Pat Forde Chat

"Cody (Dayton): Hey Pat, Dayton is 20-2, and is only 1 of 2 teams to beat Marquette. Do you see them beating Xavier, winning the A-10 and Dancing come March?

Pat Forde: (2:17 PM ET ) Cody: Hats off to Dayton for a great season so far -- the Flyers have figured out how to win the close ones, which is huge. Still don't have a ton of quality wins, and I don;t think they're as good as Xavier, but I think the Flyers have a very legit chance of making the Dance."

Forde is pretty good in my book, he knows his stuff.

It would take a genius to think that a team with a 20-2 record would have a legitimate chance to make the dance. :)

Pat Forde has been a great writer for some time now. I remember him back when he was writing for the Courier Journal. Once he left, the sports page started to go downhill.

Dayton will lose at least 4 more games the rest of the way. I see them losing to Xavier 2x and then they will lose at least 2 more games out of at Lasalle, at Charlotte, at St. Louis, at Rhode Island and Temple at home. If Dayton ends up with a 10-6 or 11-5 league record they will sweat on selection Sunday due to a horrendous non league schedule. Sean even said as much on his show last night when he said teams who played weak non league schedules will be punished come selection Sunday.

He did have that incident where he got suspended for sending information to the NCAA trying to get Denny Crum's program in trouble. Oops!
