[FlyingArrow]

Tied so far.

[udstevied_D87]

stream is up and "working"

[tirebiter]

What link? On the one mentioned above all I get is redirected to annoying ads.

[SHQCKEY]

Anyone else notice that 4 out of the 5 pictures for our starting lineup were wrong?

[UDBrian]

The pictures were so screwed up it was funny. I didn't realize that Vee Sanford hasn't been practicing at all. He not only has a sprained ankle but also has a sprained achiles.

[rollo]

Need Dillard to stay HOT....

Up 10-8 wih 15:41 left.

[m21eagle45]

I see DMO still hasn't learned dribble before moving his feet on the perimeter.

[udstevied_D87]

you gotta x-out the annoying ads then it'll bring you to the stream. It's a hassle but once you do it, you should be done

[Falcon7]

DO has that travel DOWN! He's the best at it...

[tirebiter]

Still no good with any link for video for me. Even trying to x out of ads redirects me. All is I got a headache. I guess I'll just be happy with gametracker.

[FlyingArrow]

12-10 with 13:23 to go

[FlyingArrow]

14-10 Dayton.
10:51 to go.

[SHQCKEY]

Foul a 90% FT shooter on a 3? Seems like a good idea...

[FlyingArrow]

15-14 Butler
10:07 to go

[SHQCKEY]

Offensive flow has not been good for about 4 minutes... and another turnover... and a 3 by Clarke

[SHQCKEY]

And 1 for Vee. Big bucket to stop the run.

[FlyingArrow]

18-16, 7:53 to go.
Free throw for Vee coming up.

[FlyingArrow]

18-17 after the free throw.

[m21eagle45]

Man we get killed on inbounds plays.

[dnutz77]

Oliver killing us lately...jeez

[FlyingArrow]

Pierre stops some bleeding... back to 21-19 Butler.

[FlyingArrow]

24-19 Butler
5:08 to go.

[UDBrian]

Butler killing us with three pointers. UD down 8 with about four minutes left.

[UDBaby]

Anyone else get the feeling that Chuck Knoblauch or Steve Sax taught DO how to play basketball?

[FlyingArrow]

30-22 Butler
3:43 to go.

[Alberto Strasse]

plays withthe poise of Don Knotts. He hits nothing but rim on his shots and cannot play defense. But he's probably got a great personality.

[Alberto Strasse]

really did a shabby job on the opening. They showed pictures with names of players and all but Kevin Dillard for UD were wrong.

[FlyingArrow]

32-28
51 seconds to go
One more free throw coming up for Butler.

[FlyingArrow]

33-30 Butler at the half.
Could have been a LOT worse.

[SHQCKEY]

A little momentum going into half. That last possession was one of our better defensive possessions all season.

[UDBrian]

nbc sports said that they are going to replay the end of charlotte/richmond during half time

[UDBrian]

I thought the team played hard and played well for the most part. Devin did not have a great half but Vee looked good, dillard only took good chances, Benson was aggressive. Pierre received a nice compliment when he posted up when the announcer said that butler needs to double up on him. I thought Pierre played better in the secoind part of the half

[TA111]

Actually, we've played pretty decent. Butler is 5-11 from 3 and we haven't made one yet we are only down 3. We are getting a ton of good looks inside. Keep TO's down and we win this thing.

And maybe guard the 3 point line?

[jack72]

We have only take 2 three's. That must be a record for a half in recent years. Only 5 turnovers to their 6, out rebounded by 3. The only thing holding us back from the lead is Benson's 3-9 shooting.

defending their 5-10 from the 3 is what's holding us back...

[FlyerGuyer]

If we can shut down (or at least contain) the perimeter in the second half, we win. That's a big if, though...

37-34 Butler

[SHQCKEY]

Josh, we've watched an entire season of your missed jumpshots. Just stop.

[FlyingArrow]

39-36 Butler
16:44 to go

[FlyingArrow]

Layups on the other hand, keep those up, Josh.
39-38

[FlyingArrow]

40-39 Dayton
15:38 to go.

[rollo]

Clarke is a GUN...a cold one...let him shoot from 28' all day!

Flyers looking strong...keep running!

[SHQCKEY]

KD!!! Let's keep it going.

[lhsgolf19]

Very proud of the effort today... Keep it up boys!

[TA111]

Keep it going. We are getting great looks.

[Falcon7]

Is Mr. Miller sitting with Archie's Wife or ??

Clark just pushed OFF!

[FlyingArrow]

Bad sign when Dillard is missing a free throw.

[FlyingArrow]

Butler hot from behind the arc... 48-46 Butler.

[SHQCKEY]

Twice now Butler has hit 3s on three consecutive possessions. We are outplaying them for the most part.

[steve]

that's twice today UD has given up 3 straight 3's in less than a 2 minute span...

[Falcon7]

Awful!

[FlyingArrow]

50-46 Butler
11:38 to go

[FlyingArrow]

50-48 Butler
11:06 to go

[Falcon7]

BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[lhsgolf19]

A bad call by A10 refs stunner! BS

[longtimefan]

Butler tipped that ball - should not have been a backcourt violation!

[Falcon7]

They are beating the crap out of p-air, and finally a foul...

[TA111]

Hey officials- when the defensive player tips the ball into the backcourt it is NOT over and back violation. Man, these guys are bad.

[SHQCKEY]

No foul in all of that?

[udstevied_D87]

gettin killed on the three

[udstevied_D87]

and benson is taking shots as almost far as a three.

[SHQCKEY]

**** this

[dnutz77]

Dillard trying to do too much again....Benson being Benson....par for the course baby!

[FlyerFanatic08]

ball game..finally this nightmare of season is over.

certainly not watching CBI if they choose to do that.

season is over as far as i'm concerned.

[Alberto Strasse]

Way to much dribbling with no productive finish. He looks exhausted again.

[Alberto Strasse]

needs to be in the game to chuck up treys. Defense is irrelevant to the Flyer's season now.

[VirgM]

Moving forward to 2013-2014

[Falcon7]

Getting killed by 'Squeaky' Fromme...

[cj]

Clark with his 6th 3. Down 9 with 3:12 to go.

[FlyerFanatic08]

MD is going to be relegated to walk on minutes next year...with the guards we have coming in with sanford/sibert on the wings...he'll get no minutes.

[San Diego Flyer]

On the contrary, with Scoochie Smith, Davis, and Price, our ballhandling will be better, our penetration will be executed better, and Derenbecker will get more open looks in his 12 to 15 minutes a game.

KD was not always looking for the open man, trying to do too much himself in my opinion. I believe we will be better off without him. Too selfish for my liking. Dribbles too much and tries to go through walls has the ball stolen or he just turns it over. For all the good he does and he does a lot he also has cost us mightily. Like our chances with our guards for next year.

If we don't get the invite for next year and 2014 instead I think the extra year in the A-10 will help Archie shoring up his troops. And with the knowledge of being in 2014 should help with recruiting.

[cj]

Where is MD?

[SHQCKEY]

Why aren't we just fouling Jones right now? No one is in foul trouble and he is god awful from the line.

[udstevied_D87]

and choking on the offense boards late in the game again! jesus.

[SHQCKEY]

Nice sense of urgency as we run the shot clock down and turn it over... Got one back from Robinson... Seriously need to be fouling Jones right now.

[rollo]

Clarke's not cold any more....

[TA111]

Won't miss Dillard's many turnovers.

[Falcon7]

Mad Props to TA111 For This Totally Excellent Post:
dnutz77 (Today)

Really guys, pretty pathetic!

[Fudd]

We have given up points so easily all season. I was not suprised by today at all.

[SHQCKEY]

Ah forgot there is a good coach on the other side. Took Jones out on offense.

[dnutz77]

What would you have done differently if you were AM? Play all your horses at the end of the bench? Intrigued to hear how you would do things differently?

[TA111]

We had a chance to foul their worst shooters and didn't do it.

[dnutz77]

Originally Posted by TA111 We had a chance to foul their worst shooters and didn't do it.

I'm sure AM instructed them to foul Clarke or someone else who shoots around 80-90%. Obviously.

Love the passion, hate the lack of common sense on here sometimes.

[longtimefan]

Now we foul them and they don't call it. Refs suck.

[ud2]

I don't know dnutz, they had a clear opportunity to foul Smith, and they didn't do it. Why didn't they foul Smith???

And as others have questioned, why wasn't MD in the game at the end to shoot 3's???

[VirgM]

Same olde collapae that we seem to specialize in at the end of games

[Alberto Strasse]

are awful. They said UD beat LaSalle? Just not this year.

[TA111]

So we foul their best ft shooter when we had a chance to foul Woods. Dumb playing.

[SHQCKEY]

Maybe Butler has 3 technical fouls up their sleeve a la Richmond.
