NIT Championship 2010: North Carolina vs. Dayton

The NIT Championship 2010 is now set with North Carolina and Dayton advancing to the Championship game. The game will take place on Thursday April 1st just 2 days before the NCAA Final Four tips off. The scheduled start time for the NIT Championship game is 7:00 pm ET. The Oddsmakers currently have Dayton favored by 1.5 points against the Tar Heels.Offensively both North Carolina and Dayton match-up pretty evenly in this 2010 NIT Championship game. The Tar Heels are averaging 74.7 points per game this season while Dayton is averaging 70 ppg. The posted total for the North Carolina-Dayton game has opened at 136.5 points.  The Dayton Flyers have covered the spread in 4 straight games coming into the NIT Championship 2010 but the Tar Heels are 4-1 against the spread in their last 5 games against an Atlantic 10 opponent. I look for Dayton to come away with the victory Thursday night at Madison Square Garden.
