Premium Pick

Butler is 5-9 in the conference and 1-6 on the road. The defense is seventh in the 11-team Big East in points surrendered. They're also 10th in turnover margin (-3.92). Butler is on an 11-30 run on the road. Meanwhile, Xavier has a winning Big East record. The offense is second in scoring (77.4 points per game), third in shooting (.472), and second from the charity stripe (.779). The Musketeers have a decent shot of reaching the NCAA Tournament winning four of six after an 85-68 rout of DePaul. Xavier is on a 53-16 straight-up run at home, so back home court to win the game. Play Xavier on the moneyline.
