Is Dayton a program we can/should aspire to model ourselves after? Asking, not just because of ranking, but I know very little about their culture, history, location, recruiting, etc...

They've been a national brand since the 1930's.

Thanks, listening to their announcers apparently Dayton never fouls. 

[BillySee58]

We hit 4 threes in a row but didn’t do enough on the defensive end to make a big dent in the lead. Down to 12 though

[CMJ]

Dayton 43 --------- NT 31

 

15:50 to go

 

 

Hitting some threes anyway.

[CMJ]

Dayton 50 --------- NT 35

 

11:59 to go

 

 

We had it down to ten very briefly.

So yes the feed is up, but my gosh the announcers are annoying as hell! Shouldn't complain but oh well lol

Shooting is better, but full court press is making us look bad

[BillySee58]

We have never been a good press-breaking team under Grant. Except for Woolridge who was a one-man press breaker. Kind of puzzling why we don’t look prepared for it

[CMJ]

Dayton 57 --------- NT 45

 

6:34 to go

 

 

We won't go away.  Really nice fight from the good guys.

[CMJ]

Dayton 64 --------- NT 50

 

3:44 to go

 

 

Had it down to nine ever so briefly and I wanted to believe.

[NorthTexasSportsNetwork]

I liked our effort for sure. Never gave up

[CMJ]

Dayton 71 --------- NT 58

 

 

Final

[BillySee58]

Good effort. Actually made shots in the second half. Just really need to work on fighting defensive pressure and inbounding. Way too easy for Dayton to force turnovers when pressing and off our inbounds.

[drex]

C-USA teams better be ready for the Mean Green.

Had about 5 turnovers from inbouding. 19 overall

Onto UAPB

[GrandGreen]

Slow start and way too many turnovers.

Underwise it would be a NT win. 

Zack Simmons best game ever, he could dominate in CUSA if he played like he did tonight.

Hamlet has another good game as Dayton overplays Gibson.

Looks like they have a blueprint they can study.

we shall see

We held Dayton to their lowest scoring output so far this season... despite 19 turnovers.  We seem to be doing that to a lot of teams so far.

I think part of that can be chalked up to Mac’s slow-developing offense, taking a lot of time off the clock, and with it, Dayton’s scoring opportunities.

But I think a greater part is that this team likes to get after it on defense.  Looking forward to conference play & a strong run at the Star in early March.

We have held every team I think (minus OU) to their lowest scoring game

Probably should but we haven’t. Couldn’t even tell you where Dayton is. You’re definitely not the first person to say that and it’s frustrating that you bring it up like no one has thought about that before because you’re not.

Dayton has literally been nationally relevant for decades.  They're not some fly by night success story.

Below is the Twitter thread explaining why Men's Basketball and Football are not allowed to be streamed through KNTU and KHYI internet streams. The gist of it is that Learfield entered into an agreement with TuneIn to stream all its member institution games. OTA stations needed to set up geofencing for their streaming otherwise not stream any games. In NT's case, the stations opted to not stream the games. Women's Basketball is different because I guess the games are produced by KNTU and not Learfield.

Caught the 2nd half on espn+, and was very surprised to see UNT as close as they were late in the 2nd.  I have always been a big college basketball fan, and though graduating from UNT, I never really followed their program.  Dayton has a very well known program, easily in the top 25 going back 30+ years, and their building is almost always full.  If UNT can build on this, then they can do some damage in conference play.

What part of my statement “we should aspire to be like Dayton but we haven’t” did you not understand?

“Probably should but we haven’t” is me saying they’re a quality program CMJ. You’re saying the same thing I’m saying. You’re opinion don’t mean crap since you thought Mitchell Robinson was going to be a star coming out of WKU. So move along with your BS.
