Butler Bulldogs vs Wisconsin Green Bay Phoenix Point Spread Picks

This is likely a defining game for a rebuilt Butler team that has had a presence at the Final Four the last two years. They stand at 12-10 on the season and 6-4 in conference play, 1.5 games away from the top. They simply need a win here and have the coach and developing talent to get it done. At 8-12, and just 6-12 vs. Division-1 competition Green Bay is not their equal here, and the Phoenix appear to be regressing and losing confidence, having gone just 2-6 in their last eight games. The Bulldogs are off a disheartening offensive showing with less than 50 points in their last game, and have risen in the past to go 4-0 ATS in their last four after scoring under the 50-point mark. Butler rises to the occasion in this one.

It has become very apparent that this Butler team which made it to the Finals each of the past two years is not the same without Heyward or Mack. A lot of experience and talent were lost. Wisconsin Green Bay is 6-6 has regrouped and improving in winning four of their last six. The Phoenix have gotten the money to the tune of a 35-17-6 ATS mark facing a team with a losing record in their last 58 while Butler is feeling their oats at just 2-8-1 ATS in their last 11. Play on Wisconsin Green Bay.
