Announcers pretty funny and insightful.

The last time we were at the top of the A10 pecking order was 2006 so not sure that is a reasonable standard.

EDIT: I could be convinced 13-14 we were also top tier A-10 team but that's twice in the last 16 years. I'd say 5th in the A-10 is probably where we should be hoping to get back to.

That frozen ball sums it up.

Holding them to 80% from the field, 70% from the 3. Surprised we are down.

Literally no one on offensive boards for us.

I understand LSF, but it’s down to talent and the disparity is too great to get upset today. Remember GW hasn’t been together as a team for even a season.

The real problem is How the freak does GW begin to recruit AND retain the kind of players Dayton has?

Glad proven D1 player Knapp can't crack this effective line-up.

So True!

More likely, this is the real GW vs a quality opponant.

Dayton has an rpi of 80 versus 26 for Davidson, so I don’t think so.

They are embarassing themselves on the Court. They should just concede and go home rather than continue with this pathetic performance.

We shot insane during the first half vs. Davidson.

**Posted by GW0509** 2/12/2022 2:36 pm

At this point it's all about matchups. The reason we could stay in it vs. Davidson and getting blown out vs. Dayton is they play completely different styles of basketball. Our strengths are completely neutralized by Dayton.

Also I think Dayton has objectively way more talent on paper than Davidson, they're just young and have lost some stinkers.

I am done huffing the fumes of the LaSalle and umASS wins. This score is pretty accurate of this game, and the disparity between these two teams.

**Posted by Long Suffering Fan** 2/12/2022 2:38 pm

FYI...I took GW getting 7.5 in first half. Not spending that money yet.

**Posted by Long Suffering Fan** 2/12/2022 2:38 pm

It would be nice if the announcer didn't have to say "tough shot" after every time GW puts up the ball.

"Another off-balance,tough contested shot."

I disagree LSF. For the 3 previous years nearly every game was like this. It’s painful and it sucks. Long term we probably share the same concerns but saying they should quit. I don’t like that

Difference between Dayton and Davidson is toughness, size, and athletes for Dayton. Davidson has great coach and a system that he finds players that work in it. GW can’t compete with Dayton’s of the world when you really have 5 max high major athletes, less quickness, little size, and debatable toughness. Dayton announcer is all over GW effort, or lack of effort.
