Blowing Kisses, Going To Sleep - Dayton Delivered A Masterclass Of Shit Talking An Opposing Student Section

This is beautiful. This is how you act on the road and get booed for 40 minutes. Mind you the game is still going on during all of this. This wasn't during a break, this wasn't after the game. There were seconds on the clock when DaRon Holmes started the go to sleep move. If anyone on Dayton is free to talk shit, it's Holmes. Dude is an All-American and damn good. Not even just A-10 good, he's All-American good. 

Sneaky best part though? The launch from the logo. 

Some teams would just take the shot clock violation. I love seeing guys chuck instead. Who cares about fake sportsmanship? Play until there's 0 on the clock. Plus, the whole rankings things take into account how bad you beat a team. Those 3 points could move Dayton up an extra spot in the NET. 

This is what we need more of in college basketball though. I don't care if it's an A-10 game, an Ivy League game or Big 12. You get booed for 40 minutes, you come back after the home team starts hot, you talk shit right back. It's how sports are supposed to be. You win, you celebrate. I firmly believe that nobody should ever complain about showboating or mocking opposing fans. We live in a world where fans think they are part of the game and can say almost whatever they want, they should get chirped back. 

Side note, this Dayton team is damn good. Not 2020 team good, but they should be in the Tournament. If they go 6-2 down the stretch, it's a lock they are in with a decent seed. They don't have a truly awful loss. They have wins over LSU, SMU, St. John's and Cincinnati - all of which aren't at home. They shoot the absolute shit out of the ball. 

This is how you do it though. Love the guy coming in out of nowhere to blow kisses. Incredible.
