Ohio State vs. Dayton

[Boston Red]

I know, it's only the NIT, but it should still be pretty interesting. I can't recall the last time these two programs faced off.

I believe the last time they played was an NIT game as well. Maybe the late 80s. I think Dayton won.

I agree should be an interesting matchup and I expect Dayton to give the Bucks a heck of a game. I heard a rumor that it may be played at St. John's again. Anyone know if there is any truth to that?

There is nothing scheduled at Value City Arena for the 26th. I heard that old St. John Arena did rock tonight and was VERY LOUD.

Word out tonight is that there is no conflict at the Schott that night so the game will be there. However, the tickets will remain 1st come 1st serve. They will probably not sell out, but they should be able to get 15K+, and all of them will be fans that want to be there. They go on sale at hangonsloopy.com at 10am tomorrow morning.

Chris Wright will be a major key for Dayton. In 10 minutes of play tonight, he had 9 points, a handful of boards, and a couple of blocks. He dictated play in the paint. Did I mention that he's a freshman and hadn't played since January 9th.

Hopefully that ankle doesn't swell up too much and he's able to give 15 minutes on Wednesday. I don't think Dayton can win without him doing so.

Hopefully UD fans travel up there for the game. We generally travel well, so it could be a fun atmosphere in the Schott with 1,000 or more crazy Flyer fans.

Huh, I was wrong. I'm pretty sure UD did beat OSU in the NIT one year. Must have been a few years prior.

Two of my fav teams... but I will be rooting for the DAYTON FLYERS!

You had me wondering, guttle. I checked and they have never played each other in the history of the NIT.

Dayton won the NIT in 1962 and 1968. OSU won the NIT in 1986.

He was desperately needed. I hate to play the "what if" game, but had he been healthy all season then they're at least a 7-8 seed in the big tourney.

Well then, pay no attention to me...

Chris Wright just makes this Flyer team a totally different team. I wouldn't give them much of a chance to beat the Buckeyes if he wasn't playing, with him I think they have a chance.

Too bad he couldn't have been playing during the A10 tourney. I think the committee may have taken it into consideration.

GO FLYERS!!!!!
