On this day, six years ago... Carl Elliott stuns UD Arena and the Flyers

On this day in 2005, The Dayton Flyers hosted the George Washington Colonels in a critical Atlantic 10 conference showdown. Dayton was ahead by 7 late in the second half, George Washington stormed back to tie the game at 59. The Flyers had the ball with time winding down, Monty Scott dribbled to his left and passed the ball to Marques Bennett on the left wing, the pass was intercepted by George Washington’s Carl Elliott, Elliott got past the mid-court stripe and heaved a 30 footer that hit nothing but the bottom of the net. The George Washington bench exploded off of the court and the Arena was dead silent. You could not hear a pin drop, it was that silent. Elliott scored just five points that game, but his last three were his most memorable. The Colonels would go on to win the Atlantic 10 Championship that season and bow out in the first round in the NCAA tournament. I was at the game with my Mom and Dad and my cousin Eli, who is still shocked about the Elliott three pointer. Eli could not believe how shocked the Arena was whne Elliotts three went through the net.
