MATCHUP SUMMARY
The Dayton Flyers have the offensive power to put up some serious numbers Virginia Tech can play good defense but I don’t think they’ll be able to contain the Dayton Flyers in their powerful offense and this matchup. This should be a high scoring game with a lot of shots. Virginia Tech is coming off an impressive and emotional win over Michigan State and could be due for a letdown against this tough Dayton squad.
