Do you think our guys will come out with a fire in them wanting to prove everyone wrong? Or will we see a Memphis repeat? I pray they come out and take this opportunity and run with it!
How do you think we come out?

I think they come out with a fire. Memphis Game is the only game I remember with this group where they seemed to just quit. They seem so thankful for the opportunity to be in the field they shock Michigan.
I hope Smith keeps getting healthier and can actually rebound. And Birt actually takes some 3s.
Press still gives us no respect.

I was very confused as to why we shot so few 3s against memphis. Many games we shoot too many, but have to shoot some. Hope everyone is right. I think the will come out strong, I don't expect another vcu type run but I believe in this team and when we are on, we can be incredibly dangerous!
Talking heads saying Tulsa gets blown out. Put that on every door in the DWR, and on campus! That is motivation material right there!
Didn't SMU blow out Michigan at Michigan early on? And we beat SMU in Dallas I do believe.
It depends on whether the team that beat SMU In Dallas shows up or the one that got thumped by the Tigers. I'm not confident but I'm hoping for the former. We definitely need to hit a few from long to open up the inside and we need to play tough man D.
Swannegan was the only bright spot against Memphis. TU can't play any worse than the Memphis game...Birt and Woodard have to show up for the Cane to be successful !
My bad. The SMU game was in Dallas but 82-58 SMU. And that UCONN game was in Ann Arbor 74-60 UCONN win. So they were 0-2 vs the AAC.
Gottlieb has had a corn cob up his butt ever since the Golden Hurricane beat his beloved aggies in Stollwater! Time for Doogie to get over his dislike for TU and move on....
Michigan did lose to those two teams, but teams do improve over the year. Those two games were at the beginning of the year They've got a guy who can the 3 Luke none other. Almost shooting 50% from 3. And we just laid an egg our last game so we don't have too much room to talk.
Not just the talking heads brutally dissing TU, but some clown analyst on espn did a number on Frank Haith that to me, a non-attorney, is borderline slander. I'm paraphrasing now, but it went something like....Frank Haith, here's a guy who does anything to win. He was at Missouri and before the NCAA comes down hard he leaves town. He goes on to mention the last Mem score & that Mich will slaughter TU. Wow! How do you feel about Tulsa, a$$hat? Don't recall his name, but someone will certainly mention it to FH & the team.
I believe it was Dan Dakich. I heard it too. They've been dissing Tulsa and Hsiyh most of the show. I turned the garbage off.
my perception of the first round is that Dayton fans mostly fill in the crowd. There are fans from each of the two 11 seeds - about 750 or less - but it is a neutral court. Ohioans don't necessarily root for Michigan, even OSU fans, which see Michigan as their arch rival. I don't expect a road game.
Yes, washed out former head coach Dan Dakich called Haith a "walking probation", basically accusing Haith of doing dirty business and moving on, leaving programs in shambles.
Considering Haith was not directly linked in either case, he did serve a suspension at Miami as being responsible for the program, I would say Dick-itch's comments were pretty slanderous, and as a former Bobby Knight player and Asst. coach, he learned his classiness well.
Haith is no Saint, he got himself tied to some shady activities perpetuated by Asst. Coaches, but both schools he was at were rotten to the core before he arrived. Boosters who give millions to those Universities gained irregular access whether Haith wanted it or not.

Ann Arbor is only 3 hours from Dayton. There will be a ton of them there. It will absolutely be a road game. Michigan is one of the top 10-20 supported teams in the nation. We match up pretty well with them on paper. They don't have much of a frontcourt, similar to us. Smith will have his work cut out for him. His (probable) matchup, Robinson, is 6-8 and shoots ~50% from 3. We can't lose their guys on the perimeter.
Time for Haith to finally win one in the tourney.
Our team's biggest weakness all year has been covering the 3 point shooter, not rebounding or inside defense like most thought. We had better cover the outside shooters Wednesday.
Yep. Hopefully them being relatively weak inside will mean we won't have to have our guards help in the post so much.
