Florida State men’s basketball vs. Dayton: Preview, how to watch, game thread

Florida State men’s basketball (5-5, 0-0) will try to stop a four-game losing streak tonight, hitting the road to take on the Dayton Flyers (8-3, 0-0).

After an exciting start to the season featuring plenty of points, the growing pains for first-year head coach Luke Loucks and his squad hit a high after an upset loss to UMass on Saturday where the Noles allowed 60 second-half points and were smashed on the interior.
