Dayton was one of last season's tourney darlings, yet they'll have to play an extra game in this year's field. Luckily for them, the game will be taking place in their own arena. Still, Flyers coach Archie Miller said the home court won't make the Broncos any easier to beat.
"When we're playing a home game, we have about as good of a home-court advantage as anyone does in college basketball," Miller said. "But I'll also tell you that anyone who is billing this as a home game or a walk-through, I just think they're really underappreciating how good Boise State is.
"If we were playing a regular-season game at home versus Boise State, you'd be sick to your stomach because you know what you're in for."
Dayton brings a Top 50 defense in the nation into this battle. They surrender just 60.9 points per game and hold opponents to 42 percent shooting from the field.
The Broncos defense was slightly better in points per game though, and they'll bring six seniors into this play-in game, so the road environment shouldn't faze them too much.
