Per Dayton Daily News.......




UD men's basketball team ready for a fight — literally

The coaches told him they wanted their players “out of their element, their comfort zone, their cushy surroundings” at the Donoher Center and on the University of Dayton campus.

That’s how the Dayton Flyers basketball team — for the first two months of the school year, one day a week — ended up in downtown Dayton at Drake’s Gym, a place that is many things, though “cushy” is not one of them.

When the Flyers walked into the old produce warehouse turned no-frills fight and fitness club — where they’d hoist truck tires, pound on Shaq-sized heavy bags and, as London Warren now remembers it, “do 5,000 push-ups” — they were greeted by the unsmiling images of legends like Roberto Duran and Muhammad Ali staring down at them from the walls, walls painted with one prevailing message: “No Whining.”

I think the pastey ass whimp in the front right needs to put on a shirt before he blinds everyone. Also, does their "coach" there in the front have a mohawk or a mullet? I cant tell.....

Hopefully Dayton will be able to do the same thing to their first opponent in the NIT. Enjoy your day...and your typical non-NCAA March. Last year's appearance didn't become the new rule, it was the exception.

Between this article and photo and the whole dressing up like Rocky thing, I think we have stumbled upon Dayton's top secret plan.

Due to the fact that the Dayton Flyers basketball team has had no recent success, they are transitioning the program from basketball to boxing, hoping they can win in the ring the way they couldn't on the hardwood. Coach Gregory was overheard saying that he picked boxing because "Xavier doesn't have a boxing team yet, so maybe we can pass them as a boxing program".

:p
