Shocked in Salt Lake City: Nevada loses a 17-point second-half lead in the final 7 minutes, 15 seconds for a nightmare ending to one of the most successful seasons in school history. https://t.co/JkDAXsyIAy
Dayton's 17-pt comeback victory is the largest in the NCAA tournament since ... Nevada came back from 22 to defeat Cincinnati in 2018 ๐ณ https://t.co/HYyNg4WqQ0

UD FLYERS!!!!! Unreal. Down 18 with 7 to play. Couldnโt buy a basket-finished on a 25-4 run to come back and win it! Dayton hoops has such great history and an incredibly loyal fan base. Congrats to the Flyers and their fans on that shocking comeback. @DaytonMBB
UNR blows 17-point lead as Dayton ends game on 24-4 run in 63-60 win as 1.5 point underdogs. https://t.co/s0450wqLBx
Dayton just closed their game on a 26-4 run to get a final minute tourney win. 1) This tourney is the best. 2) The A10 is making moves today.
All the Nevada fans in my mentions last night are oddly silent. What an epic collapse. Not sure Iโve ever seen a 24-4 run to end the game. Tough one for the Mountain West.
An improbable comeback by the Dayton Flyers ๐คฏ https://t.co/A6OgLx3KzO
Not surprising ... anyone in @ViewFromVegas Nation still have a perfect #MarchMadness bracket left ... I actually still had a couple before Nevada's epic collapse :-( https://t.co/6fUnpsYeN4

DAYTON WAS DOWN 17 WITH SEVEN MINUTES TO GOโผ๏ธ The Flyers soar to their first NCAA tournament win since 2015 โ๏ธ https://t.co/sz3hBLxzrS
Dayton with a 24-4 run to come back and win it! Bracket is (miraculously) still perfect through 8 games. Gonna enjoy it while I canโฆ https://t.co/n6eLjd4e5U
Unfathomable how Nevada gave this one away. Really felt like Nevada took its foot off the gas offensively after leading by 17 instead of attacking, coinciding with Dayton catching fire from the field. This one is gonna sting for a long, long time in Reno.
Dayton goes on a 24-4 run down 17 with 7:19 left and wins. (The score was 56-39) https://t.co/Ww6iOBylNJ
Goooo, Dayton Flyers!! What a comeback!! No panic down 17!! What a finish!!
Dayton with a 24-4 run to end the game and cover +1.5. Unbelievable. https://t.co/rOVoinGm3H
Heartbreaking collapse by Nevada. Ouch
What a collapse by @NevadaWolfPack. @DaytonMBB moves on. I was perfect on the bracket until that finish. ๐ฅด
Dayton keeps dancing! https://t.co/c5NnFO35gX
Insanity. Dayton erased a 17-point second half deficit and advances to the Round of 32. The A10 is 2-0 in the NCAA Tournament. https://t.co/DNsZIsYPM8
(7) DAYTON ADVANCES TO THE ROUND OF 32 ๐ค The Flyers come back from 17 down to defeat (10) Nevada ___! #MarchMadness https://t.co/NGqxUGnHsY
Dayton wins and will play Arizona. 24-4 run over the last 7:14. Insane
Dayton 61, Nevada 60 // 37 seconds left Nevada ball. Wolf Pack usually goes to Kenan Blackshear here. He hit a shot on Nevada's last possession and has the matchup edge in this one. I'd be surprised if he doesn't get the ball here.
22-4 run for Dayton sees them take the one point lead with 31 seconds left.
An epic collapse in progress. #Nevada giving this game away. Terrible shot selection after building a huge lead and now they trail by 1.
WE GOT A TIE GAME FOLKS! @DaytonMBB just went on a 17-0 run. https://t.co/dzcTJmaOIB
Dayton leads for the first time since 3:15 in the first half. 19-2 run for the Flyers.

Dayton goes ice cold in the final five minutes of the first half as Nevada goes on an 18-2 run to lead by nine going into the break. All the momentum on the MWC side.
12-0 run for the Wolf Pack! https://t.co/wx7BT44DUf
It's a 12-0 run for Nevada ๐ #MarchMadness https://t.co/na7Ax2sFar
Nevada 30, Dayton 25 // 1:30 left in first half A 12-0 Nevada run gives the Wolf Pack its biggest lead of the game. Jarod Lucas and Nick Davidson hit back-to-back 3-pointers. Nevada had made 4-of-9 threes to Dayton's 3-of-11. Big stat with Flyers third in the nation in 3PT%.
Nevada just had five straight ridiculously good offensive possessions.....now leading Dayton 30-25...and the Wolfpack fans have traveled WELL
Dayton 25, Nevada 24 // 3:15 left in first half After eight straight misses dropped Nevada into a seven-point deficit, the Wolf Pack heads to the line for a chance to tie the game after the first half's last media timeout. Tre Coleman with eight; Kenan Blackshear with six.
Dayton 17, Nevada 16 // 9:33 left in first half DaRon Holmes II has eight points and four boards for Dayton, which has made just 1-of-5 threes. Kenan Blackshear, Nick Davidson and Tre Coleman with two baskets each for Nevada. Both teams 7-of-14.
