Upsets! / Surprise results.

[Mr. Sand-Knit]

Mid-majors, low-majors are like porn.  You know it when you see it

Maybe the only time i will ever root for kansas, hate hate hate Dayton!

[wadesworld]

Think he would be an intriguing candidate.  While he's only made NCAA 3 times in his 12-year coaching career, VCU, Alabama, and Dayton aren't exactly tradition-rich programs and certainly don't have the resources, recruiting appeal, and tradition of MU.  He closes out Year 3 at Dayton strong and makes a dent in NCAA via a win or two?  I think you consider him - only if we miss NCAA this year in Year 6 of Wojo regime.  Keep Stan, and we'd likely keep the recruiting class.

Every main contributor to Dayton committed before Grant was the head coach.

Yep, all Archie’s guys.

Go and look at the rankings of Dayton’s players.  Chalk full of zero, two, and three star recruits.  Begs the question.  How are they playing so well?  I’ll wait for answers.

Playing so well through 6 games of the season. Those 2 and 3 star recruits that are playing so well haven’t made the Tournament the last 2 years.

Dayton is a magical place, the UD Arena brings out the best in young men. You wouldn’t understand.

Not totally true.  Brought in two transfers - Rodney Chatman and Ibi Watson.  Also their top guy Obi Toppin was Grant's recruit.

Maybe we can do better than Grant should we re-enter the market for a head coach. That aside it will be yet another indictment of Wojo if Dayton finishes ahead of us in KenPom/NCAA tournament in year 3 of his tenure.  Bad enough that Travis Steele at Xavier and LaVell Jordan at Butler are seemingly outperforming Wojo in years two and three of their tenures, respectively.

Dayton went to OT against Kansas tonight.  I shudder to think how we'd stack up against Kansas at present.

On what basis? Playing more games against cupcakes? Beating a Mizzou team that hasn't beat anyone?

Yeah this is a dumb take.

The only thing this says is that in any given year some teams are good and others aren't as good. Dayton looks like they are good this year.....is it an indictment of Bohiem and Syracuse if they are better then them in year 3 of his tenure? I mean Jimmy is a Hall of famer he should be better then Dayton right? Was it an indictment of Huggins when WV was last place in the Big 12 last season and worse then MU n year 5 of Wojo's tenure.....I mean Huggins is a hall of Famer. Mike Brey was 14-19 last season.....

Grant may have figured it out or this may be a one year wonder.....this is Grants 12th season as a head coach.....at VCU, Alabama and now Dayton.......how many top 50 Ken Pom teams has he had before this season which is still,yet to be determined?

Answer 1..... in 2012.

Wojo has 2 in 5 seasons.

I’ll wait for answers.

Ah yes, was surprised some people hadn't been back - until I fixed registration.

Confirmation that elonerslapper is a thing?

Obi was a Grant recruit, or at least signed with Grant.  Same with Crutcher, another pretty good player.

Can you un-fix it?

Dayton is a magical place, the UD Arena brings out the best in young men.

I agree with this analysis.

I mean, where would any young man rather play, UD Arena or Cameron Indoor? UD Arena or Madison Square Garden?

It depends on the man. 5-star burger boys need not to apply, they can keep the MSG and Cameron Indoor. They cannot thrive in Dayton, this is a city of blue-collar, greasy hands and 1992 Chevrolet Cavalier.

In Wojo's year 3, Marquette finished the year #32 in KenPom.

Right now Dayton is #25.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[IrwinFletcher]

Anyone who saw how Dayton defended the last second in regulation vs Kansas would not want Grant as our Head Coach.  Basically had 5 guys standing doing nothing when everyone could see what the play was.  KU got a decent look that almost went in.

[jonny09]

Playing so well through 6 games of the season. Those 2 and 3 star recruits that are playing so well haven’t made the Tournament the last 2 years.

And Markus won’t even get a chance in his final year to win a tourney game.   

[wadesworld]

So it has been said. Cancel the season everyone. No need to see it play out. We played a couple bad games in November.

[MuMark]

Kind of like Grant had a future NBA player(Jamychal Green) for 3 years at Alabama and only made 1 NCAA Tourament and didn't win a game? Also had Trevor Releford on that team.

It' early. Iowa leads #12 Texas Tech by 7 on FS1.

Look for Hawkeye Elvis and his clan on the sidelines.
