Falling out of the Top-25 after losing to #19 Cincinnati 66-59 in the final non-conference game on the schedule, Dayton opened A10 play on New Year's Eve against LaSalle, earning a 84-70 bounce-back victory in front of another sellout UD Arena crowd of 13,407.  The Flyers improve to 11-3 (1-0) while the Explorers fall to 8-6 (0-1).
