Butler at Saint Louis

The Butler Bulldogs bring their 17-3 record and top 10 ranking to St. Louis tonight. The Billikens are 14-5 on the season, and own an 11-2 mark on home hardwood. St. Louis is the consummate slow-tempo team that plays sticky defense, and has already limited six opponents to less than 50 points, with five others not getting out of the 50s. One of those teams is high-caliber New Mexico who came in here and was limited to a season low 46 points. The Billikens have been at their defensive best following a win as they have rattled off five straight UNDERs following a win. Butler knows how to play in a half-court, physical battle, and should respond with a strong defensive effort of their own. Take the UNDER.
