Senior forward Chris Wright surpassed the 1,500-point mark in his home finale, and outside of that there's nothing positive to take out of Dayton's performance. The Flyers shot 33.3% as a team while Saint Louis made 53.1% of their shots to coast to a 69-51 victory. Mike McCall led the Billikens (12-17, 6-9) with 17 points and the bench added 31 points in the most impressive win of the season for Rick Majerus' team. Outside of Wright Dayton (19-11, 7-8) made just nine of thirty-four shots for the game, and at this rate one has to question if they're worthy of getting an opportunity to defend their Postseason NIT title despite a record that would likely get them into the 32-team field.

Saint Louis outscored Dayton 30-3 from beyond the arc, more than making up for 20 turnovers that resulted in 18 points off turnovers for Dayton. But the Flyers were loose with the basketball as well, turning the ball over sixteen times to just eight assists. Wright scored the first two points of the game on a jumper at the 19:19 mark, but that 2-0 lead would be their largest of the game. A second hoop from the senior following a Kyle Cassity three pointer would give Dayton their final lead of the game at 4-3. Saint Louis went on a 9-0 run over the next four minutes with reserves Rob Loe and Christian Salecich providing seven of the points. Dayton pulled to within five but a quick Billiken response pushed the lead out to 20-9 with 11:12 left in the half.
