Tonight at 7:15, the No.11 Dayton Flyers face the No, 10 Stanford Cardinal in the Sweet 16. It doesn’t matter who wins this game, all we know is that a double-digit team will be playing for a spot in the final four. Before making such an amazing run in the NCAA tournament, actually before making it to the NCAA Tournament, both coaches had their job on the line. But now they jobs are safe, at least for now.

Stanford is not good at defending in transition. They are not a great offensive rebounding team and their priority is not put on second chance points. The Flyers should have an advantage when they get out and run.

Aaron Bright is out for the season, the Cardinal are good at protecting the ball, but Stanford can struggle with turnovers.

The Flyers’ biggest strength is their perimeter shooting ability. They can be turnover prone some times and they don’t have a ton of size inside. When it comes to scoring around the rim they are not that effective.
