Dayton seniors Kendall Pollard and Scoochie Smith posed for photos with the new trophy and the old trophy they won a year ago when they split the title with St. Bonaventure and Virginia Commonwealth.

Dayton clinched its first outright championship March 1 by beating VCU on Senior Night. It turned out to be the last of 102 career victories for the seniors.
