Anyone watching lousiville- dayton?

Bria Smith looks a little like Bria Hartley.

Was thinking the same thing. She's from NY too.

Let me put it this way: I was pretty confident UConn could beat Kentucky, Louisville, or USF if the regionals got that far...but I'm even happier the Elite Eight opponent is Dayton.

82-66 Dayton wins

Walz, super pissed, gives Dayton coach the quick shrug off

Yea


Caught that too

That was a pretty bizarre performance by Louisville.

Gotta love the freedom Dayton plays with. Well coached and have a scoring mentality.

 

[alexrgct]

If Dayton pulls off the Bluegrass State double, will they be anything more than just happy to be there against UConn?

jim Jabir: "we're playing with house money and we'll do our best". So to answer my question, the Flyers will just be happy to be there against the Huskies.

That was disrespectful of Waltz! Show whathe and his teams real character is!

Cardinal loose 5 seniors.

I'm impressed by the ability of folks to intuit so much from a momentary exchange in a handshake line.

Apparently Jeff's trajectory is a little less zippy than he desires. It is times when you are tested that you have to stay classy Jeff. You flunked this one.

Dayton played for the most part sound fundamental basketball in the 2nd half and then made their Free Throws. Dayton scored 52 points in the 2nd half. 11 in last two minutes of the game when Louisville started fouling.

Box Score: http://espn.go.com/ncw/boxscore?gameId=400786692

If Dayton plays like they did in the 1st half, UCOnn will have 25+ point lead unlike Louisville losing by 1 point at the half.

So you don't have eyes. Dayton coach was talking, he rips his hand away and moves on. What is to intuit???

 

[choochoo]

Great day in Albany for Uconn!

 

[CocoHusky]

Refs calling a tight game - think the publicity after the last game had some effect. Dayton is well coached. And their band is awesome, lots of fun.

Good point about publicity from the last game. Silly of Louisville to get into penalty so early against a good foul shooting team. Not Mitchell' s best coaching job either.

???? I think not.

Walz, super pissed, gives Dayton coach the quick shrug off

Walz was a little more than pissed; he was disrespectful and behaved like a bully. At first it just looked like he would petulantly zip past the Dayton coach but he deliberately stormed into his path shouldering the guy aside. While doing that, Walz kept his grip on the other guy's hand preventing him from disengaging Walz. What a baby! No wonder Louisville is getting a "reputation."

Walz didn't rip his hand away, just the opposite, he held onto the Dayton coach's hand pulling him backward. Walz is a punk.

Karma is a bitch Jeff.

I respect Jeff as a coach but find I don't care for him that much. I "liked" your post but what did yo mean by it?

No intuiting involved. Watch again in slow motion.

As I said, I'm impressed...

Why, Eric, whatever you want it to mean in order to keep liking it!

How is this Dayton team who lost 3 times to George Washington and beat UMass by 9 at home to end the season smoking these SEC/ACC teams?

 

[Bestiarius]

Excellent coaching by Walz! Now he doesn't have to play UConn and avoids the embarrassment of a 50 point beat down.

No so much excellent as it was smart. No need for him to cast even more negative light on his program.

I was shocked to see Jude Shimmel running up the court and just heaving up shots rather than trying to set up a good shot. there was still something like one a h a half minutes left yet she did it play after play without a time out by Walz. A real head scratcher.

I was surprised by that too! She's usually very composed.

End of her college career starring her in the face in a pretty hopeless situation.

That's what I figured.

Jeff probably underestimated Dayton ... then early fouls and some bad shooting hurt Cards' visions of the Big Stage against Huskies and Geno. The drubbing by the Flyers obviously a big disappointment...but no excuse for disrespect.
