Massachusetts at Dayton

UMass is 11-4 but they come in to face a better team in Dayton. This is the highest ranking for the Flyers (#14) in 40 years and they have won 13 games in a row. They are a perfect 10-0 at home and they own the best player in the Atlantic 10 in Brian Roberts. He's getting 20.1 ppg on 50% shooting while also dishing out 4.5 assists per game. The Minutemen can score with the best of them but their defense is atrocious. They are allowing 79 ppg on the season including 82.5 per game on the road. In contrast, Dayton allows just 63 ppg. That doesn't bode well for UMass as they are 1-10 the past three seasons on the road vs. teams allowing 64 or fewer points per game. This arena will be electric tonight and Dayton comes away with the W.
