NIT Tournament 2012, Dayton Vs. Iowa: Hawkeyes Down Dayton, 84-75
The Flyers received a strong effort from Kevin Dillard, who finished with 23 points, five rebounds and six assists, but only one of his teammates was able to crack double-digit scoring.
Dayton was able to keep the game close early, trailing by only three entering the break. But the Hawkeyes broke the game open with a 16-3 run in the second half and never looked back. The game wasn’t as close as the final score might suggest, as Dayton scored the final six points off back-to-back three-pointers from Josh Parker and Mitch Asmus in the final 42 seconds.
