Two weeks ago this had the potential to be a barnburner. But since beating Providence in double O/T the (1-5) Bulldogs have fallen off of a Big East cliff.

The only fear for the Pirates is a 12:00 letdown coming off the excruciating loss to UConn.

I'll play it safer than I should.

Butler: Good offense, weak defense.
Seton Hall weak offense, elite defense.

We dont seem to have much of a homecourt advantage because the team has not played much at the Rock.

Our defense is ranked 6th in the nation in points allowed with 63.1. And we're second in the nation in combined blocks + steals (15.8 per game). We held Providence to 67 points, UConn to 69 and Creighton to 54. Butler gives up 76.2 ppg and is tied for second in turnovers per game in the BE (12.4). And we're home.

Butler does not match up well with us.
They have a couple good guards to watch out for.
Think we look better on offense as well

Until The Hall proves otherwise that they can put up points, the outcomes will be close. The defense has to win it for them right now. If the offense clicks, they may win this comfortably. They just need any player to put up 15+ points on a consistent basis moving forward.
