Throwback jerseys to be worn against Presbyterian

By Doug Harris | Wednesday, December 16, 2009, 12:50 PM

Dayton will be wearing throwback jerseys from the 1969-70 season in its game against Presbyterian College (2-9) on Saturday.

The ‘69-70 season was the first at UD arena, and it was a great year for the Flyers. They finished 19-8 and played in the NCAA tournament. George Jackson led the team in rebounding with a 14.5 mark (can you imagine having someone like that today?), and Ken May was the scoring leader with a 17.0 average.

Here’s another little tidbit: UD was fifth nationally in attendance that year, drawing 12,982 per game. Other big arenas have been built since then, and the popularity of college basketball has grown. UD averaged 12,765 fans last season and ranked 27th nationally.
