    Milwaukee +3 vs Butler

    I like Milwaukee in a teaser or at +3. The Panthers have beaten Butler twice this season by 14 at home and 6 at Butler. They are also playing in front of their home crowd, which always helps. What's everyone thinking on this game?

    History and the trend card since they lost to Milwaukee twice already traditionally the 3rd time is a charm

    It's probably because it's the tourney final and Butler has more experience.

    There are more than enough Wisc. Milw. type teams from conferences nobody ever heard of in the dance already. Ya I know they beat Butler twice, but anyone who follows this game knows that Butler is a decent team and more capable of providing a tough matchup for a major conf. team. If Butler feels that it needs this game to get in, they win and cover this game.

    Statistically speaking, the line is correct based on this season only.

    Butler is an overrated basketball team, they are living off the name they made for themselves last season. This is why they are favored, even though they lost both games this season vs. UWM. I am going with UWM +3.5 tonight, they might lose this 3rd game but it wont be by more than 3 pts.

    Looking forward to this one as a neutral fan, but backing Milwaukee for a small fun play. Should be a good game.

    Bulter has more quality wins out of conference. Thay have also beat Cleveland State twice, who is 1st in the hoizon. Milwaukee went 1-1 against Cleveland State. Looks like a coin toss to me. I would have to lean slightly with Butler. GL

    Double revenge game for Butler. Trust me it is added into the line, when oddsmakers make them.

    Dont bet this game. Why do people have to bet game they are uncertain of?

    Be a pro about it.

    The last time Butler lost to the same team 3 times in the same season was 2003!
    Look at the Charleston/Wofford game last night, Charleston owned them, beat them 2 times already and they were playing on their home court too... what happened - Wofford won - down by 7 at the half they came back and won!

    Coach of COC said that two of their losses prior to the conference tournament was because Simmons was out. He was out for the Wofford game also and he was a huge difference if he had played. He was a senior big who played 30 minutes a game and was missed. And Wofford got back a key player from injury.

    There will be no missing key players from UWM tonight so they should have a shot of winning the third time tonight.

    I knew the 3rd time would be the kiss of death betting on Old Mildewy Milwaukee.

    Can someone who is watching the game tell me why Milwaukee is sucking so bad tonight. Are they wearing cement shoes.

    Milwaukee playing scared I think. Hesitating on offense. missing layups. Shooting shaky from the floor. If they can calm down I think they can climb back in this. If not though...

    Sounds like they are scared because they are playing on espn. I have never seen Milwaukee play on espn yet.
