up to cleveland. anthony grant and dane hipsher, down in alabama will make their way up. there will be a car pool of players going up for the wake. some of you are going to go up for the service on saturday. it's going toing held at the high school where he coped, at john marshal just a tremendously loved kid. >> unfortunately, gone too soon. honey... the credit fairy... doesn't exist. what? it's make-believe. nobody left anything under your pillow. if there's no credit fairy then who will make our credit score go up? we will. by doing things like paying our bills on time. announcer: there's no magic to improving your credit. but there's help and it's free. go to creditfairy.org what? >> mike: it's half time here at the ud arena. let's take a closer look at the university of dayton. plan >> mike: welcome back to the university of dayton arena, mike hartsock with derek duke. derek, you look at the first half numbers. they are not very pretty on either side but somehow, dayton managed to eek out a league. >> dayton shooting 50% from the field. the challenge is that they have not taken any shots in the first half but when they had good shots, they were able to knock them down. they have been able to keep their lead largely due to the monarchs' inability to make free throw, only shooting 29%. you look at the battle of the bobs, what we called the battle of the boards. at this point, the mop narcs have 8 offensive rebound, the magic number when they exceed 14 defensive rebound, they are undefeated this season >> mike: so you look at one other number that's glaring it's the 12 in the turnover department for the flyers, seven of those by chris wright i. unfortunately, those turnovers have come as his ability a result of his inability to recognize the zone. chris needs to to better in the second half. controlling the basketball of course chris seems to be antsy to me coming off the ball. >> derek: he is coming off a bad game. he understands, this is a big game. this monarch team has the ability to knock all 23 games in the week and chris has to perform and wants to prm for his team. we see some of the mop narcs highlight from the first half. coming from the bench, james provided that offensive punch >> mike: they are being led by james, the monarchs. flyers lead by mark just johnson. he has 7 point. chris has 5, chris wright does and a beg three-pointer, late there in the first half and it gives chris johnson five as well. let's look at the highlight. they are all going towards the basket. nice dibble presentation as you see wall williams pick up the charge. again, we continue to see at day some's highlights, rise to the basket, easily-in. when you reverse the ball against the zone, that's where the zone has the big gap in the middle of the court and in the baseline. it's very important you shift the ball from one side to the other but, again, all the common threat in those highlight, mike, easy buckets. side or dribble penetration. from what we understand on the sideline, as buick fabrizius stands there with crutches, it is the right knee, inside of his right knee is sprained. he's going to have to see what's going on with luke and a couple of guys. his knee is kind of loose anyway. >> yes. >> didn't look like a whole lot of contact but enough to put luke on crutches for the rest of this night. >> like paul williams with all his wait coming back, your knee is not programmed to go backwards. that's not a function of the knee, i should say. the challenge is that the monarchs are playing zone defense and this is where the employers need an outsite threat. luke is the best outside weapon. blaine taylor talking to his guys. brian brian gregory talking to his troop. old dough minimal going to won the first six, then lost three in a row to pretty good competition and came back and won two in a row. that's there are 6-4. then they will come up with a trip to georgetown which is not going to be easy >> derek: and then you have charlotte. charlotte a very good team, knocked out louisville at louisville a couple of weeks ago and you see duquesne. four opponents on the atlantic 10e, old dominion will stays this year. of course, richmond, duquesne, charlotte. >> mike: seeing a lot of pairs between the colonial athletic conference and the atlantic 10. we are back to action. sit back, relax and enjoy dayton flyers basketball here on whio tv. monarchs with the ball to start things off. that's gerald lee. lee has five -- four. i i flyers did a nice job of defending the mop narcs. that's a high post, low post screen for lee. now they' lou them to go one on one. rebound to dayton. here comes london looking to get points on the first possession. leaves it open to chris wright who fumbles it again, loose on the floor, chris johnson able to come away with it >> derek: this is where you see a point guard needs to bring the ball out and set your offense. it's important that you get a good shot on the first possession of the second half. 15 secs left on the shot clock. another turnover almost but, luckily, flyers able to get it back. 10 seconds left. blocking foul on gerald lee and gerald lee bails the flyers out with a bit of an acting job from london warren >> mike: he forced the big man to make a decision and that decision was the foul because london, if he didn't move his feet afoam yatchly, london would get by him for a dunk or a schupp many in. just under way in the second half, that's chris onson. >> not a lot good movement. marcus johnson, top of the key, two-pointer. marcus has scored nine now >> derek: marcus johnson continues to play his best basketball over the last thee games. he got off to a little bit of a slow start here in the senior game. that's gerald lee up high with him leaves it off, down low, permanent foul called on chris wright. keyon carter had position on him inside. they say chris battling from behind. >> derek: carter able to get great position and beat chris to the spot >> mike: now we have chris one on one with derek lee. chris johnson has him on the switch. down low, bazemore, can't get it to go and the rebound comes down to chris wright. london warren, pushing and turning it over but luckily, the flyers able to get it back. >> you see this team, we talked about how long and athletic they are. they do a terrific job of getting into the passing line and creating havoc >> mike: of out dibble, outside for three, missed one. and the rebound, old dominion. againey coming away with it. chris johnson stopped the break. bazemore inside. he's got six. flyers up by 3 again >> derek: gerald lee continues to be very patient on offense, standing in it the flow of the offense, not forcing any bad shots, able to come up with some nice easy lay-ins. >> this is partially blocked and old dominion comes away with the rebound. they lead by 3. carter way up top. didn't' get the bounce and daytop gets the rebound. quick shot that time by the monarchs. chris wright down the lane. marcus johnson out of the corner, misses, offensive rebound huelsman, he is fouled. kurt hustleman, back side offensive rebound that time and it's going to be a pair for old dominion i, when the shot is taken out one side of the corner, it is a missed shot, it will come out the other say. mickey perry into the line-up. gets it back to perry. we played 3 minutes here in the second half. dayton still up by 3. in the corner, paul williams. another weak pass, almost thrown away. chris wright can't handle it down low ant flyers turn it over. old dominion gets it back. >> the flyers, 24th turn overof the game. the flyers continuing to fall in love with that outside shop. >> gerald lee, he felt the n. >> with the ball, the foul. lee kind of had a step on him but chris had to put a hand out. that's two wick ones on chris here in the second half. he's going to have to come out. josh benson comes into the game. another struggle of a night so far for chris. in bounds, kicks, it will be old dominion ball. here come marquel de lancey into the game for od u. referee is going to check something out real quick, talking with the scorer's table. they reset that shot clock? i think they did. that's joe di maio on the left. >> that's ann myers, hall of fame beauty women's players. they are still trying to figure out what exactly is going on over there. >> derek: while they were street the game clock, five seconds had expired off the game clock. we'll reset >> mike: old dominion missed consecutive threes. they trailed by three. in bounds, out of bounds. it's going to be off marcus johnson. old dominion will keep it. in bounds, it comes to gerald lee. he will set it up for de lancey. he gets it back now. one on one with josh benson >> derek: he is creating the offense. count lane >> mike: loose on it the floor, stolen away. marcus johnson to mickey perry. >> derek: a nice take to the basket by mickey perry. transition offense by these flyers. they came up with the steal and able to get out into the open court for the nice, easy lay-in the lee backs out now, 18- footer on the way, nails it. >> that's the connect shot that lee has made in this game. very personal player. low post core. >> paul williams maces the three and the rebound comes out, old dominion. that's a missed shot and that's a good shop. that came from dibble penetration did from a dribble penetration. >> there a gerald lee back door again. he scored 10. that's a one-point flier lead and dayton with the ball. josh benson from 17. doesn't get the roll, gets up, no good. loose on the floor, out of bounds. it will be old dominion ball when we come back. timeout on the floor, 15:04 left to play. dayton up by 1. 32-31, dayton with a one- point lead with just over 15 minutes left to play in this one from the arena. mike hartsock and derek duke, flyers and old dominion going at it pretty good here. 10 points for their top scorer >> derek: good week side defense by marcus johnson, outlet pass to mickey perry and mickey makes up his mind at the three point line that he was going to get to the basket for the lay-in >> mike: back to live action. old dominion with the ball. iliadis up top, de lancey. gerald lee out of the game right now for old dominion. 15 seconds left on the shot clock for the monarch. rob lowery is in, came in during that dead ball. >> the monarch team is really patient, deliberate on offense >> mike: five seconds left. bazemore off the dribble and old dominion grabs the lead, 33- 32 >> derek: i can probably assure you, mike, that brian gregory will come out at the top of the key because they let i am go up without impeding him. >> bob lowy sets up your fence. down low, that's chris wright. can't get it enough. back inside now. huelsman and the rebound comes down od u. crowd wanted a foul, didn't get anything. under 14 minutes left to play. old dominion up by 1 on the road. >> this is where old dominion really executes their offense, very poised team, veteran team, not going to make many mistakes on offense >> mike: keyon carter up top with it. they had some really good shots the last four possessions bazemore scores >> derek: bazemore, the red shirt sophomore is really taking the ball to the basket that, at this point, the flyers don't have an answer for him >> mike: that is old dominion's biggest lead, three. goes up, the air ball, the foul >> derek: maybe that will get chris wright going, the offensive rebound and play-in. a powerful move by chris wright, as we see. paul williams misses the mid- way yum many shot but good position enables them to get it up and the foul. >> mike: good news for flyers fan, that's number 3 on bazemore >> derek: often timings when you are struggling shooting the basketball, as this point of game. a free throw can get you into the rhythm and synch of the game. >> we are tied at 35. 1309 left to play. old dough minimal with the ball gps the flyers' full-court pressure. marcus job son on the ball right now. that's gerald lee for the monarchs. flyers trying again. one of those games that it's tough to get into for folks here in the stand. 11 seconds left on the shot clock. so old dominion content to take some time off but rob lowery with some great hustle and that's a turnover and dayton will get the ball back >> derek: that's the type of plays, mike, that may not show up on the sat sheet. that's a deflection but it resultd in a turnover for the mon marks. great defense by rob lowery. game tied again. up top is marcus. london warren. >> the alley oops. wow! that was way up there >> derek: you see the president of the flight club use every bid of that 42-inch vertigo to end that grab. james the other way. old dominion tries to answer. travel. finney didn't know whether to pass or continue to go down the lane. he turns it over. that broke his crowd up a little bit. time outold dominion with 12:0 of left to go. we'll take a time out. dayton up by 2. we'll be right back. it's one of the best mid-size sports sedans in the world. if it's not... there are 39 international awards we'd better give back. the 2010 jaguar xf. the critically acclaimed result of a very different way of thinking. >> mike: mike hartsock and derek dukes. this crowd has been waiting for something to wake them up and they got it >> derek: they got it from chris wright. you see the lob play by london warren and, no, that's not a trampoline on the court. that's chris wright coming into your living room with every bit of that 43-inch vertical. i was talking about it, if you can do it one time >> mike: and i don't want to either coming up that high. if i go that high, i come down and hurt myself. great work by our camera crew. flyers up by 2. back to live action. marcus johnson, chris wright, both with nine apiece. london warren gives off to chris johnson. here comes chris. a one-hand jam on the baseline. somebody woke him up. that might not be good for old dominion >> derek: there was a little whisperring in this right here because the last two finishes have been above the rim. i credible play by chris wright >> mike: gerald lee outside, they get chris johnson for the foul. they created the first alley oops play was the fact that we had a guy on the high post. we have a timeout on the floor. 121:30 left to play. flyers up by 4. we'll be right back. welcome home, man. >> mike: well, it was a lousy first half for chris wright. he turned the paul over seven times but in the first 8 1/2 minutes here, number 33 woke up >> derek: he came to life. i said earlier in the half, that he made a free throw and maybe that will get him going. since that time, he had two amazing finishes. we have seen him find an only on the baseline and, folks, that's a 6'10", 200 pound center that he is dunging over. old dominion with the ball. in it comes and it goes in with a foul. they will get london for the foul. london was trying to dart gerald lee. that was a bit of a mismatch. >> just a bit of an advantage for gerald lee. now lee has chris johnson on him this time, stills seems to be a tad bit of a mismatch. 6'6" against 6'10". looks like curt huelsman. >> reporter: we have curt defending the inbound pass. talking over something here, resetting the hot clock >> derek: it was reset already >> mike: somebody get a hand on this. it will come at least. flyers up by three in a low scoring affair. it has not locked for excitement here tonight. >> post teams are defensive minded teams >> mike: outside, james will spot for though, rebound, battled for, london warren come out thereof with it and a foul on bazemore and that's his fourth. >> we talked about the hill thing that could gone his way. they made an effort and tipped the call and fortunately knocked it into london warren's hand but that's a little item that won't show up. show says that crest won't be criticized. as you said, created another fouls again beazmore. >> beaz more goes out. and trian iliadis comes into the game for old dough men on. coming up on 11 minute. another alley oops pass. oh, just got fouled as they backed into him. that was finney. i don't think he did that on purpose. finney was just caught napping a little bit. take another look >> derek: we take another look here. they have been very successful but he goes to the other side of the court and that's a realy risky play >> mike: finney picks up the personal foul. that's his third and chris wright, right back at the free throw line for a pair. he gets the first one to go >> derek: fortunately, chris didn't get injured. finney cleared right under his leg. that could have come out really bad >> mike: yep. he doesn't get the second one. one out of two. the flyers' lead is 5, 40-35, dayton and top. old dominion with the ball, under 111 minutes to play. chris johnson has been relatively quiet this second half. >> mike: devon searcy will pick up the permanent foul. that's the fifth team foul on the flyers. both teams with five now heading towards bonus situation. >> the mon marks again remain very disciplined. they know where their bread and butter is and that'sgerald lee. in bound pass, whistle foul called before the ball game in. they're going to get marcus johnson. marcus has two but that's six now on the flyers. so from here on out, old dominion is going to be shooting free throws. in bound, robbed up to lee. gerald backing his way down, took a couple of stems without drink the ball. offensive rebound. back up and in for carter. >> derek: another offensive rebound for the monarchs >> mike: carter got 7 >> derek: that's 11 offensive rebounds in the game >> mike: chris johnson pulls up, leaves it short. chris wright the rebound, misses it, tipped in >> derek: again, they have come to life here in the second half why yoo somebody got chris' ear at half time >> derek: he has really responded on the back board and, of course, giving dayton some fantastic athletic plays >> mike: devin searcy comes out and fouls. james will go free throw line >> derek: devin searcy attemptd to hedge out on the foul screen but not able to get good foot position and picked up the foul. >> mike: flyers with four substitutions or is it five substitutions? he gets all five in and out. rob lowy, paul williams, kurt huelsman, devin searcy stays in. darius james goes to the free throw line. he doesn't miss many of them. he shoots them at 90%. >> derek: at this point, he has taken 10 free throws on the season. he has not taken very many. he has been veryey fictive >> mike: misses that one. flyers dodged a bullet there. mickey perry coming on the run there >> derek: great decision or good decision by mickey perry to not force that foul. almost thrown away. flyers able to get that back. left his feet, had nowhere to go with it. i side, speed, hill. old dominion comes out of there with it. flyers not handlinging it well that time down low. lee scores. >> derek: talk about lee at the onset of the game, virtually impossible to stop especially when you allow him to get that deep into the paint. great position for lee, bad defense for the flyers. >> mike: old dominion comes out of there. lee has got 12. the flyers' lead is three now. inside to lee again he gets fouled. gerald lee will go to the proceed line as the flares are having a real tough time. >> the key is transition defense. first key is transition defense is stop the basketball. second is protect the rim. >> mike: he is a 76% shooter. chris wright comes n devon searcy goes out. 9:10 to play. daytop a two-point lead. he misses the second. flyers still with a two-point lead. that's rob lowery. off the dribble, penetrates, down the lane, scoops, doesn't get it to go. rebound, paul williams in the wrong place at the wrong time, makes the bump and commits the foul. that's 9 now on dayton. frank hassell for old dominion. free throw coming from trian iliadis. he has not missed yet. >> derek: iliadis, 3-for-3 on the year. pretty good proceed shooters have missed. >> mike: a 90 and 100, yes. rob
