St. Bonaventure was tied with the second-worst record in the Atlantic-10 at the end of the regular season, but the Bonnies have quietly begun a Cinderella run, taking down both La Salle and George Mason as an underdog.

The Bonnies' next challenge comes on Friday afternoon when they take on the No. 4 seed in the conference, the Dayton Flyers. Do they have a chance to pull off a third straight upset? Let's find out what the oddsmakers think.

St. Bonaventure vs. Dayton Prediction and Pick

There's a reason St. Bonaventure got hot. The Bonnies have been a solid shooting team this season, ranking 118th in effective field goal, which ranks above the Flyers, who come in at 135th in that metric.

These two teams already played in a nail-biter in February, a game in which Dayton barely escaped with a two-point victory. Let's ride the hot team and bet on the Bonnies to keep this game close.
