Trends

Dayton is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 Sunday games and 2-6 ATS in their last 8 neutral site games. The under is 8-2 in Dayton’s last 10 games. VCU is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games and 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 neutral site games. The under is 9-4 in VCU’s last 13 games. The underdog is 4-0 ATS in these two teams last 4 head to head meetings. 

Pick

Dayton comes into this game after winning seven of their last nine games, but they have played inconsistently this season. VCU has won eight games in a row, but their last loss did come against Dayton at home. Both teams are very good on the defensive end of the court, so I expect a slow paced and low scoring game here. It is tough to know which Dayton team will show up for this matchup, so I am going to take the Rams here.
