This is in response to marc pendleton article posted today. Someone who is supposed to be a factual reporter obviously allowed for his heart to talk for him instead of his head. The factual reasons that I am going to display are proof that the game should not esist. First, you posted the dayton games in your article trying to justify some kind of point like we don't play a hard schedule. Fact the UDs S.O.S. is ranked 41 according to the R.P.I. that came out today; Wright states S.O.S. is 148 a difference in 107 teams. Are you kidding me! What a joke. Even our conference is substantially better. The atlantic ten conference is presently ranked the 7th best conference in america and the horizon is ranked 11th. You probably knew that because your suppose to but you still posted your article. The facts have totally destroyed your point! Second, daytons R.P.I. is presently at 34; wright states is presently at 86 a difference of 52 teams. Sounds pretty even to you doesn't it. I know the whole Miami Valley wants to see te game right? Third, when the gem city jam was going on ud sold out of every game against wright state but wait ud sells out alot of games because of the fan base. They are presently #23 in the country as far as fans attending games. When we played wright state they never sold out at the nutter center and we destroyed them in the last two years of that series. I was at all the wsu and dayton games and when they did play at the nutter center dayton fans would fill that place and make it their own. They almost out numbered the wsu fans and that's a fact! Everyone of you wsu fans seem to forget about that. I like the wsu basketball program but give this argument a rest the teams are not comparable and this game isn't going to happen. In fact wsu will be lucky if they do make it to the nit considering their horrible strength of schedule. Before you post articles you should do your research instead of posting garbage. This is insulting to a ud fan and to a wsu fan!
