Larry Hansgen dropping some Flyer knowledge on Twitter:
He only took one shot in the game. @MustaphaAmzil saved the best for last
@DaytonMBB beating Number 4 Kansas is the highest ranked team the Flyers have beaten since Number 2 DePaul in 1984. Anthony Grant was on the bench for both wins!
-- Ken Pom says:
Unbeaten teams remaining: 31 (Sorry, Kansas).
-- My favorite sportswriter of all time, Bob Ryan, with his take on UD beating KU:
I think we just saw what will hold up as the college basketball buzzer-beating Finish of the Year: Dayton over Kansas.
-- Kendall Pollard gets the last word on one of the best days ever to be a Flyer:
WTF is Rock Chalk anyway?
