Wichita State and Dayton have a lot in common. Each mid-major has a routine of upsetting lower-seeded teams in the NCAA Tournament. Friday night, when the Flyers and the Shockers take the court with one another, two point guards with different jerseys, each with the name “Smith” engraved in the back, will take the court.
Dayshon Smith (Dayton) and Daishon Smith (Wichita State), go head-to-head.
Dayshon is no newcomer to the NCAA Tournament. He’s appearing in his fourth.
Dayton’s Dayshon goes by “Scoochie” — a name given to him by his grandpa.
Scoochie is a point guard for the Flyers.
