The Golden Eagles struggled early and had only a 34-29 lead at the intermission, but they outscored Dayton, 39-22, in the second half.
Ramid Marshall and David Morris paced the Flyers (3-3) with 10 points apiece.
Dayton is 3-0 at home, but dropped to 0-3 on the road, also losing at Villanova and Cincinnati.
