Dayton Flyers

The Flyers will be one of the most athletic teams to visit the Assembly Hall this season. Forward Chris Wright is the athlete to watch. He has a school-record 130 dunks in three seasons. "He is the face of our program," Gregory said. Weber compared Dayton's style to that of Michigan State (on offense) and Purdue (on defense). It's an aggressive approach that seems to fit well with Gregory's personnel. "They said four guys have over 40-inch verticals. So they're pretty athletic," Mike Davis said. "They're all skinny guys running up the floor and just want to get up and down. It will be a fun game for me because that's my style."
