Looks like the nerds running the espn prediction algorithm basically have this one as a pickem but with the HYGs as slight favorites.

Can't say that I know anything about Davidson other than Steph Curry went there and so did some kid from my HS class named Philip. Could text Philip about the squad to give us some info but I haven't spoken to him in years and it'd just be awkward gang. So not gonna happen.

Anyway, kind of an early tip off and at a neutral site in annapolis. I'm expecting a Bood dub and for guys like Jvon and Mac to up their games a bit after a little bit of a disappointing opening night for them.

Boogs 84 Davidson 76
 
Damn Philip must be loaded as tuition at Davidson is ridiculous.

Anyway, I saw the goat Bama huthut coach Mike Shula at a restaurant in Davidson once. And speaking of restaurants I have the misfortune of a dinner obligation on Friday. So hopefully we can put these gangly euro chalkies away in the first half.
 
Counter argument:

1. Text Philip. Tell him you saw AU was playing his old squad and it made you think of him. Does he know anything about the squad?
2. Don’t give a fvck what happens because you weren’t ever going to talk to Philip again anyway.
3. Post screenshots.
 
The worst thing you can say about Dayton is that they are coached by Anthony Grant. That gives us a significant advantage IMO.



I LAFFED...a lot. good stuff.

I've been home sick with a fever half the week and binging Netflix shows to pass the time. My brain has rotted out, but I have rewatched AU's opener 3 times. I'm here to entertain.

good work sir!
 
I just want to see us get into our offense with more than 18-20 seconds on the shot clock... do that consistently and I really don’t give a shit about the score

whether it’s running more off of defensive rebounds - causing more turnovers - or J’Von being more assertive - just give us enough time to actually run a few sets and get Austin and, we need a good nickname for Isaac, the ball in spots to attack

I don’t expect Davidson to be able to slow things down trapping and push us out so far from the basket before initiating our offense - I’d guess they’ll try to pack it in and force us to beat them from deep... but, I may be way off on that - I’m just assuming they’re not athletic enough to try to threaten us that far out and will choose to just get back and set their defense and not risk giving up anything easy if we can get by them 40 feet from the basket

the bad news is - we have no clue what our identity is yet... the good news is - we’ve got 8 guys who can get double figures in any game and enough talent that eventually we’ll figure out where the pieces fit best... the first step to that though is getting into the effing offense sooner so for now that’s all I care about
 
I go with a loud Ed McMahon-style "I O" whenever young Isaac makes a play.

it took months for Chuma to become Dr Chuma - so I’m in no hurry, Isaac just seems so plain for a HYG of that caliber... and Ike just isn’t good enough

it will come in time - but I waited so long to see my beloved Boogs my patience is thin right now

Not getting much help here from a nickname machine gang
 
Curious if Davidson will full court pressure the entire game like Ga Southern did. Being an ex PG, that really fvcks with your style of play. J’von figures it out in the second half, but I think the pressure is what had him the most thrown off in the first.
 
was worried about traffic and having enough time to pick up supplies (aka beer), but we're all hunkered in and ready to go. Bout to put a big ole TBONE steak in the sous vide circulator and hopefully I'll be enjoying it in celebration. Legggggggggggoooooooooooooooooooo

I can’t see these oafy MFers trying to press but maybe they try after we had a bit of a debacle against it in the openers. We should play much better tonight but Davidson pretty decent. Still Boogs gonna get that dub.
 
Gatdamn don’t these navy people know I got a dinner engagement at the top of the hour let’s tip this thing damn. Should have been the late game anyway.
 
Davidson's coach looks like the perfect typecast for the douchebag asshole principal in an 80s teen movie.
