Searcy expected to start for Flyers
Dayton coach Brian Gregory said junior forward-center Devin Searcy will likely be in the starting lineup when the Flyers open the season at home Saturday against Creighton.
Returning starters Kurt Huelsman, Chris Wright, Marcus Johnson and London Warren also will be in the first unit. But while Searcy has been almost exclusively a post player during his career, he’ll line up at the 4 spot and play outside to keep the lane free. Gregory prefers a four-out-one-in offense.
The seventh-year coach pointed out that UD’s frequent substititions make the issue of who’s in the starting lineup less important than it would be for other teams. But Searcy has improved significantly since last year and earned a starting spot.

Said it before and I’ll say it again: Searcy should start with Wright, C. Johnson, M. Johnson, and L. Warren. Huelsman should be a reserve.

Enjoy the first two minutes when BG rotates in a guy at 18:02 mark. BG, let some guys get in the flow this year. You don’t have to sub every 3 minutes.

Creighton will be small Saturday. I’d imagine BG is looking to take early advantage of that… at the sub point, Searcy will either move to 5, or sit for a bit and return at 5. They’ll cause defensive match-up problems the entire game, particularly with guys switching positions. The big guys will have a huge game, if they can finish their shots.
