The Loyola Chicago Ramblers (17-9) put their five-game home winning streak on the line when they host the Dayton Flyers (18-8) on Friday at 7:00 PM ET.
The Flyers (8-5) had high expectations coming into the season, even cracking the Top 25 at one point. However, things haven’t gone as planned, and now they find themselves on the outside looking in when it comes to NCAA Tournament contention. Barring a miraculous run, Dayton may need to win the conference tournament to punch their ticket. That said, their struggles haven’t stemmed from the offensive end, as they average 75.1 points per game despite playing at a deliberate, slower pace.
Meanwhile, the Ramblers (8-5) are riding a three-game win streak and have won five of their last six. While expectations weren’t as lofty as Dayton’s, they find themselves in a similar situation. The key to their recent success? A stifling defense that has held seven of their last eight opponents under 70 points.
