One Associated Press top-25 voter has voted for the Flyers all season: Cecil Hurt, of the Tuscaloosa News. More voters will take note of the Flyers next week no matter what happens at 5 p.m. (Ohio time) Wednesday against Kansas in the championship game.

Dayton is already getting plenty of attention for its play in Maui. Here’s roundup of the comments from Twitter.
Clearly I will be voting Dayton No. 1 on Sunday night.

Obi Toppin is playing like an All-American and Dayton is playing for the Maui Invitational title on Wednesday. Flyers look as cohesive as any team in the sport right now.

Dayton, which won the 2003 Maui Invitational, will play for the 2019 Maui crown tomorrow night. And Obi Toppin might be the projected No. 1 pick in 2020 if he keeps this up.

What's the hashtag for the Obi Toppin NPOY campaign, by the way? I am ready and willing to sit in the driver's seat of that bandwagon, let's get it going

I know it’s early. And I know things change. But, man, Dayton looks terrific — and Obi Toppin looks like an All-American. He entered tonight’s game with the highest Player Efficiency Rating in college basketball. I assume it’ll improve after this performance.

Watching @DaytonMBB you can see they have a good spirit. How they interact throughout the game. Chemistry is real.
