The Butler Bulldogs are playing good basketball and have to be a confident club entering this big game at home. However, the Seton Hall Pirates are comfortably the more talented team, and I don’t expect this brief losing streak to continue. Seton Hall is a really talented team, and it’s only a matter of time before things start to click again. I need more to consider Butler here. I’ll lay the bucket with the Pirates.
