Providence at Butler

This looks like a pretty even matchup with both teams entering at 11-4. Providence has been an electric team offensively in the past, but they have been pacing games a bit more and digging in defensively, having scored in the 60s or less in eight games, while limiting opponents 12 times to the 60s or less. Butler is a half-court team as usual, and has allowed just one team all season to reach the 70-point mark, and has held 10 teams to the 50s or less. They held a high-octane North Carolina team to 66 points in an impressive win. Big East games are won and lost on the defensive end, and both of these teams have shown the desire to dig in on the defensive end of the floor. Butler is also 6-1 to the UNDER in their last seven vs. the Big East. Play the UNDER.
