Dayton +6.5 4.4* NCAAB POD
Dayton has been waiting for this match up for years. Getting to face Ohio State is something special for Dayton because of how close these teams are from each other. I also think it comes at the right time, because Ohio State is not a dominant team that's going to blow a team off the court. They lack any type of star player that can dominate on both ends and Dayton has just enough that could allow them to win this game. Aaron Craft has been a very nice player, but in the tournament I just don't see him taking over. Ohio State is ranked 123rd offensive in the adjusted rankings and they have placed and adjusted 50th ranked defense compared to Dayton ranked 32nd offensively facing 81st adjusted ranked defense.

Dayton has a balanced offense that relies on many players to score so it will be harder for Ohio State to completely shut this team out. Also Dayton tends to lean on their two point offense more than the three and Ohio State is less dominant defending the paint ranking 69th in the nation in 2 point defense. It's also worth noting that Ohio State for a solid defensive team is ranked 197th in rebounding. Ohio State is just not that good of a team and I think the motivation is right on Dayton's side to come up with a big upset that they will be talking about at Dayton for years to come.
