The Butler Bulldogs shocked the college basketball world by making an appearance in the National Championship game in two straight years. They had heavy losses to replace this season. It took a while for the offense to get going, but after scoring in the 50s in eight of their first 15 games, the Bulldogs are coming together. Butler has increased their scoring output in five straight games and the 50s have disappeared. They should challenge to do so again tonight vs. an Illinois Chicago team that has allowed 70+ in nine of their last 14 games. The Flames have played to the OVER as a dog in 11 of their last 15. Play this one OVER the total.
