Here is the box score for the game two years ago:
http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/boxscore?gameId=400548467
We have four players who were on the roster then but only two who played in that game, Gbinije and Cooney, who scored 10 points between them in 47 minutes of play, (the others were Coleman, who was injured and Roberson who, in JB's words "wasn't able to help us" that year). Cooney's stats: 1 for 6, 0 for 4 from the arc, 2 points. We'll need more than that Friday. Gbinije had his best game that year, hitting 4 of 5 from the field and scoring 8 points, although he didn't exactly fill up the stat sheet otherwise. It was a flash of what was coming later. The big stat of the game is that we were 0 for 10 from three point range.
Dayton had five players who are the current team, four of whom played, (Bobby Wehrli had a DNP). Kyle Davis played 3 minutes and Kendall Pollard played 8 minutes. Scoochie Smith played 18 minutes and scored 5 points. Dyshawn Pierre was their leading scorer with 14 points in 32 minutes.
Two final observations:
That's a small number of players to be on the same team two year's later.It's a comment on the state of college basketball. We could have had Tyler Ennis at the point and Jerami Grant and Chris McCullough at forward.
Three schools have beaten us twice in the NCAA tournament, all at least a generation apart: Duke, Kentucky and Ohio State. These Dayton players have a chance to do it twice in their careers. A guy named Scoochie must not be able to go through life saying "I eliminated Syracuse twice!" This must not be allowed to happen!
