Middle Tennessee State -2.5
Butler -1
I see value here in an MTSU team that's just plain better overall than the Gophers on their home court. Minnesota has been hot lately without question, but I've watched both of these squads play quite a bit and there's only the "big name" angle with Minnesota. Only concern I have is a hangover effect from beating the big, bad in-state rival on the road, then returning home to get the job done.
Butler may not have the talent that Pitt has, but they're more well coached, disciplined, they know what it takes to win in the postseason and they're on their home court. Again, Pitt is the "name" and not much else. They're still an underachieving outfit.
I'll probably go 2U each on these plays.
Good luck to everyone today!
