St. Bonaventure vs Dayton ATS Pick: Dayton -7½
For most of this season, Dayton has looked like the best team in the conference, having won the opening six games as part of a 13-game winning streak. The Flyers have impressed within their conference and on a national level, helping them in college basketball predictions as a ranked team.
However, the most recent loss was a bump in the road. Dayton lost at Richmond, which is now the only undefeated team in the Atlantic 10 at the top of the conference. Dayton was favored by four points in the 69-64 loss.
DaRon Holmes II (@DaRonagon) has been an unstoppable force for Dayton this season.

Against Richmond, Dayton’s leading scorer, DaRon Holmes II, who averages 19.4 points, finished with nine, shooting 2-12 from the field. In the win over George Washington, Holmes returned to form with 25 points, 12 rebounds, and four assists.
The loss to Richmond could have helped Dayton actually get back on track because it came out and dominated George Washington, covering a 12½-point college basketball spread.
St. Bonaventure vs Dayton Over/Under Pick: Under 134½
Overall, Dayton has had a pretty solid offense, of which Holmes has been the main component. No other player on the roster averages over 12 points.
However, the defense has been key to how the Flyers have gotten most of their wins. Against conference opponents, they are allowing just 61.5 points per game, which is the fewest within the Atlantic 10.
St. Bonaventure has also been a solid defensive team, leaning college basketball picks toward the under. The Bonnies are allowing 65.8 points per game this season, the third-fewest in the conference.
Dayton will be able to stifle St. Bonaventure’s offense. Conversely, the Bonnies’ defense should be good enough to slow down the Flyers’ offense outside of Holmes.
St. Bonaventure vs Dayton Player Prop Pick: DaRon Holmes Over 20.5 points (-115)
Dayton’s offense has relied on Holmes this season, and the team lost in the only conference game in which he struggled. He followed that up with a 25-point game, and Dayton had a big win over George Washington. Now facing St. Bonaventure, he should be able to continue his offensive production.
