Dayton vs. UNC
I should just put up a couple pics and write "Dayton got this". Im not going to elaborate any further; I predicted once the bracket was released that Dayton would win the N.I.T. It won't be easy as Carolina is playing at a higher level than they did all year. I didn't think UNC would get by Rhode Island, they barely did with some help from the refs, and PRIMARILY b/c URI choked and missed FT's down the stretch. I can't say Im not worried about Dayton choking in this spot, but if they do lose the game, it will be within the last minute. This is the same Dayton team that knocked out West Virginia in the 1st round of the NCAA's last year-they have just become a bit more erratic and have lost most of the close games they won the previous year. Since their bracket draw, they seem to have corrected this problem. To give UNC credit as well, they ran through one hell of a gauntlet to get to this final, knocking off Miss. State, and UAB on the road, then beating Rhode Island a couple nights back. When Dayton is on, I think they can beat anyone in the country. I hope the refs don't decide this game on some questionable calls, or momentum shift. If all plays out properly, the Flyers got this. Dayton (-2)
How did UNC not make the March Madness tourney?
ReplyDeleteVery faulty stretch, and alot of injuries throughout the season disprupted continuity. Very young team, no real go-to offensive players, but they have a few more years to mature into a powerhouse which Im sure they will. Question you should be asking, is how Dayton did not make the March Madness tournament...
