Wouldn't want to get into a game with Dayton where you have to rely on them missing Free Throws to tie or win a game. They're Clutch. Different times in the 2nd half I thought KY was ready to blow open the game, and then here comes Dayton back to tie the game.

More then missing Azia Bishop, Free Throws cost Ky this game.

Azia Bishop has got to be hurting thinking she cost her team a win to go to Sweet 16. Where were her teammates to keep her out of trouble?
 
I saw a sign in the crowd that said "grit.". Dayton had it in spades. Both teams were fearless, but winning on the road in the tourney is extra challenging. I am impressed with those Dayton kids.
 
SO happy for Jabir and Dayton! What a great win for them.

Agreed. That 2nd half for Dayton was Villanova-esque.

People earlier were speculating that they put all the Male coaches in the East to somehow diminish their exposure in favor of promoting the female coaches. Man, I've been watching games all weekend and it's been nothing but exposing great guys coaching their teams. Jabir. The A&M with UA-LR matchup with two 700+ win coaches. Syracuse. Even St Francis. If this was a conspiracy from the election committee they failed miserably.
 
Kentucky missed 14 free throws...that is the reason they lost this game.

Dayton played great, no doubt, and props to them.

Bishop is a senior and should be keeping the under class out of trouble, not the other way around. What was Bishop thinking?

Uh, no, the shooter was in the air. Not a charge -the defender had to give her room to land safely.

Yes'm. You are correct. Use that video at the next referee training session. And it really wasn't all that close.

I'm not feeling much sympathy. KY got a lot of calls that were unbelivable.
 
BTW... High school all americans on Kentucky:
  1. O'neill
  2. Goss
  3. Thompson
  4. Epps
  5. Harper
  6. Rice
High school AA's on Dayton - Ally Malott.

Kentucky had a huge advantage on paper in talent. Over rated SEC. Sort of gives credence to the argument that L'ville fans had vis-a-vis their 3 seed vs. Kentucky's 2 seed.
 
Changes the whole look of the Albany region. Now if USF beats Louisville at home, it will only have to beat Dayton to generate an all-AAC Elite 8 match in Albany. Not as remote a possibility as it appeared a few hours ago.
 
That Ally Mallot on Dayton was rather impressive. 6'4" with 3-point range - 40% for the season - is nothing to sneeze at. Her line for this game was 9-13 FG, 3-4 3FG, 7-7FT, 13 rb.

So hard to believe that the grueling SEC schedule wasn't enough to knock off the 2nd best team in the Atlantic 10...

As a remark - I'm with you.

But just to be fair - Dayton might very well be the "best" team in the A10, they lost twice to GW during the season and again in the tourney, their only A10 losses. Maybe a bad match-up? They were very highly ranked at the beginning of the year and had a rough patch OOC right at the beginning, with losses at Washington State and Gonzaga to open the season and at Iowa shortly thereafter. That was their 6 losses.

I really thought they would be dangerous in the tourney and was a bit suspicious of UK - but I admit I wouldn't have predicted the upset.
 
For a team to score 94 points and only have 12 assists on 33 field goals I think says a lot about the KY offense.
 
A truly great game. Grats Dayton.

Of course now the question will always be what would have the game been like if that other senior didn't have to sit out for breaking curfew.
 
Enjoyed watching this game, enjoyed the outcome. Loved the energy and as others pointed out, grit of the Flyers.

But I would have been okay had KY won - wouldn't mind knocking them out of the tourney yet again! :rolleyes:
 
Kudos to Dayton. They refused to give in and fought back.

They are a worthy opponent.

Not sad to Kentucky go. Didn't think they were a #2 seed. But this may be the future of the tournament with P5 teams getting preference.

Dayton is my Alma Mater and I am so excited for them. It was such a clutch performance. This is their first trip ever to the sweet 16. I'm hoping the men will make it there this afternoon too!

Ally Malott, by far the best player on the floor.
 
I'm pretty sure that we recruited Ally early on. Many of us were surprised at her mid-major choice.

Congrats to Ally, Coach Jabir, and the Flyers.
