North Carolina Central vs Dayton Prediction 

Dayton comes into this matchup after picking up an overtime win over Marquette and they are 4-1 to start the season. The Flyers are shooting 48% from the field and their lone loss was on the road against Cincinnati. NC Central has two wins against non-D1 teams this season, but they are shooting just 39% from the field and have scored 62 points or fewer in their three D1 games. I don’t see a number listed for this game yet, but I can’t back NC Central. Take Dayton or pass here.
