Will be a good test for us tonight.

Agree. Dayton has some size in the front court. And Gregory recruited several of their players. They will play hard.

Picked short summary this up from espn:

Points Rebounds Assists

DAY Pierre 15.3 Oliver 8.7 Oliver 2.7

GT Golden 15.3 Miller 8.3 Poole 3.3

 

[GTJason]

Their starting 5 should be able to keep within reach of our starters, but our depth should make this one pretty easy

Will it be on tv?

Hmm, looks like it's ESPN3 exclusive.

Keep the radio handy.

 

[Midlands Jacket]

First Row Sports if you don't get espn3 is a good site to see the game.

 

[Eric]

GT up 9-4 three minutes in.

 

[kg01]

Good start. Gotta keep working for better shots.

 

[Eric]

MGH playing well

 

[kg01]

Indeed. What a boneheaded coaching move for Dayton leaving their best player in with 2 fouls.

 

[kg01]

Keepin them in it with TO's

 

[Eric]

Yep.

GT up 4 with a little over 6 to half.

 

[potatohead]

wow, really frustrating. golden commits 4 turnovers, 3 consecutively. 10 turnovers already. robert carter needs to get the red light from the arc. he takes his chances frequently and rarely hits it.

 

[ASURAMS07]

This has been the worse first half performance of the season so far. This will not cut it in ACC play. I hope they come out strong in the second half and put it on Dayton. They have two of their best players in foul trouble and Dayton bench is not that deep. Lets Go Jackets!!!

 

[collegeballfan]

Where did the Jackets get the idea that they were a 3 point shooting team? It is OK to work for a nice shot in the paint.

As some of us said, Dayton would be a challenge.

Seem to be playing waay too fast. Can't believe I'm saying this but we've gotta slow down and grind it on both ends.

we need to take what dayton gives us. when the break is on, we've had opportunity but haven't converted. at the end of the first half, it wasn't there, but we still wanted to keep up tempo...our guards need to manage that better or coach gregory needs to get louder. ugly, ugly way to end a half.

 

[ASURAMS07]

Ugly, ugly way to start the half. If we don't get serious quick Dayton is going to run away with this game SOON!!!

 

[potatohead]

this is embarrassing. can i just have one team, one team in one sport, of all the teams that I follow, not look like a disorganized mess? Even if we get our **** together and get a win out of this, its still so, so ugly
