Flyer1407 Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Just wanted to let all you Akron fans know how impressed with your team and coaching staff I as well as many Dayton fans are. I said this in another thread but it bares repeating....Inside and out you guys are tough. Dials is a great leader out there, he was really a calming influence in a tough place. McNees had absolute ice water in his veins late drilling a huge 3. I thought Middleton played great in the 1st half but got in foul trouble and wasn't the same player late. And Wood was an absolute beast inside. Kurt Huelsman for us inside is a legit 6'10 260 and he had his way inside, I have seen Character (Louisville) and Blair (Pitt) play in person this year and he was as good if not better than both offensively. I thought the X factor of the game was Linhart he did a great job on Roberts. I also thought Dambrot coached one helluva game subbing at exactly the right times and taking good timeouts. His only knock is the final shot where Dials took a wild 3 coming out of a timeout, I thought for sure Wood would get a shot.From a Dayton standpoint I think we really missed Chris Wright and his athletic ability on the glass and on the break tonight. I think it's sad that you guys play the schedule you do. You have a team who could beat a lot of big time teams. Even if it was just subbing a sub par game at home for a road game @ a BCS school I think you guys would be a top 30-35 team. Glad those of you who made the trip enjoyed yourself at the Arena.Can't wait for the return game next year at the Jar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Z Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 So your going to take Akron in your bracket when we get a 15 seed against Pitt who gets a 2 seed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosAngelesZipFan Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 thanks for the posts flyer...I'd love for us to add better opponents and appreciate the validation that we should. I think the only way to start winning games against teams like Dayton is to play more of them and just get comfortable with a different level of competition.
