The Dayton Flyers men’s basketball team is a midsize significant college basketball program that competes in NCAA Division I and the Atlantic 10 Conference (A-10) representing the University of Dayton in Ohio. The Flyers play their home games.
A 2015 study of college basketball staff valuations placed Dayton No. 23 in the country with 2014 adjusted revenues in excess of $16.6 million (greatest for non-football conference programs) along with a valuation of almost $84 million (second highest for non-football summit programs and greater than programs like Florida, Texas, and Michigan).
Soon the school hired Oklahoma City Thunder assistant trainer and Dayton alum Anthony Grant as head coach on March 30, 2017. Grant formerly served as head coach at Alabama and VCU. His first time at Dayton watched the Flyers complete the first time since the 05-06 year the team finished with a losing record.
His year featured breakout freshman Obi Toppin, who headed the team to a third place finish in the A10. They also missed the NCAA championship, and lost their first game of the conference championship. They got a five seed but lost at Colorado in the first round.
Dayton has historical rivalries with various area teams including Xavier, Wright State, and Miami (Ohio), as well as fellow Catholic schools such as Marquette, DePaul, and Notre Dame. Dayton has met Xavier 158 occasions, more than any other opponent, and holds an 84–75 border in the show through 2019. Dayton and Xavier play for the Blackburn/McCafferty Trophy.
With the departure of Xavier into the Big East at 2013, Dayton hunted for a new Atlantic 10 competition game that included a trophy. Each year Dayton plays Atlantic 10 rival St. Louis University for the rights to the Arch Baron Cup Arch Baron Cup.
