DaRon Holmes II and No. 7-seed Dayton will take the court against Caleb Love and No. 2-seed Arizona today.
The No. 7-seeded Dayton will take on the No. 2-seeded Arizona in the second round of the West Region of the Men’s NCAA Tournament at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Flyers came into this game with much to prove. They have an NBA-prospect in DaRon Holmes II, but a team is made up of more than just one start player. They secured a spot despite bowing out of the Atlantic 10 Tournament with a quarterfinal loss to Duquesne, who went on to win the conference and upset No. 6-seed BYU in the first round. As a No. 7 seed, they were placed with arguably the toughest No. 10 seed in Nevada and forced into an underrated game where they went in as underdogs. Holmes II finished with 18 points on 5-of-8 shooting with a team-high nine rebounds. Koby Brea also finished with 15 points, the only two players in double figures, and three assists with two rebounds. This team with have to push the ball, make shots, get the ball in Holmes’ hands, and get quality stops on defense if it wants to take down Arizona.
