RE: Xavier/Dayton

[ALACOMBE]

Mick,

Dayton did not do all of the "allowing", I think that the men 
in stripes had a lot to do with it.  There were so many bad 
calls it was amazing.  They missed, 3 second, hand checks, 
blcok/Charge, shot blocks called as fouls...  You name it 
they screwed Dayton big time.

For UC this game did not really matter, but I would have 
rathered UD win the game.

Now on to Sunday to see if UC can play well against another 
legitimate top-10 team.

Instead of "Ring of Red" games, why not designate even games
as Red and Odd games as Black?  The game number is on the 
ticket and you could print it on there too.

Just a thought that many of the red sweaters do not have email
so how would they know what is going on?

Andy
