Dayton Crowd

[Tulsa_]

I was thinking that being only a 3-hour drive... we would be in a very hostile environment....

Then I saw this today...

HOME COURT, OHIO: The Wolverines are playing a three-hour drive from Ann Arbor, so they'll have a chance to have a lot of fans at the University of Dayton Arena. But they know the crowd likely won't be in their favor, given that Ohio-Michigan rivalry.

"Hopefully they're on our side," Irvin said. "But you can definitely see it going the other way with us being in Ohio."

I think if it was in Columbus you might have a lot of that, but I'll bet most of the locals aren't huge Ohio St fans and will probably be (halfheartedly) rooting for the team from their area. Plus I wonder if any Dayton fans will bear us ill will for keeping out the Bonnies (according to the braying national media).

I'd guess a crowd that's 70-30 against taking into account a decent number of Michigan fans.
