OT: 'Cuse has fallen

Submitted by StoneRoses on

Our second favorite team in the tournament (Dayton) has just toppled the Syracuse Orange. Wisconsin also on upset alert. Are we on pace for a rematch of a rematch of a rematch with Michigan State?

I had OSU in the Elite Eight but my bracket will be fully recovered versus the others in my pool if Dayton can do that one more time.

Don't worry about it. If you upset some people on here about a redundant rule it says more about them than you. I have never understood why I need an announcement to indicate that I am about to read a title that will indicate that the subject has nothing to do with Michigan athletics.

Lot of History at UD for your dad to be proud of.  Chuck Knoll, John Gruden, Ann Meyers, etc.  Team lost to UCLA in the tourney in triple overtime in '74 when UCLA had a streak of championships, etc.  Recently rated the 20th most valuable basketball team in the NCAA.  Go Flyers!

Harvard is probably my second right now, obviuosly Dayton did me a solid (had them in Sweet 16) but i also picked Harvard getting there just because i can't stand writing MSU more than once

I actually stayed with this game most of the way, and for a long time, it was pretty brutal. Indeed, the eFG% for both teams at the end:

Dayton - 48.91%, much of which came in the second half. 

Syracuse - 38.9%. That includes being 0-10 from three-point land, of course.

Offensive rebounding was 30%-ish for both teams actually. If Dayton had taken advantage of the nearly 40% free throw rate and not gone 10-18 from the stripe, it probably would not have come down to a desperation three for Syracuse (which missed, of course). 

Nonetheless, Dayton goes to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 1984, I believe, and if Syracuse can find its way out of its own zone, they will vacate the locker room.

if someone says Beilen is a bad coach?  That's so clearly incorrect, it discredits anything else the person says.  Indiana's one fo the blueblood programs; the fact they aren't in the tournament speaks volumes about Crean.

For the shit he was talking. It's truly amazing how well these coaches sell their programs. He continued to bring up Michigan not being good for 20 years and the Fab 5 sanctions. He must forget Kelvin Sampson and the last time Indiana was good.

Of course, State did catch a huge break as well with a key Iowa State player getting injured yesterday.
