Dayton has an outside chance to make the NCAA Tournament field as an at-large team, but the Flyers are a deep bubble team.ย 

Dayton probably needs a run to the Atlantic 10 championship โ€“ and some good fortune with the other bubble teams in the ACC and SEC โ€“ to pump up their resume and maximize their chances.

The safest way for the Flyers to make the NCAA Tournament this year? Win the A10 automatic bid.
