Nevada vs Dayton Prediction
Dayton had visions of winning its first Atlantic 10 tournament championship since 2003, but the Flyers were knocked out by eventual champion Duquesne in the quarterfinals.
The Flyers still own a solid ranking according to KenPom at 32, as Dayton hits the reset button to face Nevada.
The Wolf Pack finished tied for 2nd place in the Mountain West Conference with Boise State at 13-5, but Nevada was one and done in the tournament by falling to Colorado State.
Nevada was on fire to close the regular season with seven consecutive victories before the Colorado State loss, while compiling one of the top ATS marks in the country at 21-11.
Dayton lost five of its last seven road/neutral games, but the Flyers were favored in all five of those defeats.
Pick: Dayton +1 (-110)
