Men’s Basketball Hits Road To Play Loyola On Saturday

DAYTON – The University of Dayton men’s basketball team hits the road for its first Atlantic 10 road game of the season this weekend, taking on Loyola Chicago on Saturday, Jan. 3 at 2 p.m. ET at Gentile Arena.

Saturday’s tilt will be broadcast on CBS Sports Network.

 

The Flyers (10-4, 1-0 A-10) led wire-to-wire over Fordham, scoring on their first possession and never looking back. Loyola (5-9, 1-0 A-10) picked up a road win to start Atlantic 10 action on Wednesday, outlasting Rhode Island 61-57.
 

Senior Jordan Derkack was impressive on the afternoon as he recorded a career-high in rebounds with 14 and a Dayton career-high in points with 15 for the third double-double of his collegiate career. Three other Flyers contributed double-digit points on the afternoon, with redshirt sophomore Jaiun Simon scoring a career-high 11.

Dayton looks to snap a two-game losing skid in Gentile Arena on Saturday, having last won in the home of the Ramblers in the 2022-23 campaign.
