It seems as if every team that comes to UD Arena to play the University of Dayton Flyers, they bring their 'A' team and force UD to stave off upsets. Such was the case Saturday afternoon when a forlorn Fordham team put the Flyers to a tough test before UD prevailed, 7-70, their 13th straight win this season in the Arena and 21st win this season.
As the University of Dayton Flyers prepare to meet Forlorn Fordham Saturday afternoon, all is good in their world. The 16th-ranked Flyers are back in first place. . .well, tied for first in the Atlantic 10. And it is not Richmond or VCU. They are tied at 10-2 with a sleeper team nobody is paying much attention to. . .Loyola of Chicago.
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.
