VCU is coming into this game with an 18-5 record this season and they are 8-2 in the conference. They have been playing very well recently as they have won 8 of their last 9 games, and they have also been playing in some high scoring games recently. They have seen 140+ points total in 2 of their last 3 games with all 3 of those seeing 139+ points total, and their offense has been on fire in these as they have scored 90+ points themselves in their last 2 straight. This trend has been much stronger on the road as well, seeing 140+ points total in 5 of their 6 road games this year. Their offense has been great on the road as they have scored 75+ points in 4 of their last 5 road games, scoring 69+ points in all 6 of their road games this season, but their defense has been much worse in these as they average 62.7 points allowed per game on the season but have allowed 69+ points in 2 of their last 3 as well as 4 of their 6 road games this year. They are going up against a Dayton team that is 16-7 this season and they are 6-4 in the conference. They have also been heating up recently as they have won 5 of their last 6 games. They have not been playing in many high scoring games recently either, but that trend has been different when they have been at home. They are coming off of a 69-63 win against Davidson in their last game, but prior to that game they had seen 140+ points total in 3 of their last 4 home games, all of those being against conference opponents as well. They average 74.6 points scored per game this season, but that has been better at home in the conference as they have scored 77+ points in 2 of their last 3 as well as 3 of their last 5 games there. They have also allowed 70+ points in 2 of their last 3 as well as 3 of their last 5 games at home though. Dayton has been very accurate with their shooting from the field and from 3 point range this season so they are going to put up points here as they get up for one of the better teams in the conference. VCU has not been as good with their shooting this season, but they also attempt a lot of shots in their games, especially from the 3 as they are 16th in the country for 3 point attempts so they are going to get shots up in this game and drive up the score as they battle it out with a good team in the conference. Between these two sides, there will be enough points in this game to push it over the total.
