The University of Dayton announced Wednesday a tribute to late Dayton Flyers center Steve McElvene will begin at 6:50 p.m. Friday.
Dayton plays Austin Peay in its season opener. The game will tip off at 7:05 p.m.
This will be Dayton's first official game without McElvene, who died May 12 of an enlarged heart. McElvene's family will attend the game and participate in a pregame ceremony.
