Today’s best bet: DAYTON (PK) over George Mason

The Patriots have been playing out of their minds for more than a month and have seven consecutive convincing victories to show for their efforts. A closer examination at the stretch of victories reveals a putrid schedule with only one even mediocre win along the way. Dayton hasn’t exactly played heavyweights, but Chris Wright and the home court should be enough here.
