The Dayton Flyers looked all but done against the Nevada Wolf Pack in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, but a 24-4 run to end the game advanced them to the second round.
The No. 10-seeded Nevada Wolf Pack looked like they were going to move on to the second round of the NCAA Tournament with a win over the No. 7 Dayton Flyers. But this is March, and wacky things happen on the hardwood. The Flyers posted a 63-60 victory in the first round instead, closing out the game on a 24-4 run.
With about 7:36 left to play, Nevada led 56-39 after a a Jarod Lucas 3-pointer. But after coming back from a TV timeout, Nevada went cold at the worst possible time. Even worse for Nevada, Dayton was starting to feel it on offense. Koby Brea, who dropped 15 points in the game with 5-for-8 shooting from beyond the arc, hit one of those threes to make it 56-43, and DaRon Holmes II continued to chip away at the lead with layups and free throws.
