Tu Holloway scored 32 points and sealed the game with a rebound as Xavier prevented Dayton from taking a game in Cincinnati for the first time since 1981.
Xavier's turbulent season was marred by the loss of a 17-game home winning streak, a conference record 43-game winning streak against Atlantic 10 foes and most likely its string of five straight regular season conference titles.
But after dropping a 72-67 decision to the Flyers in Dayton on January 21st, Xavier avenged the loss and kept sent the Flyers up I-75 with another loss.
Holloway led all scorers but had help from Mark Lyons 20 points and Dezmine Wells 12.
The Flyers were led by Kevin Dillard with 20, including a huge basket with 1.2 seconds left to send the game to overtime. Chris Johnson scored 18 as did Paul Williams. Matt Kananaugh added 12 to Dayton's effort.
