Flyers faring well under pressure
Dayton is 7-0 in games decided by five points or fewer this season. In the Fordham and George Washington contests, the Flyers could be accused of playing down to the level of competition. But at least you can say one thing about these guys so far: They don’t crack under pressure.
Last year’s team also did well in close tests, going 7-2 in games decided by five points or less.
“It’s a long season, and a lot of times the difference between a great season and a good season is those close games, how many do you win?” coach Brian Gregory said. “If you win most of them, you’re going to have a great season. If you win half of them, you’re going to have a good season. If you lose most of them, you’re going to have a bad season.
“We have competitive kids, and that competitive spirit has helped us in those types of games.”
