McCoy: UD Flyers Start Fast, Then Hold On

The University of Dayton Flyers built a 30-11 first-half lead against Saint Joseph's and it looked like an easy runaway victory, but Saint Joseph's chipped away in the second half and drew within three points in the final minutes before Malachi Smith's two free throws sealed a 77-72 UD victory. Nate Santos launches one of the four straight three-pointers he buried. (pictured)
