Where can I pregame 5ish that wont be overrun with bengals fans?Last edited by Bearcat9796; 12-15-2023, 04:18 PM.Leave a comment:

Holmes is a load, but he isn't a true post player, in the sense that he hangs around the lane. He also brings the ball down the floor and facilitates for others. Holmes can shoot a little from outside (30.7%) but isn't as dangerous as Nate Santos (60.7%) and Koby Brea (49.1%). He also leads the team, by far, with 26 turnovers.Dayton has shot exactly 50% from 3 in each of their past 3 games (10-20, 14-28, 10-20). There is a way to slow down their shooters though as Houston proved when they held the Flyers to 4/18 shooting from deep (22.2%).
This will be the main key to the game along with shutting down DaRon Holmes who is the best 5 man we've faced so far this season.
Per barttorvik.com, the Flyers are elite at scoring from outside (#8 nationally) and avoiding fouls (#9). They have not been good at defending the treys (#268) or at defensive rebounding (#287). The Flyers also play at a very slow tempo (#358).
UD have scored in the 80s twice, 70s three times, 60s three times, and 50s once (UH).Leave a comment:

Agreed-- The team must come out prepared to play. Dayton will be. UC must go beyond the hype and play a full game under control on the court. My hope that this game will be the springboard desperately needed for conference play.The game against Dayton is a measuring stick game for Miller. Dayton has played a pretty strong non-conference schedule. UD has played four (4) Power Conference schools and are 2-2 against them. Over the three years that Miller has been the UC basketball coach, he has played ten (10) Power Conference schools in the non-conference and has played nationally competitive Houston (before BIG 12) five (5) times and nationally competitive Memphis four (4) times. Miller has an overall 5-15 record against these teams. That is a 25% win percentage. By the way, Miller has NEVER beaten Houston or Memphis. Dayton is a nationally competitive team and has some very good players. Miller has been a head coach for a long time. It is time for him to start winning these types of games. This game is going to show us a lot about Miller. I hope the results are in Miller's and UC's favor.Leave a comment:

Great analysis. Yes he needs to start winning some of these games & at a clip closer to 50%. If this doesn't improve well......The game against Dayton is a measuring stick game for Miller.

Over the three years that Miller has been the UC basketball coach, he has played ten (10) Power Conference schools in the non-conference and has played nationally competitive Houston (before BIG 12) five (5) times and nationally competitive Memphis four (4) times.
