West Virginia desperately needs this game, and Morgantown is a tough place to play. I really like this Marquette team and think they're dangerous for tournament play, but Jones is going to be a huge matchup problem for them and I think WVU rebounds from the ND embarrassment.
Butler's playing outstanding basketball lately. I'd be careful fading them right now.

Here's some insight to back your Butler pick No Coin
If this game were to occur midseason I would be all over Valp but in this situation the advantage goes to Butler. Valparaiso has already clinched the regular season title and #1 seed to the Horizon tournament. In this tournament the #1 and #2 seeds automatically advance to the semifinals skipping two whole rounds.
I searched further into tiebreaking procedures and found that Butler has the tiebreak against Cleveland State because Cleveland State lost twice to Valp. So with a win against Valp tomorrow they will clinch the #2 seed and skip two whole games. I can't see Valp giving it there all in a game that doesn't mean anything. The public should be all over Valp as well laying only one point at home.

Yeah that would be me. I posted it because someone was wondering how the tie breaker would go down. I quoted alexn so I didnt try and steal it or nothing. Just great info for people. So hopefully it is EXACT.

WVA, line move due to sharps looking to get +money on both sides (ML) as the public will back Marquette later on. Must win for WVA here.

West Virginia has has several of these "must-win" situations at home in the past 2 or 3 weeks and they simply don't show up. They're just not a very good team from what I've seen...

Ranked road teams didn't do very well last night, I think DUKE is the only ranked road team that won & covered.
I might be missing some others but, I think when you are ranked in the top ten, even if you are highly ranked in your conference most teams dont lay down during judgment week.
These are kids play in front of thousands of scouts, not millionaires, who can choose when to bring it & when to ride the pine.
Marquette showes up tonight huge.
They know if The Orange lose tomorrow night this is gonna be a HUGE win for them.
I love Huggy, probably my most respected coach in the NCAA but, he just doesnt have the kids this year.
IMO!
Good luck with your WVU bets, I'm all over The Eagles

I love Marquette. I think they're a very dangerous tournament team.
Just think they come up short in this spot. Will be interesting to see Jones vs. Crowder and how that develops.

West Virginia is unbettable. Period.
See how dumb that sounds?

Did Arizona State cash for you? Or was it USC? One of the two -- either way, neither covered. They are horrific teams. WVU isn't.

Right because horrific teams never cover.
It was Arizona St. And it was a push.

And I used WVU in my post as filler. You can insert any team in there and it's a dumb statement.
I'd actually go WVU tonight too over Marquette if I played it.

I bet horrific teams all the time.
Arizona State and USC aren't even blips on my radar anymore because they're so bad.

Since you think I'm such good fade material with my leans, I thought it meant you'd be fading all of my suggested plays.

You didn't make the play so obviously you talked yourself out of it. Why would I fade a play you faded yourself out of? Then I'd be fading you fading you.

Because you said my lean threads are valuable fade material.
