Guessing the music that is played is some sort of rap(music I don't care for). It's for the players and students though. Anybody care for the video and song selection for the starting line up? I miss the days when they had a song that most people in the arena knew. Now people just sit and wait for it to get over.

Agree about the music - the whole "production". Bunch of jive BS. Football games too - they started playing BS music between plays? Really? We need some noise filling every moment of the game? And then at the Bucknell game at least, there was this "hostess" with a mic running around talking, well yelling, and giving running contests of something and some other crap. Siddown, enjoy the game, leave me alone, get off my lawn!!

My perspective is,who cares what other teams are doing? Seems to me the mindset of “well everyone else is in the gutter, so maybe it’s not so bad that we’re laying there with them” is part of the problem.
Also, regarding Dayton. Kudos for them scheduling Kansas!
I’ve said this before, and I understand the difficulties regarding better scheduling, but I’d rather schedule all P5 teams knowing we’ll likely get out hats handed to us.
However, once in a while David defeats Goliath and man, you can’t beat that level of excitement.
Another plus of better scheduling…I imagine recruits (and current players) like knowing they’ll be on TV playing the likes of Michigan State, Kansas, UCLA etc. (I can’t imagine anyone is excited over Chicago State).
Lastly, better scheduling leads to better visibility. Better visibility leads to better recruits. Better recruits leads to better winning percentage. Better winning percentage leads to NCAA invites
NCAA invites leads to more money coming in. Honestly, it’s pretty simple

This entire program needs a reset and quickly…

Dayton beat Kansas in an MTE tournament.

Common ground CaliRdBrd- agree we need a reset!

Don't think Dayton scheduled Kansas specifically, it was part of a tournament. Kudo's for choosing or getting picked for that tournament tho.

Edit - quinn beat me to it!

My mistake.

Still…and I know it’s easier said than done, but schedule better. Even if it means “one and done’s” on the road.

Our band should be playing not canned music. The local JUCO where I live do a great job with the pep band, dance team and cheerleaders at the football and basketball games.

Regarding the game, one issue we have been having this year seemingly every game is we keep fouling 3 point shooters. From my memory, I believe Reeves has done it at least twice (Bucknell and PNW). It has got to be one of the biggest momentum killers and needs to stop. Has this been a problem in prior years?

Reeves fouled a 3-pt shooter twice in the Buffalo game. One in each half.

And 1 against SLU too.

This has been something we have done pretty consistently going back a few years, between that and the illegal screens it drives me crazy.
