Dayton Flyers Release 2016-17 Men's Basketball Schedule
Home games against Saint Mary's and Vanderbilt, a trip to the Wooden Legacy tournament, a road game at Alabama, the first Flyer game in the city of Chicago in 27 years and an 18-game Atlantic 10 Conference slate headline the 2016-17 University of Dayton men's basketball schedule.
"We're really pleased with this schedule. It successfully balances the various objectives an NCAA-caliber schedule has to meet," UD Vice President and Director of Athletics Neil Sullivan said. "The Atlantic 10 is poised for a great year, and we have some marquee A-10 matchups home and away. The non-conference schedule is terrific for our fans and gives us an opportunity to earn a bid and advance in the NCAA Tournament."
For the fourth straight year, UD will play a record number of nationally televised games. The Flyers will play 22 contests on national television, one more than the previous school record set in 2014-15 and equaled in 2015-16. Dayton will play nine games on the ESPN family of networks and CBS Sports Network, two on NBC Sports Network, two on the American Sports Network and one on the Big Ten Network.
In addition, every game of the A-10 Men's Basketball Championship will also be nationally televised. The championship game will be televised by CBS for the eighth consecutive year.
Dayton finished the 2015-16 regular season as co-champions in the Atlantic 10, with a 14-4 conference record. UD was 25-8 overall, and reached the NCAA tournament for the third consecutive season. The Flyers' 78 wins over the last three seasons match the best three-year record in school history.
