With seven seniors and the vo- cal leaders of the team gone, the top two scorers from last year’s University of Dayton men’s basket- ball team are ready to take over. Senior forward Chris Wright and junior forward Chris Johnson head the roster for the 2010-2011 Flyers. Last season, the two fi n- ished fi rst and third in minutes played, along with fi rst and second in scoring and rebounding to lead the squad. In all likelihood, this dominant duo will continue lead- ing the Flyers again this season, as playing together has become easy for the two forwards. “I always know where CJ’s go- ing to be at just because I know his game, and I know if I’m loafi ng and not going for a board, CJ’s going to have his knee on my neck,” Wright said. “I’ve known him for a while, Junior forward Chris Johnson (left) and senior forward Chris Wright (right) watch their Flyers during a home game last season at UD Arena.

THE ATLANTIC 10 CONFERENCE COACHES POLL SATURDAY BAND BATTLE HAS WINNER PRESEASON RANKINGS Four man group gets choice of spot in next music competition FRANK STANKO A&E Editor

Tyrannosaurus Bear won Saturday’s Battle of the Bands concert, which ran from 4 to 7 p.m. in Humanities Plaza, guaranteeing the group a spot in the spring Battle. The band, featuring senior music major Philip Titlebaum, junior English major Michael Winn, sophomore psychology major Danny D’Alessandro and sophomore music education major Wil Morris, played four original songs, the same amount as every other competing band. According to Winn, scheduling and lineup issues Tyrannosaurus Bear faced were for the best. “We played last year’s Battle of the Bands, and there, we had about six weeks to get ready,” he said. “[We] had to get ready for this concert, with our new member, in Tyrannosaurus Bear performs for Saturday afternoon’s Battle of the Bands in Humanities Plaza.
