DAYTON, Ohio - The University of Dayton has announced men’s basketball game times for the 2011-12 regular season. The Flyers will play 16 of the 27 games that have been determined at 7 p.m. ET.
The only game times that are yet to be finalized are the final two rounds of the Old Spice Classic tournament, and the Dayton at Saint Louis game on Saturday, Feb. 4.
UD returns three starters (including preseason All-Atlantic 10 selection Chris Johnson) from last year’s 22-14 team that reached the championship game of the Atlantic 10 tournament. The Flyers reached the post-season for the fourth consecutive season, playing in the NIT.

The annual Red & Blue scrimmage game is this Saturday, Oct. 22 at 7 p.m. ET. UD’s two exhibition games are against Walsh (Saturday, Oct. 29, 4 p.m. ET) and Findlay (Saturday, Nov. 5, 7 p.m. ET).
