Can't agree with 81alum on Dayton, though. The flyers were an excellent team last year, but they lost a lot to graduation. This year they look more like a very young team -- eight freshman and sophomores on the roster -- with irregular flashes of talent. They played excellent defense today against Maine -- the Black Ursines rarely got a good look at the basket and broke 30 only with a scoring flurry the final two minutes en route to a 58-37 victory. Player to watch: Guard Amber Deane, No. 5, whose surprise slashes to the basket always seemed to catch Maine by surprise.

I just watched the Dayton/Maine game, which is also still available.  You are right--Dayton does not look terribly threatening.  Then again, neither did Santa Clara.  Let's just hope for a good game tomorrow and that our team shows that it is learning and improving.
