Before the start of the season, one player was declared academically ineligible, one was lost for the season to a knee injury, and another ended his playing career on medical advice due to post-concussion symptoms. In December, two more players were dismissed from the team after having been charged with theft. This left the Flyers with only six players who began the season on scholarship; in addition, no player on the remaining roster, whether on scholarship or a walk-on, was taller than 6'6" (1.98 m).http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/eye-on-college-basketball/24959759/dayton-keeps-winning-even-with-a-uniquely-limited-and-short-roster Dayton keeps winning even with a uniquely limited and short roster Gary Parrish Eye on College Basketball CBSSports.com January 13, 2015 March 16, 2015 Despite these roster limitations, the Flyers finished 27–9 overall and 13–5 in A-10 play, ending in a tie for second place in the league.
