Scouting the Flyers



I'm trying to uncover some more information on tomorrow's opponent from the ol' Interweb. Here's what I've gotten so far:

  • Their best player seems to be senior forward Chris Wright (above). He's contributing a team-high 12.9 points and 8.2 rebounds per game
  • Significant games this year- a win over Arkansas, an OT win at Ole Miss, close loss at ODU, win vs George Mason, and a win vs #20 Xavier
  • There are a couple teams that played both CofC and Dayton this year for comparison's sake:
    • Dayton lost 73-68 to ETSU at home (Cougars beat ETSU at home by 20)
    • Dayton beat Western Carolina in Ohio 71-60 (we crushed Western at home, then had that stinker to end the regular season)
    • Dayton lost at URI 67-53 (Cougars lost to URI in Coaches v Cancer Tourney, 75-66)
  • They're taller than us and defend the 3 pretty well, but their offense does not put up many points
  • The Flyers, like the Cougars, have been inconsistent at times. They have given up huge leads in games but have also erased large deficits in the 2nd half.
  • The most telling stat- the Cougars have only lost 7 games in 3 years at the CFA
