Butler at Youngstown State

I’m not sure too many would have ever thought that at this stage of the season, Horizon Conference bottom-dweller Youngstown State would come into this game with a better record than Butler, but it is the case. Youngstown State has had a very good season thus far, and is unlike most Horizon teams that simply move at a snail’s pace. The Penguins have posted three straight OVERs while averaging over 73 points per game, and all of that was accomplished on the road. Butler, who spent the majority of their first 15 games in the 50s or less, has found some offense as they develop and has been in the 60s in eight of their last 10. They have cashed the OVER in five of their last seven road games. Youngstown State is finally rolling with an offense that is 19-8 to the OVER in their last 27. The play is on the OVER in this one.
