Can Dayton win it all?

**Cuse0323** · 03-27-14, 11:58 AM

I don't get the Dayton love around here and opposite for Stanford. A lot of Dayton backers gonna be disappointed come nightfall.

Why is that? Stanford is nowhere near as good defensively as Syracuse or Ohio State. I get the fact that it IS Stanford playing Dayton but every year there is a team that makes a run like Dayton, except Dayton has a guy who isn't afraid to take control of a game and he is very good at it. Don't sleep.

IMO

Michigan State beats Florida in the Championship.

This is a team that is very athletic and they ain't scared of anybody. Let's be realistic here; there is no clear cut best team. Anybody can beat anybody.

They will lose to Stanford tonight. Stanford plays defense something that Ohio St and Syracuse don't know how to do.

Come on Big bear, step it up

I'll give you OSU but Syracuse wasn't good defensively. Don't let the scores of their games fool you, it was only because each game consisted of both teams holding the ball for 30 seconds. Dayton barely snuck past two terrible offensive teams. Randle can ball, Brown can shoot and Huestis/Powell down low. Stanford is no fraud.

I can respect that. But I think Dayton pulls it off.

Did you really just say that? Ohio State plays as good of defense as any one in the country. They are horrible offensively, but to say that they don't know how to play defense is amazing

**PaperTrail07** · 03-27-14, 01:25 PM

Who'da thunk we would be discussing DAYTON.....lol...I kinda agree.....they could go down but then again....they could win it all..i imagine -8-10 vs FL tho

**James D** · 03-27-14, 01:33 PM

Dayton hasn't proven anything yet to say they can win it all. They beat the orange and that's it, Syracuse hit the skids hard late and didn't recover. They were 25-0 and lost 6 of last 9 to close season with only a couple tough teams in the nine games stretch. four were road games, three home, two neutral.

I like Dayton and will be rooting for them but they can't be in the win it all conversation yet.

**jtoler** · 03-27-14, 01:38 PM

Depends on which Stanford shows up, Ive seen two different teams this year, one that looks lost and one thats more assertive and aggressive. The Stanford that played Zona at home, good team, the Stanford that played UCLA on the road, bad team.

**CP Thrizzle** · 03-27-14, 01:49 PM

This is laughable.

**Smoke** · 03-27-14, 01:51 PM

Where amazing happens

**jtoler** · 03-27-14, 01:55 PM

One thing to think about is you know Archie has gotten some tips from big bro about some things to do against Stanford.

**sourtwist** · 03-27-14, 01:57 PM

Is this thread real?

**LT Profits** · 03-27-14, 02:03 PM

No Dayton won't win the championship, but they can certainly win tonight. I think the two teams they already beat are both better than Stanford.

**Justin3587** · 03-27-14, 02:05 PM

What's with all the snide remarks from the Newbs? Isn't there a special forum for those cats?

**uvarunthetable** · 03-27-14, 02:08 PM

I think Dayton has a very good shot to beat Stanford tonight, but think they would lose to the winner of the Florida/UCLA game if they move on. But it's not like it CAN'T happen, anything is possible.

**BoS_010** · 03-27-14, 03:13 PM

I'd be shocked if they won their region but if you're interested in them winning it all they're +10000 at BetOnline. I'll be rooting for them though; gotta root for at least one Cinderella.

Florida, Louisville, Kentucky, Arizona and MSU are all clear cut better than Dayton. They have no chance to make it to the finals. It's over tonight.

Not necessarily since Stanford is not among the teams that are better than them.

I passed, but I do lean Dayton tonight.

You watched the games though remember.....multiple times......Stanford rolls I think is what you said

**Walulu** · 03-27-14, 05:18 PM

Cuse is still steaming from last weekend when he punched his ticket for this game hours before the actual tip. Obviously talent wise there are better teams than Dayton still in it however we thankfully still play the games. As someone said anything can happen. For Dayton it already has twice; same for Stanford since neither have been favored going into this one. Should be a good night of basketball.
