Having
@CollegeGameDay
at Dayton is incredible, awesome, and, I suspect, invaluable in so many ways. I’d love to see some data on what having this production at your school is valued at in terms of advertising. You can’t buy this kind of exposure. Truly a slam dunk for UD. 🏀✈️
Witnessed this during the D-IV Regional semi-final last night at Trent Arena. The Russia Raider player dunks the ball… it goes in and into the net, then somehow comes back up and out of the rim. No basket? Guess so!Thankfully it didn’t affect the game outcome…

did whatever he did with about 4 minutes left. I’m not even sure what it was, cause all I heard was screaming and microphones falling over. 😂
*Unofficial* UD pregame meetup at the Las Vegas Hofbrahaus near the Thomas & Mack Center on Tuesday 4-7pm. If you’re in Vegas for the UNLV game, join us!
The Dayton Flyers are 100/1 to win the 2023 National Championship. Seemed worth a shot to spend $10 to get $1000. Alternatively, I’d happily pay the grand to actually see that happen.
Russia scores a single point in the 4th quarter - and just 7 the entire second half - to earn a trip to the High School Boys D-IV State Tournament. Raiders hold on to win over Jackson Center, 27-25.

If you think about it, it’s kinda like Dayton is already in the tournament. It’s win or go home from here on out regardless. So instead of the

This week's Court Report leads on the worst power-conf gig in CBB: DePaul.
It's set to join the list of high-major schools to go 20+ years between NCAATs. You can see that list here, plus five realistic candidates DePaul should target for its opening.
We started keeping track of all the NCAA Tournament teams we saw represented on people at tonight’s

In hindsight, given the way things are trending with Coronavirus, we may find that we were lucky to get as much of this extraordinary

Glad to see
@JuiceCrewMali
get some air time in the NCAA Let’s Dance commercial. Had to be tough sitting on the sidelines all season. That smile is contagious… (My apologies for the glare off my tv screen).
Anthony Grant found out about Obi Toppin's $20,000 donation to the Jay's Light Fund moments before this photo. He said Ricardo Greer pulled him out of the timeout huddle and told him he was needed at center court.
I wish someone would recreate that Garza/Toppin comparison graphic that Iowa put out, except now list the major awards they’ve each won. I’m graphically challenged, so I can’t. But someone should.
What is the
@NCAA
doing making the cheerleaders and bands wear masks when no one else has to? It’s their big moment too. Utterly ridiculous.
#MarchMadness
Never expected the Flyers to win today. Thought it was maybe possible, and still think it was. Just didn’t happen on this day. Zona is a tough team. Great season Dayton. 💙❤️✈️
Definitely the right call to cancel the

Wishing my longtime friends

@tvfcrfson
best of luck as they coach the Russia Raiders in the D-IV state tourney. These guys stepped into an impossible role, filling in for their friend and head coach, who passed away in Oct.
Fact: Parenting a child going through cheerleading tryouts will take 14 years off your life. But we officially have an Oakwood Varsity Football & Basketball cheerleader in our house! Congrats Peyton!📣
