A FIRST FOR EVERYTHING

FILL IT UP
Dayton is not only 3-0 to start the year, but has also scored 70 or more points in the first three contests. The last time that happened was back during the start of the 2003-04 season, also the last year UD played in the EA Sports Maui Invitational. The Flyers won the Maui Invitational in 2003.

UD has been powerful against the power conferences. Dayton is 19-9 in the last six years against BCS programs. The Flyers have won the last four meetings against ACC programs.

TUNE IN
The Flyers will be seen on television a record 29 times during the 2013-14 regular season. UD will have 29 of its 31 regular season games televised nationally or regionally during the regular-season. The landmark package represents the most televised games in a regular season for the Flyers.

ARCHIE SIGNS TWO
Coach Archie Miller announced the signing of two top high school players to letters of intent on Nov. 13. They were 6-foot-4 guard Darrell Davis from Detroit Douglass High School, and 6-foot-11 center Steve McElvene from New Haven High School in New Haven, Ind.

BCS BUSTERS
UD has won its last seven versus the SEC and the last four against the ACC. The Flyers have won 10 of the last 13 overall and five of the last eight games against BIG EAST opponents.
