Dayton didn't win two games in a row until the season was 17 games old, but did so in memorable fashion Friday, beating Virginia Commonwealth 106-79 at UD Arena. Here's how fans, media and others reacted to the highest-scoring UD game in 20 years.
3 words: That. Was. Fun. @DaytonMBB

The largest margin of victory in the UD-VCU series and the most points scored by a Dayton offense since 12/29/97 against Prairie View A&M. Enjoy this one tonight Flyers, tonight was indeed #LOWD

Never before have I seen such an embarrassing performance from a VCU team.

This is an awesome look. Modern offensive basketball at its finest. Layups/dunks and threes. Almost no low value shots. Keep doing this. https://t.co/97FT71dK6k

Dayton's 66 first half points vs. VCU appears to be highest scoring first half in a conference game since at least 2010.

Dayton last night: “Hold my beer.”
Grant took richmond a century and a half ago. now he's just playing with it.

The Harlem Globetrotters and Generals came on immediately following the UD-VCU game. You can’t make this stuff up.

Dayton's 76.6 eFG% against VCU was the team's best ever performance in KenPom's records ('02). 1.411PPP third best in same time frame.
