Dayton Basketball: Flyers, Bradley Meet for First Time in 36 Years Wednesday in NIT

Bradley earned an NIT bid to extend its season while Dayton plays at Bradley due to hosting NCAA First Four; MVC placed four teams in the tournament.

  • The Bradley Braves host the Dayton Flyers on Wednesday at 9 p.m. at Carver Arena in Peoria, Illinois, in a 2026 National Invitation Tournament first-round matchup.
  • Dayton is traveling to Peoria because its home arena is hosting the NCAA First Four, forcing the seeded Flyers to play away from home for this tournament game.
  • The Braves hold a 9-2 all-time record against the Flyers but have not met since 1990. Bradley secured a National Invitation Tournament bid for a fourth consecutive postseason appearance.
  • Jaquan Johnson leads the Braves with 17.1 points and 3.6 assists per game, while Javon Bennett anchors the Flyers with 16.2 points per contest.
  • Advancing teams will compete in the tournament's second round scheduled for Saturday, March 21, and Sunday, March 22, at various campus sites.
