#13/12 Dayton Lookalike & Game thread - MBB (Chicago, Saturday, 12/21, 4:30 PM MT, CBS SN)

[L Buff]

I don't have CBSSN, sooo ....

 

[sockdolager]

Battey was beastly.

Don't bet against Battey

 

[WarBuff]

What is the maximum number of times one should watch this before being uncomfortable. I’m up to about a dozen

 

[Daaah]

Don't bet against Battey

Yeah. My mistake.

 

[seattlebuff]

What a huge win. Only 10 turnovers, that's the difference. This was the team that we've been expecting all year, great to see our big 4 all carry their part of the load. If we can just get Gatling contributing 6-7 every night, we might do some real damage ...

I've been very down on this team the last 4-5 games, but hoping I'm wrong and this is the catalyst to put us fully back on track to the Dance.

Doofus, we were already on track for the dance. Now we are on track for an 8 seed or better

Lets just get a top 4 seed in Vegas first before we get too excited.

I said on track, not already there!

I had it on loop like 30 times

 

[azbuff]

Really, really great win. We looked like a top-25 team tonight and I don’t think we accomplished that even when we were undefeated prior to KU. Maybe against ASU.

Hats off to TB and the boys. Go Buffs!

I want nothing more than for you to be correct. I just think that's pretty damn optimistic. Let's see where we are in 2 weeks. Win 3 of the next 4, and I'll jump on that bandwagon.

 

[Heywood]

This is the Schwartz we were all thinking about before the season!!!!

Gross

Funny/odd - as the Buffs are taking the ball down-court, the dayton bench is standing, the Buffs all sitting. must have been confidence

Do you not understand the phrase on track?

 

[Buffnik]

I was wrong, I admit it. But the fact that we won like that should make everyone livid at the rotations and anaemic offensive play we've seen this last month.

Amazing win

Frustrated? Sure. Livid? Nah. There are ebbs and flows to basketball, whether we're talking about a season or a game. They look like they're on schedule for conference play.

 

[Heywood]

So I watched in a bar with the sound off. Were they really giving kin a bunch of ****? I’m so proud of that kid

 

[Shldr2Shldr]

Every free throw and early whenever he brought the ball up the court, they boo'd him.

 

[Buffnik]

I thought you were being conservative. I'd assume we're tracking at a 5 or 6 seed right now. That starts looking like a 4 if we beat Oregon.

 

[Daaah]

So I watched in a bar with the sound off. Were they really giving kin a bunch of ****? I’m so proud of that kid

Yeah. They booed loudly and the announcers commented on it 5 or so times.

 

[LifeofaBuff]

Kin's block in the back as he was diving for a layup that guaranteed Schwartz's 3 attempt was wide open was ALLSome

 

[tante]

I will pull some metrics later but I have a suspicion that we have a really good win percentage when we get 8+ points from the SF position. Schwartz only had 4 and 3 versus Kansas and UNI, but 8+ in Every other game. What an awesome win.

 

[Heywood]

Schwartz is the X factor. He plays good we win.

 

[BuffLuke80]

There are plenty of things that can be done better, hell of win though. Tip of the cap to these guys.

 

[Darth Snow]

I thought you were being conservative. I'd assume we're tracking at a 5 or 6 seed right now. That starts looking like a 4 if we beat Oregon.

I'm not knowledgeable to make that distinction so I played it safe.

 

[BuffG]

These guys are mentally tough. To come back in OT after blowing a lead is special. I’m still a big believer in Dayton and Toppin to make this W stand out.

 

[CUBUFF80]

Monster win, makes up for UNI.

 

[SewallBeach]

 

[RollTad21]

I saw OT luckily but missed most of the game. Damn in laws... Anyone know where/when this will be replayed?

 

[Da Lama]

This will stack up as a great win at the end of the season. Dayton will probably lose a grand total of 7 games. Add in the fact that UNI will probably lose a grand total of 5 games and these two games will really help come Selection Sunday.

 

[Daaah]

I'll **** a brick if we beat Oregon on the second. After this game, I actually think it's possible.
