We are in total disarray.
Ash needs to get control of the team. They are trying to win the game on each possession.
This game is not winnable. Just win the battles now.

Totally fine getting our teeth kicked in. Totally not fine with our upperclassman helping Dayton kick our teeth in.
Generally floored how poor our most experienced players look compared to our youngest.

Defense is as bad as the offense.

How’s St. Joseph’s of PA doing?

Compounding crappy basketball with crappier decisions.

Ash has to just run the offense through Croswell. WTF are we doing?

How’s St. Joseph’s of PA doing? Lost by 32...I was scared that Richmond -12 was too much.

Such an insufferable fanbase. They don’t deserve this type of happiness.

Horrific 1st half. We are obviously nowhere near ready to challenge the top teams in the conference.
What is most disappointing is this game feels we are not pulling anything positive out of this to use going forward.

This is a really rough start...i didn't expect such a bad 1st half...Dayton players came out tonight as the desperate team...We came out as if they're ranked!

ugly, ugly ugly. If we play the 2nd half the same way we could lose by 50.
Sure hope we play more competitively the 2nd half, the first half was embarrassing.

We may have had 3 decent looks all first half.

Truthfully I’m not gonna draw any conclusions based on tonight, or on Fordham Sunday for that matter. This is a team the caliber of which the A-10 doesn’t often see. Sure I would’ve liked it to be more competitive, but I don’t think it’s fair to infer too much about our guys based on tonight.

Dayton just looks way too strong. They have a lot of solid players, they have an NBA prospect (with 20 NBA scouts in our stands according to the announcers), they usually recruit well, and they're usually at 20 wins or more. I can't say I expected anything different from what I've seen so far tonight.
I know everyone has seen that lurking in the background for La Salle this season has been the potential for ice-cold shooting. That's made an appearance again tonight.
The good news is everyone gets well against Fordham and UMass is nothing special.

I’m not trying to pick on the guy, but Shaggy... I don’t need a spin move, I need simple basketball that you can execute. Because you make mistakes when you do all the extra crap.

I’d like to say I’m a fervent enough fan to tough the rest of this out, but bed is looking pretty good right now.

Dayton's only two losses are to Kansas and Colorado. Both came in OT. One came at the buzzer. Plenty more tough games for the Explorers...Just dont lose to the teams yu should beat and i believe they have 2 upcoming games they should win...Back to the drawing board and come up with a new win streak....

Just got home and wanted to make a few points. First the Hideaway tent was packed tonight. I've never seen it that busy. West side of the arena was as crowded as I can remember. Really great big game atmosphere. Unfortunately we just were outclassed. Dayton looks like they have the pieces to make a run in the NCAA tourney. By failing to be competitive we will lose many of the fans who attended tonight. It was an opportunity lost. Not blaming anyone, Dayton was terrific and our guys played hard but a close loss may have energized the fan base. Ash is making progress and it's not fair to expect more at this point. It's not easy being an explorer fan. On to Fordham.

Also just back and agreed on the stands and the tent. Dayton is an Elite 8 team..no question in my mind. They ran the floor well, found each other, and got after it on defense, denying us any open shots until garbage time. We aren't there yet to compete with a team of this caliber, but fortunately neither is most of the A10.
Toppin is a basketball specimen. The guy runs the floor, had no-look passes like a guard, can stroke 3's, and is physical...and it looked like he didn't even break a sweat. He was having fun and laughing the whole night. He might be the best all-around player we've seen in the A10 for as long as I can remember. Hard to believe he is only a sophomore. This guy is a 1st round pick, and if he stays one more year, could be lottery, but I think he goes.

Damn good team.
Lot to learn from
Can’t come out flat and think you will win at home.
Need more intensity and hard nosed play. Was not ther tonight but there will be. Keep the faith.

Tent was packed. The works said it’s the most crowded it ever was. The 6 or so white claws I drank helped with the performance. Was that The Screamer that made an appearance with 10 minutes to go?
