We'll have to play 40 minutes of Flyer-ball to cover that. I, for one, would like to see us play solid for the full 40 minutes and stop letting teams back into the game.

40 minutes of solid play and Flyers should cover.
Has that happened yet?
The 17 open should start coming down a point or 2.

I don't know .... St Louis always scares me.... They always play their best game of the year against us. And it looks like they are playing the young guys now, and doing much better....

18 is a good halftime line. Game line should be like 4.

Wouldn't touch the line in the mid to high teens. SLU is playing much better, and that's not built into the line. That said, a well played game from UD has the potential to be a 20 point win. While SLU is playing better, and scoring more points, they are giving them up about as fast as Davidson does. Very unSLU like

You should be happy today, and all of us as well. This is a great sign for the Flyers. We have not been getting teams down and stepping on their neck. Last night we did that. No one saw this coming. Need to do the same thing against LaSalle.
We have a center maturing before our eyes. Steve came within one block of a triple 7.
7 points, 7 rebounds, 6 blocks. Take that every day of the week!!

Happy? Try Freaking Ecstatic! Actually, we started off the game slowly, but once we got over the hump, we kept moving forward. Funny, I used the "stepped on their neck" line in the drive out of the lot. This is what really good teams do. Yes, we owe a "neck stepping" to LaSalle!

I think teams that crush their opponents with regularity have a second string almost as good as their first string. We don't have that. We have players who will be as good in time, but not now. So the 35/40 minutes of intense concentration takes a bunch of energy out of the prime time players who are looking at a 20/25 point lead already.
A lot of that huge winning margin was because SLU was, well, pathetic for the whole 40 minutes.

Diego ... I hear ya man! I agree. I thought a bit about the game last nite and said to no one in particular, if StL had done more toward their average on hitting baskets it may have been tighter. They lost some emotion once UD put a 20 point gap in the 2nd half. StL poor shooting contributed to that gap. A better team may have caused us more issues.
I think the freshmen coming off the bench have yet to show significant game results IN CONFERENCE which is conversely different than earlier in the season OUT of CONFERENCE. (Limited playing time IN vs OUT of CON hasn't helped their "in game experience".)
Could Archie be holding some cards back? ........
We shall see ...!
