Saint Louis vs Dayton prediction

In Dayton's last game, it slipped past a pesky Richmond team in double-overtime, 74-64, last Saturday at UD Arena. While Dayton has won five of its last six at home in A-10 conference play at UD Arena, it hasn't been easy sledding for the Flyers since early February.

Dayton's last four regulation wins at home have come by an average margin of under five points.

SLU's No. 3 ranked team defense in points against per game in A-10 conference play has driven the Billikens rise in the conference standings down the stretch this regular season. Dominance in the paint and winning the battle on the boards has set the tone for SLU's three straight wins, including two by double digits last week.

Prediction: Saint Louis-71, Dayton-68
