Arizona vs Dayton Preview & Picks

Arizona are backed to win this second-round matchup by double digits.

The Wildcats have slipped a little recently, but they remain a solid spread pick and have routinely won by double digits in recent months.

  • Arizona are 9-3-0 ATS in their last 12 wins
  • Dayton 3-5-0 ATS in their last 8 games
  • Dayton are 0-7-0 ATS in the defeats this season
  • The Under has cashed in 7 of Arizona’s last 9 games

Head To Head

  • Arizona lead the all-time series 2-1
  • Arizona won 76-59 when the two teams last met in November 2000

Arizona Form

Arizona come into this game having won 12 of their last 15 games, but they have been inconsistent in recent weeks.

The Wildcats enjoyed six-game and four-game win streaks late in the regular season, but failed to wrap up that part of the campaign with a win as they lost 78-65 at USC.

They avenged that loss when the two teams met in the Pac-12 conference tournament, blowing out the Trojans in a 70-49 win.

Arizona failed to follow that up though, as they exited the competition in the next round thanks to a 67-59 defeat to Oregon.

The Wildcats did, however, put that behind them in their first outing of March Madness, beating Long Beach State 85-65.

Dayton Form

Dayton enter this second-round game having won three of their last four, including a first-round upset.

The Flyers enjoyed a successful regular season campaign that saw them go 24-6 and close out with back-to-back wins.

They went out on the road to beat Saint Louis 100-83, before returning home to take down Virginia Commonwealth, 91-86, in overtime.

Dayton’s regular season form did not transfer over to the Atlantic 10 conference tournament though, as they lost 65-57 to Duquesne in the quarter-finals.

That sent the Flyers into the national tournament on a low note, but they avoided a quick exit from March Madness as they beat Nevada 63-60 in round one.

Verdict

Arizona have dropped a couple of games recently, but they are the better team.

They have tended to cover in their wins and Dayton are yet to cover in a loss this season, so give us the Wildcats in this one.
