Pick

I’m backing Dayton here. This does feel like a big number and it is, but Dayton’s been up to the task in a lot of their recent games. George Mason’s solid, but I just feel like Dayton is the better team in better form and they’re also trying to hunt down VCU for the conference regular season title. George Mason’s also had a lot of issues on the road as of late, so I’ll lay it and play it with Dayton here.
