Save yourselves folks. Do not bet MSU. All the numbers lead to Butler, the "eye test" leads to Butler and the injury/health statuses lead to Butler. The Izzo factor is so much hype. Despite all the final fours how many times did he close the deal? ONCE. So why would he close the deal tonight?
MSU is +13 in points this tournament. They are incredibly lucky to have 4 wins, Butler is +31 while beating Syracuse and Kstate.
Finally, MSU is shooting 40.5% from 3 pt range this tournament. That will not continue. If MSU shoots an average 6-18 tonight they will lose by 10+. They need the 3 to go in at a high rate and that wont be happening against this defense.
Butler is a N.Iowa that can score. Butler 67 MSU 57
