The Butler Bulldogs spent the last two years in the national spotlight, taking it all the way to the Finals. This year they lost their best two players, guts and experience, and it has been a struggle on their way to a 7-7 mark for the season. This is a reputation line, facing a team that is going to be a big factor in the Horizon in Wisconsin Milwaukee. The Panthers have four losses all to top level teams in Wisconsin, Michigan State, Marquette and Northern Iowa. This team defends as well as any, and Butler is going to struggle here – especially on offense. Butler does not have a single double-digit scorer, and their top three scorers all shoot less than 60% from the free-throw line. Butler is just 2-9-1 ATS in their last 12, while the Panthers are 9-2 ATS in league play over their last 11. Play on Wisconsin Milwaukee.
