    Butler Laying 3 To #5 Xavier On Tuesday

    What do you guys think.

    I like Butler, hoping for the line to come down. Xavier is overrated and can be beat on the road. They should have lost a couple days ago to a weak Georgetown team.

    Not touching this. Xavier inconsistent, Butler not nearly as good this year as they normally are

    Xavier been finding ways to win on the road. +3 a tight line. It’s X or nothing

    Was hoping to see public % all over Xavier but it doesn’t look like it so far

    Might-a been little exaggeration, they have beaten lots of quality teams at home prob more fair statement. Utah, Ohio st, Marquette, nova, rest wernt that good now that I look closer! Lol. But if you go back to last year more of same, only losing to Hall I believe.

    Why in god's name would Butler be favored here, let alone by 5?

    Horrible line.

    It did go to overtime! Think it opened at 2.5 or 3. Money drove it up. Didn't see much wrong w opener, butler historically a very strong home court, Xavier way overrated at 5 imo.
