He scored just eight points in the first game against Dayton, his season-low. He has to have a better performance in the rematch if George Washington wants to win.
Dayton vs. George Washington Prediction and Pick
These two teams may have very different records, but George Washington clears Dayton in several statistics. For starters, the Revolutionaries rank 34th in effective field goal percentage at 55.4%, including a 59.1% on their home court. By comparison, Dayton ranks 148th in that metric at 52%, including a 49.7% when playing on the road.
Not only that, but George Washington has a stylistic advantage as well. 46.7% of the Revolutionaries' shots come from three-point range, which ranks 36th in the country. Now, they get to face a Dayton team that has done a terrible job of defending the perimeter this season, allowing teams to shoot 36.1% from three-point range.
George Washington is going to get the ball to drop from three-point range on their way to winning and covering the spread.
Pick: George Washington -3.5 (-110)
