The Dayton Flyers (16-7) look to keep their home winning streak alive as they take on the VCU Rams (18-5) in a key Atlantic 10 showdown. Tip-off is set for 7:00 PM ETon Friday.
The Rams enter this contest sitting in second place in the A-10 with an 8-2 conference record. They burst out of the gate with a 4-0 start before suffering back-to-back defeats. However, they quickly bounced back with five straight victories before hitting another rough patch, dropping two of three. Since then, VCU has been on fire, winning eight of their last nine—though a costly loss to Saint Louis could impact their NCAA Tournament hopes. In their most recent outing, VCU dominated La Salle after a tight opening stretch, storming to a 20-point halftime lead and ultimately cruising to a 96-66 win.
The Flyers, currently fourth in the A-10, have had their ups and downs but are finding their stride at the right time. They kicked off the season at 4-0 before suffering setbacks against North Carolina and Iowa State. However, Dayton responded in a big way, pulling off a statement upset over UConn and rattling off four consecutive wins. A midseason slump saw them drop four of five, but since then, they've turned things around, winning five of their last six. In their latest matchup, Dayton edged out Davidson in a hard-fought battle, using a clutch 10-0 run in the final three minutes to secure a 69-63 victory.
