Dayton Flyers basketball made the national news Friday morning, but not because of anything Archie Miller’s team did.
The school’s Mandarin Chinese student broadcast team was the subject of a feature on CBS This Morning.
The program began in 2015 with six students and rotating teams, but according to CBS Sports' Dana Jacobson, the duo of Xueyin Shi and Yiqing Zhou are set to follow the Flyers through their NCAA tournament run.
