What to Know

The Dayton Flyers will head out on the road to face off against the SMU Mustangs at 8:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday at Moody Coliseum. Both teams come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous matches.

Last Friday, the Flyers earned a 77-69 victory over the Penguins.

Dayton's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but DaRon Holmes II led the charge by scoring 18 points along with 4 blocks. Koby Brea was another key contributor, scoring 15 points along with 7 rebounds.

Meanwhile, the Mustangs beat the Warhawks 70-57 on Sunday.

Among those leading the charge was Zhuric Phelps, who scored 21 points. He continues to roll, besting his previous point total in each of the last four games he's played. The team also got some help courtesy of Chuck Harris, who scored 15 points along with 5 rebounds.

The Flyers are on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four contests, which provided a nice bump to their 4-2 record this season. As for the Mustangs, their win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 5-2.

While fans of both teams were happy after their last outing, their bettors probably weren't as neither team covered. As for their next game, SMU is expected to win a tight contest, barring any buzzer beaters. Bettors picking them against the spread have some confidence (to put it mildly), as the team is sitting on a three-game streak of failing to cover when playing at home.

This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: Dayton have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 31 rebounds per game. However, it's not like SMU struggles in that department as they've been even better at 40.9 per game. Given these competing strengths, it'll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.
