

[Tony T 71]

All the Devin Oliver haters can switch to CJ for a game

We are now 2-0 since I added the terrible towel as my avitar

[66flyer]

Flying Arrow, I hate the fake shot clock countdown because sometimes opponents are not paying attention and this alerts them. I've seen it happen many times.

[UACFlyer]

Why did our valued PG play only 25 minutes? He finished with only 3 PFs.

If the Flyers are such a different team when he's on the floor, I would expect Dillard to play 30 minutes, minimum, every game...absent foul trouble.

[San Diego Flyer]

Sounds like I missed a close one today.

It appears that we couldn't control the boards and our guards have 10 turnovers and 10 assists. We shot well across the board, 58/43/88. Tough to call this a bad game on our part.

Actually, last year I think we lose this game.

He had 2 fouls in the first half so he sat a few extra minutes there. He also left with a minor injury for a few. It wasn't anything serious just a charlie horse from what the tweeters said. I think he took a knee to the thigh.

Not pretty but at least we won. The other team did seem to hit quite a few last second type heaves.

[cj]

http://daytondailynews.stats.com/gamezoneCBKDayton.asp

If this is posted elsewhere sorry.

[UDBrian]

The game summary said he only played nine minutes in the first half due to foul trouble. Then he was injured with the wrist in the 2nd half, took a couple of more minutes away

[UDDoug]

I dunno. Too tough to compare years. If we defend and rebound today it isn't close.

Tony- I absolutely positively despise the Squeelers. But as long as it works for our Flyers, and yes I am getting superstitious in my old age, I will love your avatar. We screw up, and I am all over you for this crap though.
