BEVERLY HILLS (MI) -- The Annual Bernadette McGlade Brooklyn Hoopsfest is on at the Barclays Center. THE University of Dayton Flyers will not make their first appearance until 6:30 PM on Friday the 13th on the NBC Sports Network. Thanks to the elusive (at least for UD) double-bye, the team that needs rest more than any other A-10 squad will get exactly that. Conventional wisdom says if UD wins vs. the
SJU/
SBU survivor, they are in the Field of 68; lose and the
Flyer Faithful have to once again sweat it out on Selection Sunday.
Here's to a perspiration-free Sabbath!
"From the Swamp" has all the links you will need to kill time until Friday night rolls around:
-- Not that the Flyer Faithful need much to get them pumped for Friday's tilt, but the "Top Ten UDunks" from this season can only help:
