NJIT prefers a slow pace while focusing on defense, allowing 42.93% shooting. They come off a 70-64 win over New Haven as an underdog and a 65-49 loss to Sacred Heart. They're on an 8-5 ATS run, including covering against Cincinnati as a +34.5 dog and a 66-64 upset of Loyola-Maryland as a double-digit dog. Butler can play any style, off a 61-58 win over Northwestern, failing to cover. They shoot just 67.5% from the free-throw line, and are on a 0-5 ATS run. Play NJIT.
