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).

That was UD's first appearance in the NIT Finals under head coach Tom Blackburn.

The play remained sloppy however with unforced turnovers and soft defense that allowed the Explorers to keep pace. Enoch Cheeks, Na...
