both games during season were lost by 2 points, i expect them to want this more than butler and a su win as well.

this is the biggest game in the lives of the CSU kids. Butler being at home is the reason for the line, but i think that CSU's motivational edge obviates that. Butler's in the dance, but CSU desperately needs this, and plays decent vs Butler. in order, i like game over 119.5 (there will be plenty 2H fouls in game like this), CSU 1H +3/3.5, CSU +6. the reason for the ordering BOL and Go Vikes.
note: i am very leary of any homers offering picks on their teams. i'm obviously a Cleveland State fan, but i rarely if ever back them with money [same with most teams i root for; there are always other options]. today i will b/c of clear motivational edge and experience edge, and numbers say that CSU is close to Butler [within 2-3 points]. Butler biggest edge is 3-point shooting, CSU's is steal margin, TO margin, off boards. If Butler has 3-4+ more 3s than CSU, it'll be trouble, but if CSU keeps that close or even, game should come down to final minutes.

I'm liking Cleve. St. Butler is in the tourney regardless so CSU definitely has more to play for. Six points seems like too much

At this time of the season, I don't really think they play like freshman anymore. Plus Butlers a LOCK for a tournament spot whether they win or lose tonight. There's going to be a whole lot less pressure on the Bulldogs than on Cleveland State.
