Dayton has played two non-conference games on the neutral court of the United Center in recent years. It lost 67-64 to Northwestern on Dec. 17, 2016, in what was known as the Chicago Legends event. It lost 78-76 to Colorado on a buzzer-beating 3-pointer on Dec. 21, 2019, in the same event. That would turn out to be the last loss of the 2019-20 season for a team that finished 29-2.
