Two depleted teams, Dayton and Duquesne, put survivors on the floor and Flyers used a 15-1 run with a lineup full of freshmen to score a 72-63 Atlantic-10 victory. Crutcher, Watson lead the scoring, but freshman lead the 15-1 breakaway.
Jalen Crutcher and Ibi Watson turn statesmen, as their late-game leadership turned uncertainty into a certain Flyers win over Davidson. Hal McCoy writes.
The Flyers had 17 turnovers and hit just 4 of 23 from behind the arc. That was just the start of a bad night for UD Tuesday against the A-10's most beatable team. Hal McCoy writes for today's Press Pros.
They had just enough healthy bodies to play, and leaned on the experience and contributions of Jalen Crutcher (below) and Ibi Watson to pull away at the end...and make a Saturday win over George Mason look easier than it actually was. Hal McCoy writes for today's Press Pros.
New, but not enough...newcomer Mustapha Amzil, from Finland, came out of the locker room after three days practice and paced UD with 22 points. Unfortunately, it was three points too few in a 67-65 loss Wednesday to LaSalle. Hal McCoy writes in today's Press Pros.
