Let's Go!
Let's Go!

Let's Go!

BEVERLY HILLS (MI) – The “Not-So-Secret Scrimmage” with Marquette is set to happen this weekend on Saturday in Indy. The one and only exhibition game vs. Findlay takes place the following Friday evening. A mere week after that, the regular season gets underway for the 2016-17 University of Dayton Flyers as they will host Austin Peay at UD Arena. And just like that -- poof! -- we are off to the races.

The anticipation of what could be an exceptional campaign has the Flyer Faithful ready to rock. The Findlay exhibition game is supposedly approaching a sell-out. Let’s hope that primo recruiting target Darryl Morsell will decide to take his official visit to UD after all so he can witness what a Flyer home game is all about.

Elsewhere in the land of hoops:I

-- “The Voice of the Flyers” Larry Hansgen thinks Scoochie Smith and Charles Cooke could hit some big shots for the Red and Blue this season:

That’s it “From the Swamp.”
