- Gold Standard on Dayton
This Dayton squad is one of the most battle-tested teams in the nation. The Flyers have beaten Northwestern, UConn, and Marquette and have single-digit losses to UNC and Iowa State. Dayton is playing extremely well on both ends of the floor and this experienced team is figuring out how to win games. Cincinnati on the other hand has not played many high-level teams this season. The Bearcats lost to Villanova by eight points on the road and barely beat Xavier at home. In those two games, Cincinnati averaged just 64 PPG. Cincinnati has struggled offensively against tougher opponents this season and I expect that trend to continue in this game. The Bearcats are not a very deep team and they are shooting 62% from the free-throw line this season. Cincinnati also does not play at a fast pace as they are just 282nd in the nation in possession per game. The Bearcats are playing well on the defensive end as they have not given up more than 68 points this season. The Flyers are used to tough competition and they have gained many valuable lessons through those wins and losses. Dayton relies heavily on their starting unit to play big minutes but this unit is growing stronger and stronger each game. Cincinnati has not been tested much this season but when they have, things have not looked good for the Bearcats. Take Dayton to cover the spread and win their 11th game of the season.
