Dayton has beaten 3 BCS schools on this date in recent history. 1999, 2005 and 2008
1999: The Undefeated Flyers traveled to US Bank Arena to take on the Kentucky Wildcats (my favorite basketball team at the time). The Cats lead by 11 in the 2nd Half, but Dayton rallied back thanks to the clutch shooting of Tony Stanley and his 23 points as the Flyers upset the Wildcats 68-66. It was during my senior year in High School and other than Graduation, it was my classes favorite moment because they got to give me a hard time about it the remainder of our senior year
2005: The Flyers traveled to Fifth Third Arena to take on the Cincinnati Bearcats. just 48 hours removed from the Double Overtime defeat at Creighton. The Flyers jumped out and stunned the Bearcats behind the play of Brian Roberts, Monty Scott and James Cripe. The Flyers defeated the Bearcats 66-58
2008: The Flyers played in the Finals of the Chicago Invitation Challenge and they were facing the Marquette Golden Eagles. Behind the play of Chris Wright, Rob Lowery and Chris Johnson, the Flyers stunned Marquette 85-71 to win the Chicago Invitation Challenge.
