The SMU Mustangs and the Dayton Flyers meet in college basketball action from the UD Arena on Friday night.

The SMU Mustangs come into this one looking to build on their 77-60 win over Texas A&M Commerce in their season opener. Zhuric Phelps led the Mustangs with 28 points on 11 of 17 shooting with 3 assists while Zach Nutall added 12 points and Samuell Williamson added 11 points on 5 of 7 shooting while matching his 11 rebounds for the double-double. Efe Odigie added 10 rebounds as well in the win for the Mustangs.

The Dayton Flyers will hope to build on their 73-46 win over Lindenwood in their last game. Mustapha Amzil led the way with 14 points off of the bench along with 5 rebounds while RJ Blakney and Daron Holmes II added 13 points apiece. Mike Sharavjamts and Kobe Elvis each had 10 points with a team-high 5 assists to make up the scoring in double figures in the win for Dayton while Toumani Camara had a team-high 11 rebounds in the victory.

SMU is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games overall and 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games against a team with a winning record while the over is 4-0 in their last 4 Friday games. Dayton is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games against a team with a winning record and 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games after allowing 50 points or less in the previous game while the over is 6-1 in their last 7 home games.

I get the case to be made for either side here, but I’m leaning towards Dayton. This is a Dayton team that’s been given a top-25 ranking with only one game under their belts so far, but that just goes to how highly a lot of folks think of the potential that this Dayton team has. If they execute, this could be a similar Dayton team to the ones that have been dominant over the last few seasons. I think the Flyers win this game rather comfortably, so I’ll lay the points with Dayton here.
