Davidson Wildcats vs. Dayton Flyers Predictions
The Dayton Flyers are entering this matchup with an impressive 13-0 record at home, looking to extend their six-game winning streak. They’ve been dominant at UD Arena and will rely on their top scorer and rebounder, DaRon Holmes II, who is averaging 20.2 points and 7.9 rebounds per game. The Flyers’ offensive firepower is further bolstered by their 39.2% shooting from beyond the arc, ranking them 33rd in the nation. With a conference record of 11-3, they are a formidable force in the A-10.
Davidson, on the other hand, has had a more turbulent season with a 5-9 conference record. The Wildcats will look to Grant Huffman and Reed Bailey to lead the charge, with Huffman contributing 13.1 points and 5.1 assists per game, and Bailey adding 5.9 rebounds per game. Despite their struggles, Davidson has shown resilience and the ability to compete, as evidenced by their 14-11 record against the spread. They’ll need to leverage their defensive tactics, which have helped them stay competitive in recent outings.
This game will likely hinge on the battle inside the paint and the perimeter shooting of both teams. Dayton’s ability to convert from long range could be the key to unlocking Davidson’s defense, while the Wildcats’ success will depend on disrupting the Flyers’ rhythm and controlling the tempo. With both teams eager to make a statement in the late season, this matchup promises to be a compelling display of Atlantic 10 basketball.
Davidson Wildcats vs. Dayton Flyers Pick
The Dayton Flyers have established themselves as a powerhouse at home with an unblemished 13-0 record, and they are currently riding a six-game winning streak. Their offensive efficiency, particularly from the three-point line where they shoot an impressive 39.2%, makes them a tough opponent for any team visiting UD Arena. Additionally, DaRon Holmes II’s consistent performance as both a scorer and rebounder provides the Flyers with a reliable anchor on both ends of the court. Considering their strong conference record of 11-3 and the fact that they are the favorites in this matchup, the Flyers’ moneyline bet is the more secure pick.
While Davidson has been competitive and has a decent record against the spread, their overall performance this season, especially in conference play, suggests they may struggle against a team of Dayton’s caliber. The Wildcats’ 5-9 conference record and their less impressive road record of 4-6 indicate potential difficulties in facing a top-tier A-10 opponent away from home. Furthermore, Dayton’s current form and historical dominance at home, where they have not dropped a single game this season, reinforce the expectation that the Flyers will continue their winning ways. Therefore, the smart money is on the Dayton Flyers to come out on top in this encounter.
The Pick: Dayton Flyers -525. (Bet365)
