Prediction is an easy win tonight to give any remaining fans who still check the board hope.
We got the hope back on the board. Can Noah go on a Kemba type of run? Announcers compared his game to Kyrie in pregame. He lived up to it last night. Great emotion in post game interview too, Noah is locked in.

Need to hit the open looks early again tonight. TJ and Trent hit the early 3’s, who steps up tonight at the start?

I stand corrected (by me). Tre Mitchell had 19 two years ago. Losing my short-term memory. Wait, who's Tre Mitchell?

Put your hate for me aside. I only predicted last nights game. No prediction for tonight. Just hoping they can keep the momentum going.

Most of us on here have witnessed too many heartbreaks over the years, especially at the Spectrum and Boardwalk Hall. We all know the likely outcome but this team could have a run in them like 2000/2001. Still can’t believe that’s the last team to make an A10 final. Long live the Twirl offense.

Need I remind you what happened at least year's tourney against St Louis after we hung 100+ on St Joe's? My prediction: Dayton's gonna play defense and it ain't gonna be pretty. That said, boy, would I love to see them make it to the semi's. Would require monster games from at least two of the guys.

We're all jaded. Fuck it, I'm going with the win. The Kelly boys explode, and JG has his best Minuteman game yet. Greg Jones tips in the game winner with 3 seconds left. Pandemonium

And the beat goes on

Harbo and I close in on those 15000 to 1 odds.
You placed that bet, right harbo?

We were favorites against GWU, hardly a crazy prediction.. predicting a win against Dayton and that happening, then I’ll give you some love.

I’m not searching for any love from you. But I did predict a blowout easy win which did happen. And now we are all on here hoping for 3 more.

The philosophical way to say pessimism is realism.

No, actually research shows that Optimist live longer than pessimist and are healthier. And in fact this applies to those who are unrealistically optimistic. See the work of Martin Seligman.
