Butler at Valparaiso

Coach Stevens’ Butler teams have amazingly been to the NCAA Finals each of the last two years, but took some heavy losses this season. He has the Bulldogs back in the hunt for the Horizon Championship, as they have surged to victory in their last five games. The offense lost way too much to be powerful, but the defense has really been the saving grace and that has really grown in recent games. Butler has allowed an average of just 52.6 points per game and that has always been his calling card as a coach. Valparaiso sits atop the Horizon and this very well could be a prelude to the Championship game. The Crusaders are having some issues on the offensive end after scoring less than 60 just four times in their first 22 games they have equaled that amount in just their last eight. Butler is UNDER in 11 of their last 15 overall, keeping this one low-scoring. Play on the UNDER.
