Streak for the Cash: March 13th

Who will win: Dayton Flyers or Iowa Hawkeyes
This first round NIT game should be an interesting one.  The Iowa Hawkeyes barely got into the tournament (7-seed), while Dayton was a lock for the NIT.  Bad news for the Flyers, they have to play this game in Iowa City because their arena is hosting the first round of the NCAA Tournament.  I live in Iowa and there has been unlike most teams, the Hawkeyes are thrilled to be in this game.  I would expect a sellout in Iowa City tonight.  Dayton went 9-7 in the A-10, while Iowa was 8-10 in the best conference this year, the Big 10.  The line for this game is 3.5 in favor of Iowa.  The Hawkeyes are ecstatic that they are playing in the NIT.  On the other hand, Dayton may be down that they are in this game after blowing a big lead to Xavier in the A-10 Tournament.  Dayton may be the better team, but I think the Hawks will win this one, simply because they want it more. Pick: Iowa Hawkeyes (Confidence: 3.5/5)
