It seems like the Butler name is fresh in everyone's mind, but this team did not go to the dance a year ago. This current team is not the same standard as the Final Four teams from a few years back. They remain well coached, but face a team with more experience and similar discipline. Bucknell will also have the best player on the court in Mike Muscala. Muscala generates 9.2 ppg and dominates the boards at 11.2 per contest. He is also a very good passer with 77 assists. This is a 28-5 team that beat Purdue, New Mexico State,and LaSalle, and lost to Missouri by just 2. The Bison commit just 9.3 turnovers per game and will not be out-disciplined by Butler. They have the talent, experience, and the go-to player to get it done. Play Bucknell on the moneyline.
