no idea what you were watching but that was a helluva game. KU played great, just not perfect. Best performance so far this year. Dayton is the real deal. Fantastic game to watch. [Reply]

They should have been. Smarter coaches will just send out bodies to foul him at the end of the game to prevent KU from just tossing down to him endlessly. [Reply]

wasnt he 4/6 on free throws? If he can sustain that the end of the game hack a doke might go away. :-) [Reply]

Just because he did doesn't mean he can. Its nice to face a coach with honor and Dayton seemed to have no interest in the hack a doke strategy. It worked, but it is a mistake to play Udoka in close games beyond the 3 or 4 minute mark. As it turns out he was one of the reasons we won the game and played great...but you shouldn't be relying on him like that down the stretch when SDS or McCormick can almost equally replace him and shoot much better FTs [Reply]

Yeah, I hope he can maintain a 67% rate. I would bet against it and the analytics says Dayton should have also.

I agree that Self shouldn't be trusting Doke at the end of the game. Let him prove he's past whatever mental thing he had with FT's. [Reply]

Like Jay said in the broadcast. the game wasn't close because KU was playing bad, they were actually playing great, it was that Daytona was that good. [Reply]

TRIGGERED derp
And no, everyone was laughing at you last year (and it actually wasn't a bad schtick until you got to the point where you couldn't possibly exaggerate any more, yet kept going). [Reply]
