Post-Game Notes
Tuesday's 68-61 win at St. Bonaventure was UD's third straight win. The Flyers improve to 16-8 overall and 9-4 in the Atlantic 10. Dayton is in second place in the Atlantic 10 West Division, a half-game behind George Washington. GW plays at Xavier Wednesday, and then travels to UD Arena for a noon game on Saturday.
This was Dayton's first win at St. Bonaventure in five tries. The Flyers are now 1-3 at the Reilly Center (the first game of the series was played at the Olean Armory on December 18, 1948). The series is tied 8-8.
With one regular season road game left, UD is 5-5 away from UD Arena in 2004-05. Dayton will finish the regular season at Xavier on March 5.
