That just happened. Dayton beats Nevada 63-60. They were dead. Now they're very much alive. One of the great victories in UD history. pic.twitter.com/dFIqUBmVOp

Unreal. Down 18 with 7 to play. Couldn’t buy a basket-finished on a 25-4 run to come back and win it!
Dayton hoops has such great history and an incredibly loyal fan base. Congrats to the Flyers and their fans on that shocking comeback. @DaytonMBB
I want to remind folks that Dayton owns 5 wins over the NCAA Tournament field. They also had the toughest non conference schedule than just about any team. They are very dangerous, and figuring it out.

I know this sounds crazy, but I can say with 99.1% certainty, that I fell asleep and dreamt that Nevada scored 4 points over the final 7:36 and blew a 17-point lead over Dayton. I know, right?
