Im sure Butler will be a massive public play. These ranked dogs have crashed and burned all season long..
does the trend continue here? La Salle tough at home.
I love Butler +2.5 here. Butler already won as a ranked team at SJU, also a Philadelphia school, and a much better squad if I may add. Despite not having their leading scorer, I was so impressed how they improved in such a short time on their team defense and adjusted by whooping Richmond and upsetting a amazingly talented Gonzaga team.
Also worth noting, when he went down @ Dayton, Butler played stronger for the final 25 minutes of that contest and put Dayton away rather easily. This team is so mentally tough unlike a lot of these other teams with all the talent, but no discipline or mental toughness. I'm betting my max units on Butler and Duke tomorrow. If they lose, then hats off to LaSalle and Miami for playing over their heads.
La Salle really needs a sig. win for the dance.Look for Butler to have a let down after that Gonz. win, also leading scorer Clarke (16.3 ppg) may be out due to neck problems................................ .go Explorers.!!
