I’ve been a lifelong Dayton Flyers fan, and so I was sad to see the injury bug bite the Flys pretty badly the last few weeks. Plus, against Xavier, Brian Roberts - probably one of the top 10 guard in the nation pound for pound - was really, really sick with what the doctors thought could be mono. I hope the Flyers get healthy and regain their winning ways - the NCAA Tourney is on the line.

Injuries are something every team deals with. Some teams (Pitt, Dayton) are hit harder than others.
I agree with you - if Dayton manages to get healthy before March Madness, they could definitely be a sleeper team to watch out for.
