With the University of Dayton expected to easily dismantle DIII Capital, Flyers coach Anthony Grant rested starters Enoch Cheeks and Zed Key the entire game so he could experiment with different lineup combinations and it worked as the Frenchman, Amael L'Etang led the Flyers to a 76-55 win with a double-double of 13 points and 10 rebounds.

It took Ball State 12 minutes to score its first basket and the University of Dayton Flyers constructed a 20-point lead in the first half, but the Cardinals adjusted at halftime and crept to within five points midway through the second half before Enoch Cheeks, Malachi Smith and Isaac Jack took over and led UD to its third straight victory, 76-69. The 6-3 senior transfer from Robert Morris, set a UD career high with 23 points and made it a double-double with 12 rebounds. (pictured)
The University of Dayton Flyers, despite shooting only 8 of 32 from three, did what they were supposed to do in their season's opener in UD Arena Monday night against an outmanned and outmatched opponent — they posted an 87-57 victory over Saint Francis of Pennsylvania. Enoch Cheeks was huge in his ability to get to the glass and give us a double-double. (pictured)
