NCAA Basketball Picks: Dayton at Xavier

The Musketeers are doing it with defense, giving up 62.7 points per game and 38.6 percent shooting on the season.

They will be going for their 24th straight conference victory at the Cintas Center, but they'll be facing a Dayton team that's allowing 60.4 points per game and 39.3 shooting.

Smells like a low-scoring game to us. The under is a good bet since it is 4-1 in the last five meetings between these schools.

The Flyers snapped a two-game slide Saturday, beating Temple 70-65. They'll be trying to end a much longer skid at Xavier, as their last victory there came Jan. 10, 1981.

The Musketeers have won 15 of the last 19 in the series. Be sure to get your NCAA picks in the Bodog Sportsbook today.
