Thats the only way I could play this game, but I'm passing on it myself AC.

Disagree STONGLY here guys. I see Wright State winning handily as this is a true home game for them, where they are undefeated in conference including an easy win over Butler. Also Wright locks up an NCAA bid with a win while the Butler is already in.

Here's what I posted at another forum last night.

Here's the problem I have with taking Wright State tomorrow. A month ago, I was telling anyone that would listen that Wright State was better than 50/50 to beat Butler outright. Yet, it seemed everyone in the world was on Butler (Sports Insights had the percentages something like 87-13), and there were some posts on this very forum where people claimed Butler should be a 10-point favorite. Now, granted, most of that was foolish talk. But here's the thing - now the line is half what it was before, and the public is switching to about 50/50 on the side of this game, even though Butler will bring a much more focused effort this time, they have already played in this building once this season (a big advantage), and they will have many more fans at the game this time around. The value is, if not gone, certainly diminished.

I'm not recommending a play on Butler, by any means. Wright State is the play. I have them a 1.5 point favorite in this game. But, my opinion is almost that if you didn't bet on Wright State against Butler in the first meeting - when there was incredible value - you're chasing a missed opportunity by playing it this time.

That's solid analysis there, Razz. I'm not sold on either side (was leaning Butler) but am thinking this may be a stay-away game for me.

Nice post Razz....pretty much sums it up. I took the day off today.

I Left This Game Alone
It Seems Wright St Has A History Of Beating Butlers Ass

I didn't catch that NEP, but I sure wish I did.

That's why you never see these B announcers do the bigger tournaments.
