Flyers to play in NIT for fourth time in eight seasons, earn No. 1 seed
DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) – After a disappointing early exit from the Atlantic 10 Tournament the UD men's basketball team accepted a bid to play in the NIT on Sunday night for the fourth time in the last eight seasons.
The Flyers earn a No. 1 seed in the Dayton Region.
It will be the first National Invite Tournament appearance for Dayton in three years.
Because their homecourt at UD Arena is in use for the NCAA First Four, the Flyers will take on Florida Atlantic in Boca Raton at the Elanor R. Baldwin Arena on Wednesday at 7 p.m.
The game will be broadcasted on ESPN2.
The Flyers are one of 32 teams in the NIT field.
Dayton suffered a frustrating 73-68 loss to St. Joe's in the quarterfinal round of the Atlantic 10 Tournament as the No. 3 seed on Friday night. It marked their second-straight exit from the conference championship bracket in the quarterfinal.
The Flyers carry a 22-10 overall record into the NIT.
