I'm concerned about Venning extending out on D to cover Holmes - who has extended his range and blow by ability. Wouldn't mind seeing Bonnies go small with Evans checking Holmes to extend and keep him in front. I would expect Schmidt to utilize the matchup zone some tonight. We usually break that out of the bag for the biggest games.

When we play Dayton, I remember how the Flyers fans cheered us on in that play in game v UCLA. On their court. 2018? Nothing but respect for UD. That said, looking to score a sweet upset tonight. Enjoy the game, and thanks to the Board for the pregame analysis. It adds to watching the game.

IMO, we win the rebound battle, we win. Rebound stats show hustle and hustle is what it will take. Go Bonnies

They’ve been the A10’s flagship program along with VCU since the exodus of Temple and Xavier. Bonas, Davidson and Richmond probably the next tier. SLU wins 20 games each year but their fans and coach are slimy a-holes. Beating UD is as good as it gets for Bonas.

We have twice as many A10 titles as they do since 2012

A couple of observations from a Bona Grad and Fan (98) that lives in Dayton, has UD season tickets, and has been to every UD home games this year.
1. As posted earlier, UD is wearing their Chapel Blue uniforms, which they only break out for big games. They aren't taking the Bonnies lightly.
2. Rebounding has been a massive problem for Dayton this year. They've improved recently but UD can go through streaks of failing to box out and be aggressive on the boards. This could be an advantage for the Bonnies.
3. UD's offense runs first through hitting three point shots and transition offense. If the threes aren't falling, they struggle mightily unless their opponent doesn't have much of an inside defensive presence (we do).
4. Lastly, UD has struggled with the zone this year. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Bonnies go zone early and often.
The students have been drinking in the student UD "ghetto" since about 6:31a.m. this morning (beer and fruit loops), it's going to be a wild scene tonight.
Go Bonnies!!

Been to U D Arena a few times, including for U C L A - BONA and cheered FLYERS on at N C A As in Buffalo. Enjoyed talking with U D fans there & here but just saw a "welders" reference on their board, that's low brow Bilikens' board material, Dayton fans just dropped a notch with me.

We have twice as many A10 titles as they do since 2012 You’re right but just showing respect, bro. UD was 29-2 when the season got shut down 5 years ago. They also made 4 straight trips to the NCAA tourney under Archie with a couple deep runs. Doesn’t that trump a couple A10 titles?

Like the announcer just said: "BONNIES got to value every possession" so far, not looking that way.

Haven’t scored but only down 4 after 4.5 minutes. Got to find a way to move the ball more quickly.
