Butler Bulldogs vs UConn Huskies prediction
The UConn Huskies are obviously the better team, and they already beat Butler on the road last month, so I understand the line being what it is. However, let’s not act like Butler hasn’t put together a solid two weeks, and they did just beat Creighton on the road as 10 point underdogs. The Butler Bulldogs are one of the best offenses in the country, and they can be dangerous if those shots are falling. Lot of points here and no respect for Butler. I’ll grab the points.
