Guys - Dayton is a historically decent program in a solid A-10 conference. They aren't a D2 team or a low level D1 team. It's a mid-major that should be better next year. They'd beat Southern by 20-30 points.

UConn wins big but not the 60-70 pt MOV I'm seeing.

UConn - 85
Dayton - 54

I was pretty close last time. But over shot it just a bit. Gotta be more conservative.

UCONN - 345
Dayton - 29

People will complain that we gave up too many points in the last 3 minutes and the student managers didn’t play the whole second half. A BY nightmare.

Clearly I am looking at the Dayton Flyers through a lens that is different from most BYers. I sense a completely different Dayton team than the fledgling group that went 7-21 last year, losing 5 games by one point or in OT. For the entire year, Tamika only played 6-7 players per game. I think Tamika will have her battle-tested upperclassmen on the floor for the whole game. It will be interesting to see how our new folks play against D-I juniors/seniors and grad students. With that in mind, and thinking that the Flyers will close the gap slightly in the fourth quarter, my prediction is closer than most (all?) of my fellow prognosticators:

UConn: 87
Dayton: 62
