Providence appears better than its 12-20 mark of last season. Butler, though, also looks improved from last season's 15-20 record with a new-look roster. The Bulldogs are 7-2 SU and ATS this season. They are 5-1 at home. The Friars are just 1-4 on the road and at neutral sites this season. This is just their second true road game. Look for Butler to bounce back from its upset loss to Boise State, 77-68, last Saturday. The Bulldogs were 3-point favorites in that game. The Bulldogs shot just 4-of-18 from 3-point range. That was a rare off-shooting game for Providence from long range, as the Friars rank fourth in the Big East in 3-point shooting accuracy at 35.8%. Providence rates 344th in 3-point defense. Butler can also hurt Providence on the glass. The Bulldogs rank 19th nationally in total rebounding percentage. Take Butler.

Butler vs. Providence
4:00 PM Eastern
The only way for either of these teams to get into the postseason is to win the Big East Tournament. Butler has lost four straight games coming into the Big East Tournament, while the Friars come in having lost five straight. Both of these teams play limited possession games, combining for an average of 112 shots per contest. These teams have played OVER the total in their two meetings this season and now with considerable prep time, the focus in this game is going to be defending. I think this is a winnable game for both teams and should be close, and that favors a lower scoring game. Make the play UNDER the total.
