The Dayton program is at a sustained level of excellence unparalleled in it's history since Tom Blackburn coached. Dayton's rivalry games exist within the Atlantic 10 Conference and it is picked by the coaches and experts to contend for a title this year.
Rhode Island, VCU, Davidson and St. Joseph's all qualify as rivalry games based upon the dynamic of the conference standings. Furthermore UD has created rivalries within the NCAA tournament by qualifying for the event for three consecutive years. As a life long Flyer fan who saw my first game in the Field House in 1950 I can proudly say to you "Behold Archie Miller's Dayton Flyers led by 4 Senior stars and understand you are witnessing the very best Dayton Flyer Men's Basketball has to offer." Please do not let the irrelevant minutia diminish your enjoyment as a UD Flyer fan.
