ABOUT CAL
• The California Golden Bears, like the Flyers, suffered their first loss of the season at the hands of a ranked team on Tuesday. Both teams bring a 5-1 record to Wednesday's third-place game. Cal fell to No. 7 Syracuse 92-81 after opening the tournament with an 85-77 win over Arkansas. Cal played the Syracuse game without big man Richard Solomon, who was injured in the first-round. Solomon averages a double-double (11.0 ppg, 11.4 rpg) and is one of five Cal players who average double figures.
SERIES STUFF
• Dayton leads the series 2-1. Counting this game, three of the four contests have come in in-season tournaments. Cal won the first meeting, 60-55 on Dec. 28, 1957 at the old Madison Square Garden in the ECAC Holiday Classic. UD took the next game, 66-62 on Dec. 22, 1975 in the finals of the University of Dayton Invitational Tournament. The Flyers also won the last meeting, 59-53 in overtime, in Dayton on Dec. 28, 1985.
IT'S WHY HE CAME TO DAYTON
• Monday's Flyer first round win over 11/10 Gonzaga is the highest-ranked opponent an
Archie Miller-coached team has defeated. Miller, in his third season as a head coach, is 2-3 against ranked teams after Tuesday's 67-66 loss to No. 18/17 Baylor.
MARVELOUS IN MAUI
• The Flyers are making their third trip to the EA Sports Maui Invitational. Dayton is 6-2 all-time in Maui. In 2000, UD placed in third after upsetting No. 12 UConn, losing to No. 1 Arizona and then rebounding to beat No. 6 Maryland. In 2003, the Flyers won the tournament title after knocking off Central Michigan, San Diego State and Hawai'i. The 2013 EA Sports Maui Invitational is the sixth consecutive in-season tournament Dayton will have participated in.
