There is a class difference here that exceeds this short point spread. Butler is strong on both sides of the ball. Finley Bizjack is emerging as a star player for Butler, shooting a Big East-best 45.6% from 3-point range. Boise State ranks 298th in 3-point defense. The 7-1 Bulldogs are not only are more talented than the 5-3 Broncos, but have the superior bench, are at home and riding a four-game winning. Boise State could be showing some rust. The Broncos last competed on Nov. 26 when they beat Chaminade, 102-76, in the Maui Invitational. The Bulldogs average 11.5 points more per game than Boise State. Take Butler.
