This is a 10* NON-CONF TOY on the UNDER Dayton/UNC.

These two teams have played to several higher-scoring games of late, but, the overall situation that each finds itself in coming into this one, combined with the numbers/trends all point to more of a defensive battle here finally on Monday in my opinion.

Dayton is 5-0 and UNC is 3-1.

The Flyers have seen the total go OVER in four of five, but it went UNDER in their most recent 74-53 win over New Mexico State. Look for Dayton to carry over that defensive momentum here.

All four of the Tar Heels games have flown OVER the number, but despite their most recent 87-69 win at Hawaii last time out, note that looking back UNC has in fact seen the total still go UNDER the number in eight of its last 12 after playing to three or more straight OVERs in a row.

While the rest of the World is quick to back another high-scoring affair, we're going full on contrarian with this one gentlemen.

This O/U line is a bit high, the play is the UNDER.

Good luck, NP
