Will the University of Dayton basketball team live up to its Top 25 ranking?
Will the University of Dayton Flyers basketball team live up to its Top 25 ranking?
ASHLEY LAKER, Dayton: “I believe so. They have a lot of the same strong players that they had last year, and they did well last year. So with more time together, they should be even better.”
CURTIS CORNWELL, Trotwood: “Of course. They’ve got an All-American with Chris Wright; they have three-point-shooting guard Chris Johnson; and they’ve just been improving every year. It’s about time for them to be in the top 25 ranking and to go further in the tournament.”
LOGAN HICKS, Tipp City: “Yes, because they will have London Warren as point guard this year. Last year, with London Warren not playing enough time to show his full potential, it held the Flyers back.”
BRETT MIETCZCHOWKI, Dayton: “Yeah, I think they’ll probably stay in the 15-to-25 range. I don’t think they’ll get enough national attention to get up there with the big teams.”
STEVE MARSHALL, Miamisburg: “Yes. They have a couple of good recruits this year. Chris Wright will do well, and he’s pretty good.”
FRANCES AVERY, Troy: “No. There’s a lot of good teams out there.”
MICHELLE CRENSHAW, Dayton: “Of course they will. I have no doubts about that. They have great team bonding and a lot of strong players, so I believe they’ll go all the way.”

Does UD have a contract with the local news media that Coach Gregory must appear at least five times a week in the newspaper and on television? Although the season has just started,I’ve been tired of seeing and reading about this coach since last July. There ARE other college basket-ball teams—and coaches— in the area.

Michele, I log on each day to the Dayton Daily News Web site and would love nothing better than to have more UD coverage than what we are already provided. Just wanted to give a differing view point.

They should be consistently better than last year. The starts are all veterans with a superb bench.
