blog: Flyers About to End 19-Year Tournament Streak?
MINNEAPOLIS — It’s been 19 years since the Dayton Flyers have won an NCAA Tournament game, but I think that streak is going to come to an end today.
With just under 12 minutes left in the second half of their first round game with a surprisingly out-of-sync West Virginia team, the Flyers lead, 48-44.
The Flyers, so far, have shined on the big stage like few imagined. Chris Wright is putting on a show , especially with some monster dunks. He has 20 points.
The last time the Flyers won an NCAA Tournament game was March 16, 1990 when they beat Illinois, 88-86, in Austin, Texas.
