Javon Bennett’s evolution has focused on continuous improvement, adapting roles, and the mental aspect of the game. He was a perfect fit when he first came to UD, and now he has become the Flyers’ mainstay that provides stability and strength.

DaRon Holmes II becomes the 26th former Flyer to play in the NBA and makes a 3-pointer on his only field-goal attempt. https://t.co/iVXaHgdXcZ

Keonte Jones is SPECIAL.. I have a feeling that he is going to SHOCK the A10 with his multitalented game. I expect him to be in the All-A10 First Team and a finalist for POY. He has the potential to be one of the best recruits in the A Grant era. Keonte is WHO HE THINKS HE IS 😤

HUGE news for UD’s basketball program.. as a UD legend and vastly experienced NBA player/Executive, Jim elevates our program to a new level in managerial leadership. As the landscape in college basketball continues to evolve, Jim is the best pick for the job. Go Flyers!!

[David Jablonski @DavidPJablonski]

Jim Paxson returns to Dayton as senior advisor of basketball operations. ... I guess @DaytonMBB_GM is out of a job. https://t.co/aZx02verss

[FELIX ALVAREZ @FelixMAlvarez]

I find it extremely cool, inspiring, and fascinating that a former UD star, Obi Toppin, is playing in the NBA FINALS with the Pacers. He was an exemplary player back in his college days, and he remains one of the most spectacular players in UD basketball history.. Go Pacers!!

THIS TEAM.. The Flyers didn’t play a perfect game, but did enough damage to destroy VCU’s night. As unpredictable as this team has been, UD is peaking at the RIGHT TIME. A10 schedule is over.. it is time to bring back the “non conference” Flyers and take over Capital One Arena!

Enoch’s performance is so crucial to the Flyers’ success that without his help, the team is significantly less likely to win a lot of games. Needless to say, his talents and abilities directly influence the outcome of our games. Impact Player = ENOCH CHEEKS.. Go Flyers! 😤

[Dayton Basketball @DaytonMBB]

Game... Blouses‼️

[FELIX ALVAREZ @FelixMAlvarez]

Needless to say, the Flyers have been very unpredictable in A10 conference play… at this point with this team expect the unexpected, believe in the unbelievable, and achieve the unachievable. When you win games on the road, winning just feels better. WIN or LOSE Go Flyers!!

Dayton overcomes ‘hostile environment’ at Saint Louis for fourth victory in last five games https://t.co/11Pr3TsN39

[FELIX ALVAREZ @FelixMAlvarez]

Needless to say, watching the development of Amael L’Etang has been very exciting to say the least. He has so much potential for growth, and he fits perfectly in our basketball program. No limits set on his unlimited potential.. This is just the beginning for The Big Baguette 🇫🇷!

The Flyers’ losing streak ENDS! This is how it works… if you lose at the beginning of the season, you got off to a bad start; if you lose in the middle of the season, you’re in a slump; and if you lose at the end, you’re choking. The power of UNITY shining through.. Go Flyers!!

Dayton ends three-game losing streak with last-second victory in OT vs. Loyola https://t.co/J0qf58OWQG

For the Dayton Flyers to be a championship team they have to be resilient. No matter what is thrown at them, they must try to find a way to bounce back. This team is developing their strengths from their struggles. When you decide NOT to surrender, that is strength. GO FLYERS!!

[Matthew Schwade @FlyerHoops]

#RESILIENCY seems to be the resounding theme out of AG's mouth when he speaks about this team. I give you the Poster Boy of Resiliency, @JuiceCrewMali. His 5 points in the final 38 seconds pushed him into double figures and, when it looked so bleak, lifted his team to a win.

[FELIX ALVAREZ @FelixMAlvarez]

Needless to say, Zed Key has been a valuable FORCE for the Flyers. His game is always nonstop action and his energy is contagious. Zed has adapted very well to our system, and his attitude is fantastic. His reliability is solid, and his values align with the team’s culture.

[Matthew Schwade @FlyerHoops]

Dayton lost their star center to the NBA Draft and I think it’s safe to say they found an ABSOLUTE PERFECT fit in @iamzedkey to go with their remaining pieces! #RaiseTheRoof

[FELIX ALVAREZ @FelixMAlvarez]

The Flyers win their BIGGEST game of the season! #6 Marquette goes DOWN at UD Arena showing the reason why Top 25 teams don’t want to play Dayton at home. Playing at home is a huge advantage, but so is having a lot of talent and experience. What a Time to be Alive! Go Flyers!!

FLYERS WIN ✈️🏀

A Very Special Team Deserves A Very Special Quote: What a Great F*ck*ng Day To Be a FLYER!! BELIEVE and NEVER GIVE UP ‼️

What a Moment‼️

[FELIX ALVAREZ @FelixMAlvarez]

The Dayton Flyers UPSET 🚨UConn in Maui! The true measure of a good team isn’t how many times they win, but how many times they get up after they fall. To be great you need to win games you aren’t supposed to win. The underdogs can become the TOP DOGS! GOOD NIGHT!! 🗣️😤

[FELIX ALVAREZ @FelixMAlvarez]

So far this year, Malachi is playing the BEST season of his career. His overall skills appear to have evolved to a new level in every aspect of his game. His leadership is undoubtedly undisputed as Floor General. Mali is extremely valuable… just need to keep him Injury-Free!

[Dayton Basketball @DaytonMBB]

Big Time Performances ✈️🏀

[FELIX ALVAREZ @FelixMAlvarez]

Enoch has been the most essential player so far.. a leader who cares about the team’s culture and brand to such a high level that makes everyone else better and keeps the team together. We can’t mass produce somebody’s heart and soul, but you can be part of ONE Team, ONE Goal…

[David Jablonski @DavidPJablonski]

I know it’s early in the season, but I’m pleased with what I’m seeing from this Flyers team. Player rotations will be a critical component when dealing with new players. This team has a lot of experienced players and developing Team Chemistry will be the key to success..let’s go!

[David Jablonski @DavidPJablonski]

This was Dayton's first victory against a Big Ten team since it beat Iowa in the Advocare Invitational in November 2015. It had lost four straight to the Big Ten, falling to Nebraska (2016), Wisconsin (2022) and twice to Northwestern (2016 and 2023).

[FELIX ALVAREZ @FelixMAlvarez]

I have been waiting since March to say this…. In my mind, UD Basketball 🏀 season starts TODAY. This game counts IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE 1️⃣. Go Flyers!

[David Jablonski @DavidPJablonski]

Dayton-Xavier series has a storied history. ... Flyers and Musketeers play an exhibition game today at 5. https://t.co/Jc8QOmXnU2

Good luck to you Deuce! The good part of an injury, is that it strengthens you in many different ways. It is time to learn how to face new and unexpected challenges… Let’s Get It!!!

[DaRon Holmes II @DaRonagon]

Otw to surgery, wanted to thank everyone who reached out it really means a lot ! It was very cool to see how many people care, people I would never expect, human nature can be a beautiful thing man❣️

With that being said… I’ll be back and better soon! Let’s get to work🎯
