I am a season ticket hold for the Dayton Flyers and if you ever get a chance to go the arena for a game it would be worth your while. It holds 14,000 seats and it's a sell out every game.
Back in the covid year the Flyers had a top seed team going into the tourney led by Obie Toppin, a bunch of strong 3 shooters, and a power guy Trey Landers that owned the boards.
This years version has a very similar feel. They had a couple early losses to Houston and Northwestern similar to the Covid year, but have gotten significantly better each game. Daron Holmes is Toppin replacement who like Toppin is a dunking machine and all time leader in Dayton history for dunks. Their outside shooting is phenomenal shooting over 40%. They have some stronger players but not to the level of Sanders. On the positive side all of the guards are far more versatile collectively. Everyone has the ability to penetrate and drive to the basket. The other difference is that Holmes has developed a 3 point shot and is much improved when getting the ball in the paint. I fully expect this team to roll through the Atlantic 10 and make a run in the tourney.
Thats it for now. Back to football.
