Game outlook
Dayton is on the road playing Virginia Tech at the Cassell Coliseum stadium on Wednesday, 12/7/2022 @ 8:00pm EST. Virginia Tech -7.5 was the opening favorite and line hasn't moved.
Dayton travels to Virginia Tech on Wednesday night looking to extend its winning streak. After being swept in three games in the Bahamas, the Flyers beat Western Michigan and Southeast Louisiana. Including Sunday's conference opener against No. 18 North Carolina, Virginia Tech has won eight of its first nine games.
Turnover issues must be addressed
Three of Dayton's first four games were wins. The Flyers struggled in Battle 4 Atlantis, losing to Wisconsin, NC State, and BYU in three games. They lost to the Badgers by one point and to BYU in overtime, so they were competitive. Dayton was favored in all three games, making it a disappointing result. Western Michigan was blown out by the Flyers, who covered the spread by 18 points. On Saturday, they beat Southeast Louisiana 80-74, but failed to cover the 17.5-point spread.
Dayton sophomore forward DaRon Holmes II leads the team with 15.9 points and 7.2 rebounds, while sophomore forward Mustapha Amzil adds 11.1 points and 4.8 rebounds. Toumani Camara averages nearly a double-double with 11.0 points and 9.3 rebounds. With a turnover rate of 302, the Flyers hope to improve. Just 27.6% of their 3-point attempts were made. 54.4% of Dayton's 2-point attempts have been made inside the arc. Virginia Tech's defense ranks 78 in KenPom's adjusted defensive efficiency ratings.
