The Coach's NCAA Opening Round ANNIHILATOR! (Weds)
(NCAAB) Boise State vs. Dayton,
Point Spread: -4.00 | -104.00 Dayton (Home)
Result: Loss
You don't often see a team play at home in the NCAA Tournament, in fact when Dayton plays at home against Boise State tonight, it will be the first time we've seen a team play at home in the tournament in 28 years. The Flyers finished second in the A-10 Conference, and lost a close game to VCU in the A-10 Final. Boisie State had won seven in a row before losing in overtime to Wyoming on Friday.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Home Cookin' - Dayton owns a perfect 16-0 home record, and it has won 21 straight home games going back to last season. "When we're playing a home game, we have about as good of a home-court advantage as anyone does in college basketball," coach Archie Miller said.

2. Derrick Marks - The Broncos senior guard was the Mountain West Player of the Year, but he didn't look like it in the loss to the Cowboys, shooting just 6-of-21 (28.6%) from the field in that game.

3. X-Factor - Boise State has lost all six of it's previous NCAA Tournament games, while Dayton is 4-0 ATS in it's last four.

Selection: This is a play on the Dayton Flyers (8*)
