Flyers arrive in Puerto Rico
SAN JUAN — The Dayton basketball team checked into its hotel here at about 11 p.m. today (Atlantic standard time, which is one hour later than Eastern standard time), ending a long day of travel.
The Flyers’ flight from Dayton to Philadelphia left at 1:30 p.m., and after a three-hour layover, they boarded another jet for the journey to P.R.
They were joined by the Villanova basketball team, a possible opponent in round two of the Tip-Off Classic, for the flight from Philly. Chris Wright and Devin Searcy shared an exit row with a Villanova player.
“They were cool,” Wright said. “The Villanova player opened up his bag of Gummy Worms, and we killed ‘em.”
The coaches, UD’s Brian Gregory and the Wildcats’ Jay Wright, exchanged pleasantries at the luggage carousel and talked for several minutes.
Before embarking from Dayton, UD players were asked to autograph a poster of themselves that was hung by an airport employee in the jetway, and they happily obliged.
