Butler vs. Notre Dame

The Notre Dame Fighting irish are a very athletic team, and solid on all fronts. They have a 30-5 record in a conference that has some very strong teams, and went on to win the ACC Conference Tournament. Four of their five losses were by 6 points or less, so they have been down the wire in their losses in all but one game this season. Butler comes in with a 23-10 mark on the season, and has a losing record against teams in the NCAA Tournament, and appear to be overmatched in this one. While the Bulldogs may make a game of this, the irish has a closer in Grant that will be decisive if things should get sticky down the stretch. Take Notre Dame to win this one straight-up.
