Even if they are, I don't think they'll really care about any of that. The history has nothing to do with them because none of them were really ever a part of it. That's how they'll see it. To them it'll all about trying to get to the next round of the NCAA Tournament.

Obviously I dont know Dayton's roster makeup in terms of where they come from but x has quite a few guys from in,ky, and oh. I'd assume that maybe quite a few players know each other either from aau or summer gyms, whatever.

I don't think they care much about what you and I think. But I suspect Byron, Joe, Dante and Travis have a few tales to spin to make the players care.
Oh, and think of the "House Divided" down in Prospect, Ky! Chris and Christi would be on pins and needles watching in the home theater after Louisville's early flameout.

What do the alumni think and feel?? How many students and players do you talk to that care about what you think and feel?? There have been several roster turnovers and student turnovers since the last time Xavier played Dayton. No students at either school have ever been to an X v UD game or even been in school with upperclassmen who have been to a game and talked about what it was like. That's several recent generations of students who don't think or feel about the game at all. Some rivalries like West Virginia v Pitt, Kansas v Missouri, or Texas v TAMU go dormant, but never really go away because there is a constant bickering that never stops and a push to get the games back. That wasn't the case with X v UD. It went away, and people slowly stopped caring about it, the previous coaches at both schools didn't really want to play again, and now it's to a point to where very few people below the age of 30 even realize that it was once a heated rivalry.
They'd probably be WAAAY more geeked up for Louisville than Dayton.Last edited by xubrew; 02-18-2020 at 10:33 AM.
