Flyers and UC to play next season, too
The Dayton Flyers and Cincinnati Bearcats — who meet in the second round of the NIT Monday night at Fifth Third Arena — will play each other next season, as well.
That’s what Bearcats coach Mick Cronin told reporters Friday.
He said UC and UD have been working on a five-team tournament for next season. Three yet-to-be-named teams would be brought in to face both the Flyers and Bearcats on their home courts and then UC and UD would meet at U.S. Bank Arena.
The Flyers and UC used to be regulars on each other’s schedules, but haven’t met since 2005.
First facing each other in 1907, they have played 89 times with the Bearcats leading the series, 59-30.
When UC left Conference USA for the Big East, it agreed contractually to continue playing Memphis and UAB. That binding agreement ended this season, freeing up two more non-conference games for the Bearcats.
Cronin told Bill Koch of the Cincinnati Enquirer that he’d be willing to renew the home-and-home series with UD as long as the games are televised.
The date for next year’s game has not yet been settled.

Dayton is a mid-major. They should stick with playing the mid-majors and not try to schedule schools like UC.

I was hoping we would never play UC again. They are a buch of thugs and they have beaten the crap out of us over the past 25 years. Let’s play an xbox UD-UC game and call it a day.

Correction, outside looking in means you’re not playing now, like most teams. Fortunately, both are!

Good article. Nice to see UC is willing to restart a home and home.

Wait until next year! Until then, both teams are on the outside, looking in.
