What to Know

After two games on the road, the Dayton Flyers are heading back home. The Flyers and the Massachusetts Minutemen will face off in an Atlantic 10 battle at 7 p.m. ET Wednesday at University of Dayton Arena. Dayton is out to keep their six-game home win streak alive.

While not quite a landslide, the contest between Dayton and the Saint Joseph's Hawks this past Saturday was still a pretty decisive one as Dayton wrapped it up with a 74-62 win on the road. Dayton relied on the efforts of forward DaRon Holmes II, who had 18 points along with five boards and four blocks, and guard Malachi Smith, who posted a double-double on 16 points and ten rebounds in addition to six dimes.

Meanwhile, UMass didn't have too much breathing room in their matchup with the La Salle Explorers this past Saturday, but they still walked away with an 80-74 victory. The Minutemen got double-digit scores from five players: guard C.J. Kelly (18), guard Rich Kelly (17), forward Michael Steadman (12), guard Noah Fernandes (10), and forward Greg Jones (10).

The Flyers are the favorite in this one, with an expected 12-point margin of victory. They are currently four-for-four against the spread in their most recent games, a trend bettors might want to take into account.

The wins brought Dayton up to 19-8 and UMass to 12-13. Dayton is 12-6 after wins this season, UMass 2-9.
