What a low total for a matchup where the last meeting ended 71-79 in a loss for Villanova on the road. Butler has 'given up the ghost' on the road in reference to how many points they are allowing home teams to put up on them (allowing an average of 75.6 points in the last 5 road games) so they will need to dig deep offensively to keep up with this Villanova team that has been efficient shooters on homecourt averaging 74 points in the last 4 home games. The side bet will be on Butler to cover the large spread, because of how bad the Wildcats have been against the spread and also this is a team that's already beat them and will try to do so again.

Official Play: Butler +10.50
