About Dayton: Freshman guard Khari Price is cleared to play after missing the season-opening 81-63 victory over Arkansas State. He experienced concussion-like symptoms after a collision in practice last week. Flyers coach Archie Miller said that will give the team more depth on the perimeter, and they’ll need that with three games in four days. … Dayton is 12-9 all-time against Pac 12 teams, but it hasn’t played a Pac 12 team since it faced Arizona in 2000 in the Maui Invitational.

About Colorado: The defending Pac-12 Conference tournament champion Buffaloes beat Wofford 74-59 in their season opener Friday. They shot 44 percent from the field and 78 percent at the free-throw line (28-of-36). … Robertson was one of 50 players named to the preseason watch list for the John Wooden Award. He ranked third in the nation last season with 11.1 rebounds per game and was fifth in the nation with 20 double-doubles. … Colorado finished 24-12 a year ago and beat UNLV in its first game in the NCAA tournament before losing to Baylor.

Miller on Colorado: “They’re really a good team, extremely well coached, very disciplined. They don’t beat themselves. They make you work on both ends of the floor. The biggest thing for us will be our ability to stop them in transition. They really, really run the ball down your throat. They can put fouls on you in a hurry getting the ball inside. Dinwiddie, in particular, is lethal in transition. Down at the other end, it’s not going to be one pass, two pass, shot. You’re not going to have success against them early in the shot clock. You’re going to have to really work and play team ball.”

Quick glance at rest of field: Dayton and Colorado play the first of four games today in Charleston. No. 19 Baylor (2-0) plays Boston College (1-0) at 3 p.m. (ESPNU). St. John’s (0-0) plays College of Charleston (1-0) at 5 p.m. (ESPNU). Murray State (1-0) plays Auburn (1-0) at 8 p.m. (ESPN3).

The Flyers will play Baylor or Boston College on Friday at 12:30 p.m. if they beat Colorado or 2:30 if they lost. Their final game will be Sunday.
