Dayton v. Alabama Potential Upset (Good news for the Gophs)

[KSBGopher]

Anyone watching the Dayton v. Bama game? Dayton is up 13 with 2 minutes to go in the half. Good news for the Gophs if they end up winning - could raise their RPI and our SOS.

Certainly can't hurt.

Done. Flyers by 12.

Definitely good news. I was a little concerned after Dayton got manhandled in their next two games after beating Minnesota. Buffalo and Murray State...yikes. Beating Alabama helps the cause quite a bit...

Flyers shot 60.9 percent from the field and more than 60 percent from 3! When they're hot, they're formidable. When cold, hello Murray State!

Oops, I hit back iron, that's more than 50 percent from 3.

That is obscenely good shooting... about 72% eFG%. Last time Minnesota shot that well was back in the 2008-09 season, when Bostick had 19 on 7/8 shooting (remember that?!) and Paul Carter had 14 on 5/6. Minnesota was 9/9 on their three-point shots.

Murray tState won the Great Alaska Shootout this year over a soso field.

wasn't that the 2008-2009 game when the gophers beat ohio state at williams arena?

I mean Murray State is 9-0 so I don't think that is the worst loss on the road.

SOS won't matter unfortunately.
