The Dayton Flyers traveled to Richmond, VA, on Friday evening for a matchup against the #25 VCU Rams in the 2024-25 regular season finale. UD made just enough plays down the stretch and avoided another near-collapse late in the game to win 79-76 and guarantee themselves the #3 seed and double-bye in the upcoming A10 Tournament in Washington, DC.  Dayton enters postseason play at 22-9 (12-6).  VCU falls to 25-5 (15-3) and suffers their only home-court loss on the season.

Enoch Cheeks answered from behind the arc for UD's third triple, but Max Shulga replied with a trey. UD held a 13-5 lead at the first media timeout despite surrendering four offensive rebounds in the first five minutes. Posh Alexander got a friendly bounce to extend t...
