Watched it. Dayton hit some big shots. *

Few fan bases more passionate than Dayton.

Happy to see it. It looked pretty hopeless when they were down by 17 with less than 8 minutes to play.

I was glad to see the Flyers win. My sister lives in Gaines-

ville, FL. Anthony Grant was an assistant for Billy Donovan way back when. My sister said Anthony Grant is a really good guy. She enjoyed getting to know the family through shared activities with their children. Good for Anthony Grant.

Interesting to see Grant and Smart having success again. *

Is there a connection between those two? *

Both coached at Virginia Commonwealth.

Both got got big jobs (Alabama and Texas). Now seem to be doing well.

Did they coach together at VCU? *

Grant replaced Capel after he took the big job (OU) after his run with VCU. Grant had been an assistant at Florida (and was a career assistant) when he took the VCU head job. When Grant left for Alabama, Smart took over for Grant.

Smart had also been an assistant at Florida before taking the VCU job. They didn't overlap there either.

VCU liked the Donovan tree apparently.

Thanks for the reply and information. I knew he had been

at UF.
