Time to get Flyered up

Since we've finally moved into the month of March, now is as good of a time as any to start talking some college hoops, specifically my UD Flyers. This year it seems UD stands for ups and downs. For every great win that Dayton has had, they've matched it with an equally confounding loss. As a result, the team finds itself firmly on that tenuous bubble waiting to see whether or not they'll get an invitation to the big dance. They did not do themselves any favors earlier this week losing by 11 at Richmond. However, they recovered nicely by soundly beating George Washington today by 16 (a game I was proudly in attendance for). Now that the regular season has finished, the Flyers will have to use the A-10 tournament to help improve their resume in preparation for the NCAA tournament. We've been seeded 6th and will face George Washington again this Tuesday. Given our performance against them today, I would hope that should be an easy win for the Flyers. If we advance, we would play Xavier in the next round. The Muskateers are not as strong this year as they've been in the past, but when it comes to playing your blood rival, records mean nothing. Beating them would certainly increase our chances of going to the big dance as it would not only give us another win, but also prevent Xavier, another bubble team, from going any further. It's going to be a big week for the Flyer Nation and I hope our fans, as always, soundly support this team along the way. I know I will. We are..UD!
