2023 A10 tournament winner

The 2022–23 Dayton Flyers men's basketball team represented the University of Dayton in the 2022–23 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. They were led by head coach, Anthony Grant, in his sixth season with the Flyers. The Flyers played their home games at UD Arena in Dayton, Ohio as members of the Atlantic 10 Conference. They finished the season 20–11, 12–6 in A-10 Play to finish a three-way tie for 2nd place. They defeated Saint Joseph's in the quarterfinals of the Atlantic 10 tournament and Fordham in the semifinals before losing in the championship game to VCU. They preemptively declined any postseason invitations, making it unclear whether they were poised to join the National Invitation Tournament field.[1]

Previous season

[edit]

The Flyers finished the 2021–22 season 24–11, 14–4 in A-10 play to finish in a tie for second place. As the No. 2 seed in the A-10 tournament, they defeated UMass in the quarterfinals before losing in the semifinals to Richmond. They were one of the last four teams not selected for the NCAA tournament[2] and received an at-large bid to the National Invitation Tournament.[3] There they defeated Toledo in the first round[4] before losing in the second round to Vanderbilt.[5]
