Stats: https://daytonflyers.com/sports/mens-basketball/stats
Probable Starters:
6’10” DaRon Holmes (20.0 ppg & 8.0 reb) - Junior
6’7” Nate Santos (12.1 ppg & 6.6 reb) - Junior
6’2” Kobe Elvis (9.2 ppg) - Junior
5’10” Javon Bennett (9.0 ppg) - Sophomore
6’3” Enoch Cheeks (7.0 ppg & 4.9 reb) - Junior
Dayton suffered a huge loss when Malachi Smith went out with a torn lateral meniscus in the first game of the season. He is out for the year.
Reserves averaging double digit minutes:
6’6” Koby Brea (10.4 ppg) - Junior
Team Stats:
Dayton averages 73.6 points per game while giving up 63.1.
The Flyers shoot 47.1% from the floor and 36.5% from 3.
Opponents are shooting 40.1% from the field and 38.4% from 3.
They shoot 70.2% from the free throw line.
The Flyers are currently out rebounding their opponents by 1.5 boards per game and average 8.9 turnovers per game.
Thoughts: Dayton is currently 1st in the A10 in scoring defense, 1st in field goal percentage, 1st in 3 point field goal percentage, and 2nd in 3’s made. They have 3 Quad 1 wins and are undefeated against Quad 2, 3, and 4 teams. DaRon Holmes is currently 1st in the A10 in scoring and 3rd in rebounding and will be a great test for our bigs. Foul trouble for Kelly/Henry and Holmes will be key because they only go 6 deep. Are they invincible? No, but they are good. Pulling this off would be a great win, possibly a program defining win under TS. Get to the game, get loud, and let’s make this sh$t happen!!!!!!
