One category Butler has on us is our one weak spot, 3 point shooting. We pretty much dominate in every other key category. Will Butler drain enough threes to keep it close? Which UConn defense will show up? As a team they shoot it at a % that we give up, 39.5%.

Their top 4 minutes guys are shooting 43%, 38%, 47% and 44.5%. It’s their one angle.

After getting roasted by Xavier from 3 I think the huskies dial in on this and win. Spread is 7.5.

They play small so we can likely feed it into the bigs all night. Telford will be the key matchup, and will be curious as to who plays him. I’d think Liam but we don’t need him in foul trouble. They’re a funky matchup as their 3 top shooters are between 6’6” and 6’9”.  I’d imagine AK plays Mcaffrey. I can see Ross getting more run in this one, especially if they catch fire. Scoring won’t be the challenge, defending the 3 will.

A BE game on the road is never easy, so I expect a win and Butler covers.
