BEVERLY HILLS (MI) -- The Dayton Flyers returned home after a hard fought W over SLU and woke up Thursday morning in a four-way tie for 1st place in the topsy turvy A-10. All of a sudden, the conference crown that Shaka Smart and company had been fitted for back in October was up in the air and there for the taking. UD has a 2 game homestand with a sold-out matinee contest vs. the Bonnies on Saturday and St. Joe's on Thursday before hitting the road to face the Duquesne Dukes in Da Burgh the following Saturday.

Seven games left...win 'em all and leave no doubt!

Swampy, there are actually Seven regular season games left, plus A10 Tourney. So better win at-least four of the regular season games, and hopefully in the 5 or 6 plus plus range.
