Kudos to the Butler Bulldogs who made it all the way to the NCAA Tournament Finals the last two years. Despite heavy losses to key players, they find themselves looking for win No. 20 tonight vs. Wisconsin, Milwaukee. It will be a tough task tonight vs. the Panthers who have a lot of momentum, winning five straight and have recorded win No. 20 win vs. Illinois, Chicago to get here. The Panthers have been solid on the defensive end of the floor for much of the season, but it was a stagnant offense that was holding them down. Wisconsin, Milwaukee managed 68 points or more in just five of their first 27 games. That has changed dramatically as they have found their offensive groove in their last five games, scoring 67 or more in all of them, averaging of over 74 points per contest. That should be the difference in this one, as the Panthers suddenly have more answers on the offensive end. The Bulldogs are just 4-13-1 ATS in their last 18 after a win, while the Panthers at 8-3 ATS in their last 11 as a dog. Butler is now 15-6 to the OVER as a neutral-site chalk, and the Panthers 5-2 to the OVER as a-neutral site dog. Play on Wisconsin, Milwaukee and the OVER.

Wisconsin Milwaukee at Butler
2:00 PM Eastern
The Butler Bulldogs spent the last two years in the national spotlight, taking it all the way to the Finals. This year they lost their best two players, guts and experience, and it has been a struggle on their way to a 7-7 mark for the season. This is a reputation line, facing a team that is going to be a big factor in the Horizon in Wisconsin Milwaukee. The Panthers have four losses all to top level teams in Wisconsin, Michigan State, Marquette and Northern Iowa. This team defends as well as any, and Butler is going to struggle here – especially on offense. Butler does not have a single double-digit scorer, and their top three scorers all shoot less than 60% from the free-throw line. Butler is just 2-9-1 ATS in their last 12, while the Panthers are 9-2 ATS in league play over their last 11. Play on Wisconsin Milwaukee.
