McCoy: Flyers Lose To VCU In Defensive Slugfest

Neither team scored in the final three minutes and VCU didn't score in the final six minutes, but the University of Dayton still fell to the Rams, 49-47, when a last-second shot by DaRon Holmes II that would have tied the game and sent it into overtime clanked off the front of the rim.

McCoy: UD Flyers React To St. Joe’s Blitzing Start

Adversity rears its ugly head in many ways and the University of Dayton responded to adversity on several fronts, a 23-12 deficit early in a game at Saint Joseph's and an 'off' night by DaRon Holmes II. But his supporting cast took on starring roles Tuesday night in hostile Hagan Arena to score a 94-79 Atlantic 10 victory to remain tied for first place with Richmond.

McCoy: Holmes Dominates St. Bonaventure

When the outside shots aren't falling, it is a good thing for the University of Dayton basketball team that they have DaRon Holmes II roaming near the basket. The Flyers trailed St. Bonaventure, 30-28, at the half, but pushed the ball inside the Holmes and he scored 25 of his 34 points in the second half to end UD to a 76-71 win.
