    For what it's worth, Dayton just put 66 on VCU in the first half.

    66 points in a half against that press?  KD has got to check out the video.

    Keep in mind that Grant is the one who installed Havoc at VCU, so he knows how to attack it.

    Wouldn't upset me if their leading scorer misses another game or is at least a little hobbled.

    The roads are bad, but I don't care.  I'm on my way to Palumbo to see the Dukes win!

    Missed some early bunnies and some late free throws or we'd be up a few more.

    Didn't play particularly well, but still lead. Got to make some shots in the second. Mike needs more looks.

    This is going to be a loss if we don't start hitting some shots. None of the guards have played well today.
