Dayton is 9-2 Against The Spread as an underdog this season. They are 7-1 ATS in all tournament play this season. In March games they are 12-4 ATS over the past three seasons.
This will be the third time in the last 10 years that an 11 will play a 1 in the Elite 8 -- and the 11 seeds are 2-0 in the previous games... Dayton hopes to join VCU and George Mason, who each won as 11 seeds.
In Elite 8 history, the 1 seed has played the 2 seed 45 times, and the 2 seeds are 23-22 in those games... the difference in points scored per game is less than 1.
Defense likely will be the key. Florida ranks third nationally in scoring defense, allowing 57.8 points a game. The Gators haven't allowed more than 68 points in a game over the past 10 games. Dayton is pretty stingy too, allowing only two opponents to top 70 or more in its past seven games.
