It is now post-Thanksgiving, and we have not one, but THREE Dayton Flyer basketball games to cover, including Dayton's massive victory against back-to-back national champion UConn! Plus, I have thoughts on Dayton's other two games in the Maui Invitational, the two big upcoming games against Marquette and Cincinnati, and (sigh), the AP Poll's very controversial decision. Follow me on X (formerly Twitter) for all updates related to the podcast, thanks for listening! New episode next week!
Every year, the Dayton Flyers, like most college basketball programs, take part in an invitational tournament. And this year, it's in arguably the most prestigious of them all; the Maui Invitational in...uh...Maui. The Flyers have a good track record in Maui over the years, but in a stacked field for this edition, there is a LOT to break down. And to do that, I've called on my good friend and fellow Dayton Flyer podcaster Flying with Doug, to hear his thoughts on how Dayton can emerge victorious in a stacked Maui Invitational. The Dayton Flyers take on the North Carolina Tar Heels on Monday, November 25th at 11:30 p.m. ET. Hope you're watching! But for now, enjoy the recap!
