[Barney Sentner]

Hopefully Jayla is healthy today because Prange will be healthier than when GW visited last month.

[jaburr91]

Scaife is listed as a starter for today's game.

Layfield not starting.

[Cardsflyer]

What did Layfield do to not get the start?

[Avid Flyer]

Layfield is dressed but coughing on the sidelines sitting next to coach green. Probably not play if not needed. Got a cold I guess.

[jaburr91]

Phillips in before Layfield.

[jaburr91]

Flyers not shooting it well so far.

[jaburr91]

Harris with 2 fouls in first quarter.

[jaburr91]

These refs....

[jaburr91]

Dayton trails 8-12 after first quarter.

[tirebiter]

Anybody having trouble getting live stats to run? I just get a blank screen and "game starts at 12:00" message.

[jaburr91]

Same here -- GameTracker isn't working.

[Avid Flyer]

Miss Layfield badly.

[jaburr91]

Hopefully Ward can give Dayton meaningful minutes.

[jaburr91]

GW exploiting the inside.

[jaburr91]

Here's the ESPN stats

http://dynamic.espn.com/womens-colle...meId=400996275

[jaburr91]

Dayton leads 29-24 at halftime.

Burdette and Cannatelli both with 7 pts, Ward with 6 pts.
Burdette also with 5 rebs.

[Barney Sentner]

Good work by ward and wilmoth with Alex in foul trouble.

[Avid Flyer]

Wow halftime report and they can't even mention UD or GW. That's what's wrong with women's bball. Only one team gets all the press even when they are not playing. Share the news there are other teams out there.

Layfield in!! Gotta believe this was some type of discipline.

[jack72]

There goes Layfield's double double streak. But just win!

[jack72]

As big a margin as we have in shooting percentage and rebounds, it is hard to believe we are only up by 7

[jaburr91]

Layfield making up for lost time with 6 pts -- that double-double isn't totally out of the question!

[Barney Sentner]

The rebounds will be the challenge.

[jack72]

GW reaches and slaps more than a seventh grade team. Refs not calling them, so my as well.

[jaburr91]

GW is missing a lot of shots so the rebound opportunity is there.

[jaburr91]

Dayton leads 49-37 after third quarter.

Burdette with a HUGE three at the buzzer -- very Crutcher like!

[Barney Sentner]

Jenna such great clock recognition for that three at the buzzer certainly not a panic three and the announcer oops said it's halftime.

[Avid Flyer]

Go figure throws an air ball from parimeter then nails it from half court

[jaburr91]

Dayton scoreless first 4 minutes of 4th

[jaburr91]

5 minutes.

[jaburr91]

Scaife ends the drought. Whew!

[jaburr91]

Dayton lead down to 3. 51-48

[Barney Sentner]

Now's the wrong time to be missing layups.

[Avid Flyer]

Without Jenna heave at end of qtr game is tied.

[jack72]

Too many forced dribble drives. One basket in 6+ minutes.

We have allowed GW ten more shots than us.

[jaburr91]

Tied up at 53

[Barney Sentner]

Terrible shot selection by GW to tie or take the lead?

[Barney Sentner]

LC money at the line

[jack72]

Okay, not over, but at least we can exhale.

[jack72]

Do not understand playing Phillips in a free throw situation.

[jaburr91]

Dayton wins 57-53!

Ugly 4th quarter but end result is 14 wins in a row!!

[Barney Sentner]

Good team win playing at GW tempo and without Layfield for 2 1/2 qtrs now week off to rest and prepare for senior day against Fordham.

	Fordham FORDHAM Fordham University is an independent Jesuit university established in 1841 as St. John's College on old Rose Hill Manor in the village of Fordham, then part of Westchester County in the Bronx, NY. The name Fordham is derived from the Anglo-Saxon words "ford" and "ham," meaning a wading place or ford by a settlement. Rose Hill is the name given to the site in 1787 by Robert Watts, a wealthy New York merchant, in honor of his family's ancestral home of the same name in Scotland. The College was originally staffed by diocesan clergy. The name was officially changed to Fordham University in 1907. Fordham's 10 schools enroll 14,448 students. There are 7,652 undergraduates, of whom 3,842 live in University-managed housing either on-campus or in the local community. Fellow members of the A10 Conference. Nickname is the Rams. Athletic claim to fame is consistent mediocrity in nearly all sports and few A10 title winning programs.

[jack72]

We met the enemy today and they was us! Eight points in the first and fourth quarters and 21 and 20 in the second and third.

Duck back in the bus and take an ugly win on the road.

[Avid Flyer]

Dayton played to their strength last 2 min.....defense. the O wasn't working, GW had the MO but UD had the D.

All wins are pretty even when played ugly.

[Barney Sentner]

After today how can this team not crack the top 25?

That's an easy one, called east coast bias

[UD62]

Seeing as we are currently 32nd in the AP and not ranked in the top 40 in the coaches poll, I doubt we make the jump

[Barney Sentner]

South Florida beating Ohio st today by more than 20 beat ud in ot which helps the Flyers case.

Winning 14 games in a row....half on the road.... is nothing to sneeze at. But, as far as the Flyers ranking is concerned, I think the issue is strength of schedule....in the ~120 range.

[Chris R]

Probably luckier than good in the 4th quarter. We got away with one despite Turnover City and giving up too many threes late. Somehow we eeked this out. GW is tough to beat at home.

Probably the best news of the weekend is Duquesne lost at home to SJU this weekend, giving us a bit more breathing room in the race for the regular season title. We have three tough games remaining against 3 of the top 4 other teams in the league.

This thing is far from over. Gotta keep taking care of business.

	St Joseph's ST. JOSEPH'S Founded by the Society of Jesus in 1851, Saint Joseph's University advances the professional and personal ambitions of men and women by providing a demanding, yet supportive educational experience.

Will the A10 be a one bid league this year? Opinions.

Yes 1 bid unless someone takes the A10 tourney and auto bid.

St Joe is now at full strength and could be dangerous.

[jack72]

You see the difference this weekend between the women, a veteran team, and the men, a young team. The men lose their second OT game, and struggle to do the right things in OT. The women sucked it up, and ran an awesome play with great passing to give Harris a layup, and then made the defensive stops at the end.

That passing and layup was very impressive.

[UACFlyer]

Do you mean....."yes, one bid,....the A10 tourney winner, only"? That is, the Flyers only shot at the NCAAs is if we win the tourney. (?)

[Barney Sentner]

If they go undefeated or even one loss they should still get to the NCAA tourney even slipping up in the A-10 tourney.

[UACFlyer]

OK,....I hope we make it. If we do, our play the rest of the way and in the tournament will determine our NCAA seeding.

We lost to two ranked teams in relatively close games. Since then the caliber of teams we've been playing has been average at best...hence our low SoS ranking.

For both the men and women making the Dance is not enough. Winning in the NCAAs matters. Last year the men got shafted unbelievably by their seeding....our tough luck. Whatever, hopefully the women make it and play well when they get there.

IMHOP-
Win out and lose in A-10 tournament - should be ok.
Lose 1 and then another in A-10 tournament - big time bubblicious.

When your are the #12 conference in the country - below the Mid-American, Ivy, Colonial, and Horizon - you get very little respect.

Currently - RPI=39, Non-Con SOS=64, Single top 50 win (UVA)

One other note - GDub has won or shared the A-10 title the last 3 years. We also had not won at GDub in 6 years. To win today with an ailing Layfield is no small accomplishment.

[Avid Flyer]

The women are getting some of their injured players back.

Ward looked really out of shape coming in after her injury but today she looked much better and contibuted points and rebounds.

UACFLYER yeah should have been more clearer but UD should be in even if they lose A10, barring any calamities. Only Calamity UD is allowed is the assistant coach.


If UD wins A10 tournament think they are only team from A10 NCAA bound.
