MATCHUP SUMMARY
The Dayton Flyers offense will be too much for the Saint Mary’s Gaels team. St Mary’s may play good defense but stopping an offense like the Flyers will be a very tough task. The Flyers will turn this into a high-scoring game and should have no problem covering the spread. St Mary’s only chance would be to keep the flyer star Obi Toppin from taking over the game and scoring his average 22 points per game.
