Against the spread
Dayton can be too loose with the basketball and does not always get much done on the offensive glass. But those are not areas ripe for takeover by the Explorers. and in every other facet of the game at both ends of the floor, UD is the superior team. And to the tune of a lead widening by a possession or more every 10 minutes. Flyers by 2 touchdowns is a fair assessment: PASS.
Over/Under
The Under is 5-1 in UD’s last 6 games against under-.500 opponents. And the Under has hit 8 times in the last 10 games of this series.
Dayton plays at a bottom-50 tempo, and La Salle doesn’t have the 3-point or free-throw frequency to make for push-back on the upside. Peg this game with as much of a chance to land in the 120s as the 130s. So, there is value in the UNDER 135.5 (-110).
