BEVERLY HILLS (MI) –- I’ll plead guilty as charged: when it comes to Flyer hoops, I am an unabashed, card-carrying, eternal, cockeyed optimist. Back in the day, when a couple of highly ranked Notre Dame teams came to our house during my years in the Gem City, I didn’t think that UD could win,...

BEVERLY HILLS (MI) –- Detroit has been a very fertile recruiting ground for UD over the years in terms of HS hoop talent, going all the way back to Bill Chmielewski in the early ‘60s. Former Flyers like Johnny Davis, Erv Giddings, Negele Knight, Ryan Perryman, Allen Elijah, Dave Abel,...

CNCINNATI (OH) – Dayton fans are “Flyered-up” for a marquee non-conference match-up this Saturday when the #6 Pitt Panthers (11-0) visit UD Arena. Head coach Jamie Dixon, in his fifth season, has led the Panthers to four 20-win seasons, four NCAA appearances and two Sweet 16 trips. For...

COLUMBUS (OH) -- When Jim Jabir’s University of Dayton’s women’s basketball team started 0-2 there had to be some thoughts running through some players heads that,” Here we go again.” After a very difficult and disappointing 2005-2006 season, it was early but unless things turned around...
