Home court is key to this quarterfinal contest. Not only can Dayton keep its offense rolling – shooting 52% on the road in the first two games – but it can cool Illinois State’s shooting. The Redhawks have knocked down 23 3-pointers in their first two NIT tilts but do see their success from deep drop on the road (32.7%). If Illinois State can’t consistently make those looks, long rebounds fuel the Flyers’ transition attack. A bigger Dayton team will clean the glass and put ISU on its heels. The Redbirds struggle to slow transition offense and 315th at protecting the rim.
