The NCAA Men’s Basketball AP Pre-Season Poll Is Out – Dayton Flyers Ranked 24th

For the first time since the final poll of the 2019-2020 season, the Dayton Flyers are ranked in the AP Top-25. The Flyers were ranked 3rd the last time they appeared in the poll but they find themselves sitting at 24 in this years pre-season poll.

The program is geared to have a huge season coming up and the expectations are through the roof highlighted of course by the AP Top-25 pre-season ranking. UD returns all five of their starters from a season ago where they finished 24-11 and second in the A10.

The Flyers will tip-off the 2022-2023 campaign on November 7th as they will welcome Lindenwood to UD Arena.

All that matters is where you finish ✈️🏀 https://t.co/yQR4aRL5db
