Interesting twitter feed from a guy who's a fairly regular guest on ESPN.

Let's break down Dayton:

-dropped their last two games to George Washington U. 81-87 and Davidson 67-73
-shoot as the 35th best 3 PT squad in the nation at 38.7%
-run about 8-9 deep with three guys averaging 13+
-not a great rebounding team (244th)
-not a strong FT shooting team (219th)
-takes care of ball (29th A/TO)

Notable wins: ETSU, Vandy, Rhode Island 2x, VCU

Notable losses: George Washington, Davidson, UMASS, Nebraska


If we can get their top three scorers in some early foul trouble and force some turnovers I find it hard to believe they match up very well with us anywhere else. Kentucky, here we come.

^^^ This all day ^^^

We can rebound with UK.

Let me guess, a knowledgable Walmart t-shirt wearing KU fan?

Exactly! For three or four years now he spouts off about KU superiority, even on WSU articles that make no mention of KU. Oddly he was missing in action after their performance against TCU this week.

I really don't understand the people with this chain of thought. Completely understand hating on conference rivals, since I'm the same way with most Big Ten teams. Everyone keeps bitching about how weak the Valley is, but then turn right back around and actively hope for another Valley team to miss the tournament? It makes absolutely no sense.

Agree! Some people don't have the ability to make sense. Very sorry for the Redbird. Hope they win the NIT

Check the Eagle's Facebook post. Read the comments. Anyone else wanna go kick the **** out of Jay Rollins?

Who reads Facebook comments? Especially Wichita Eagle Facebook comments?

Make us a 7 and Dayton a 10, what's the difference?

The fact that based upon the information we have, the MVC Tournament finale was probably an elimination game from our perspective despite a top 8-15 ranking across the board in nearly all advanced metrics. Don't be an ostrich and pretend that precedent isn't shitty.

From the Dayton board:

Wichita State has HOT, HOT HOT cheerleaders. Pictures tomorrow...

From the Dayton board:

Weeeelllll..... it's actually the dance team I'm sure they're referring to.

Dayton fans think WSU seeded about right with no wins against tournament competition.

We gonna take their lunch money.

You're coming off as a major league defensive KU fan right now.

Oh, are you talking? I can't hear you through my Ignore button. This is our last interaction, you petty, sad internet troll.

Enjoy the tournament! Might not want to cheer for Conner Frankamp too hard. You know, since he is a KU fan and all. ;)

Had WSU vs. VCU, picked the wrong one but it was all too easy to know that Wichita would be paired up with another non-P5.
