Team: Dayton Flyers
Conference: Atlantic-10 Conference
Coach: Archie Miller
Record: 25-7, 14-4 in conference
KenPom Rank: 53
Good wins: Over Iowa, Monmouth; at Vanderbilt, over VCU at home.
Bad losses: a 3-point loss at LaSalle.
Impact Players: Dyshawn Pierre is 6'6" senior who was a huge part of last year's Sweet Sixteen run; he's undersized but leas the team in rebounds and is excellent at the free throw line and from beyond the arc. Junior guards Scoochie Smith and Charles Cooke add steals and blocks (respectively) and perimeter shooting punch for the defensive-minded Flyers.
