What to Know

Get ready for an Atlantic 10 battle as the #3 Dayton Flyers and the Rhode Island Rams will face off at 9 p.m. ET Wednesday at Thomas M. Ryan Center. Dayton is currently enjoying an 18-game winning streak and is looking to extend their dominance.

The Flyers strolled past the Davidson Wildcats with points to spare last week, taking the contest 82-67. It was another big night for Dayton's forward Obi Toppin, who posted a double-double on 23 points and 12 rebounds.

Meanwhile, Rhode Island came up short against the Saint Louis Billikens on Sunday, falling 72-62. Rhode Island got double-digit scores from four players: guard Fatts Russell (17), forward Cyril Langevine (12), guard Jeff Dowtin (11), and guard Tyrese Martin (11). Langevine has also now had at least three blocks in his past three games.

Dayton's victory brought them up to 27-2 while Rhode Island's loss pulled them down to 20-8. Two stats to keep an eye on: Dayton enters the game with only 5.5 steals given up per game on average, good for 14th best in college basketball. But Rhode Island comes into the matchup boasting the 11th most steals per game in college basketball at 8.7. Ball control might end up being a major factor in this one.
