flyers bigs can all handle the rock the length of the court better than most (honestly cant say if davidson 4 and 5 have that ability or not?),
flyers a battle tested group who i think are just simply much tougher minded, physically stronger, and coached better than davidson who quite honestly havnt beaten one legit team off of their floor all season.
not trying to knock davidson they been good to us all, but i think you giving vcu more credit than they should get for beating a team that is relatively young with no real experience in this type atmosphere being their 1st year in a good conference..
like i said i do worry about the flyers lack of depth and the fact they have had to battle a couple tough teams, that said even tho davidson was a cake walk today vcu has played 1 extra day and they did get a couple tough gms from richmond and lasalle. none the less i think the better team is the dog and more importantly that team is well equipped to deal with vcu's pressure as they did when they went to vcu and only turned it over 8 times in a W, if you can deal with havoc on rams court where they traditionally a nightmare i think you can handle it on a neutral..
all the fatigue concern does for me is make it a normal type play instead of a bigger one on dayton. if vcu continues shooting treys like they have the last 2 days so be it but i dont think for one minute that dayton is gonna allow them to run around and get a bunch of open looks. miller is a really good coach and his team plays smart ball, they gonna turn this into a grind it out affair because they have the adv in the half court on both ends..
