Dayton

[Litehouse]

PS... Correct me if I'm wrong, but all of the Jesuit schools with navy schemes (MU, Zaga, SLU, X) are based on Georgetown's colors, right?

What?  Never heard of that, and it doesn't seem to make much sense.

[MU72491]

Despite all of the campus wide sh|t-storms MU has endured over the past 4-5 years, Dayton's PR folks would probably trade places with ours in a millisecond.

Google:

"Dayton New Logo President Son"
"Dayton Dyshawn Pierre"
"Dayton Matt Kavanaugh"
"Dayton Devon Scott"
"Dayton Jalen Robinson"
"Dayton Sigma Chi"
"2013 Student Falls University Dayton"
"Dayton Trademark Ghetto"

Wow your a loser who has no idea what he is talking about. Didn't Marquette have a sex scandal not to long ago? And how does the student housing affect the big east.

This right here is message board gold.

The U.S. Civil War greatly affected Georgetown as 1,141 students and alumni enlisted in one army or the other, and the Union Army commandeered university buildings.[11] By the time of President Abraham Lincoln's May 1861 visit to campus, 1,400 troops were living in temporary quarters there. Due to the number of lives lost, enrollment levels remained low until well after the war was over. Only seven students graduated in 1869, down from over 300 in the previous decade.[18] At its founding in 1876, the Georgetown College Boat Club, the school's rowing team, adopted blue, used for Union uniforms, and gray, used for Confederate uniforms, as its colors to signify the peaceful unity among students.[19] Subsequently, the school adopted these as its official colors.

Grammar, spelling and punctuation....it is the internet trifecta.

Seems to completely ignore the order of operations.  That guy is terrible!  Ugh!

I promised myself (and Scoop) that the next time I did this, I'd close my eyes... but I just can't contain my own inquisitiveness. 

As a current Dayton flyer senior who goes to every Marquette game when in town I think Dayton deserves to be in.  I have been a huge Marquette fan all my life and will always be. In the beginning of the year I laughed at my flyer friends who said Dayton was better than Marquette. As I watched all season both teams play (obviously if they played at the same time I would watch Marquette over Dayton) I do think Dayton is better than Marquette. They are very athletic and can really shoot the three. I always think Marquette can beat anyone on any day, due to the coaching and how tough we are, I think Dayton would beat us this year as sad as that makes me. They have a great fan base and I do think they would be a nice member in our conference

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Well TAMU, if Dayton sucks at 19, what are we? We have not done too well the last 2.5 years, so do we blow?

Dayton sucking has nothing to do with their success on the basketball court. Dayton just sucks.

Having lived near there I will whole heartedly agree with this.

[Pakuni]

Maybe Dayton should learn to spell their own nickname before they earn admission to the Big East.

[keefe]

My stretch pair of Sansabelts are a comfortable fit.  But, I have been told they are not an attractive look.

A scarf wearer!

[keefe]

It truly is impressive how much hate for a school one douchey poster created.  That was some good alienating Dayton guy.

He must have gotten a rejection letter from Dayton

Lost at home yesterday to St Bonaventure.
Impressive.
The A10 sucks.

[GGGG]

St. Bonaventure was a fringe tournament team even before yesterday's win.  (Bracket Matrix had them in the "Next Four Out.")

[PE8983]

Fringe tournament team?
Please...  They have beaten nobody.  We have a more impressive resume.

Their RPI is 34.  Ours is 110.

[Pakuni]

Their RPI is 34.  Ours is 110.

Which goes to show the uselessness of the RPI (not MU's low rating - the Bonnies #34 rating).
Their best non-conference win was over Ohio (Pomeroy #122), followed by Buffalo (#145).
Their two best wins are over St. Joe's (Pomeroy #40) and Dayton (Pomeroy #49).

And further evidence why Broeker should feel like an asshat and be truly embarrassed of himself.

It's a dead horse, but there is just no excuse for this horecrap schedule. I havent watched St. Bonnie, I am sure they're a decent squad, but I bet MU would beat them 8/10 times.

Those are the reasons why they are only in the "next four out" range.  But there is a reason why they are a fringe NCAA team and Marquette isn't.

Doesn't really matter.  If you take out our four 300+ opponents, and plug in four sub 150 opponents, our RPI is still mid 70s.

It's avtually 5.  The 6th Jackson St. a surprising 213, but still low.

Bonaventure 67 in KenPom.  75 Sagarin. 34  RPI

MU  101 in KenPom.  87 in Sagarin.  115 RPI

Any measurement you wish, Bonnies are ahead of us.

It most definitely matters, whether you want to believe it or not. MU would actually still have margin for error! The whole buy game schedule was beyond pathetic. Beyond that, this is something you and I have already discussed plenty, so I will leave it at that.
