Cincinnati Basketball: Bearcats open as 4.5-point favorites over Dayton
By Charles Post
According to FanDuel Sportsbook, the Cincinnati Bearcats opened as slight favorites against the Dayton Flyers prior to the matchup on Saturday!
Cincinnati is expected to secure a victory but it should be a competitive game as the in-state foes square off for the first time since 2010.
In addition to avoiding a slow start, it will be key for Wes Miller's team to find a rhythm from the perimeter and slow down Dayton's firepower.
The Bearcats are 4.5-point favorites over Dayton with the over/under currently projected at 138.5 total points according to FanDuel Sportsbook.
