One Down, Two To Go

BEVERLY HILLS (MI) – There is an old sports cliche that players and coaches trot out ad nauseum when they are faced with adversity:

“You gotta take it one game at a time.”

The University of Dayton Flyers did just that on Thursday night defeating the feisty Hawks of St. Joes by six. It was far from pretty, but it was effective. And the reward for the team as well as for the Flyer Faithful?

We all get to sit on our keisters for 24 hours.

This is the first year for the mid-tourney time out and I hope Bernadette McGlade decides that it will be the last. Take a look at the bracket, Commish – the top four seeds all played their first game on Thursday then sat in their hotel rooms on Friday. Ditch the day off!
