Searcy expected to start for Flyers
Dayton coach Brian Gregory said junior forward-center Devin Searcy will likely be in the starting lineup when the Flyers open the season at home Saturday against Creighton.
Returning starters Kurt Huelsman, Chris Wright, Marcus Johnson and London Warren also will be in the first unit. But while Searcy has been almost exclusively a post player during his career, he’ll line up at the 4 spot and play outside to keep the lane free. Gregory prefers a four-out-one-in offense.
The seventh-year coach pointed out that UD’s frequent substititions make the issue of who’s in the starting lineup less important than it would be for other teams. But Searcy has improved significantly since last year and earned a starting spot.

UD-Creighton game a near sell-out
Only about 250 tickets remain unsold for Dayton’s season-opener against Creighton at 1 p.m. Saturday, according to Gary McCans, UD’s director of premium seating.
The Flyers’ home game against Xavier on Feb. 6 is already sold out.
