Game day and all.

If possible, Butler is reeling more than us, I think that gives us a leg up plus we generally play an opponent better the second time around this season (feeling, zero evidence to prove this). Given the game is at home, I think we win another shoot out, 87-75

If they slash to the basket every possession we lose 300-75.

Because the refs will call a damn foul every time.

They've lost two in a row and have had a full week to stew/game plan.  This is going to be a nail biter....85-82 good guys.  Katin for SOTG

I hope that the guys remember they have something to prove to this team.  Butler learned some things from the last outing as well.

Butler is currently in a bit of shooting slump from deep, so I expect them to attack the basket on every possession.    Will MU be able to put up even token defense?     Will MU's shooting carry the day?

Butler is going to be hungry coming off 2 straight losses.  They haven't played in a week.

Hopefully the BC is rocking and Butler is rusty and MU jumps out to an early double digit lead. 

I don't want to call this a must win, but 3-3 to close the season at 10-8 sounds much better than 4-2. 
I would take the Rick SLU program right now.

I think we shoot slightly better than you are estimating.

90-75

We got this.

Hoping the crowd brings it and the student section has some good energy!

If we can get on a run in the second half, we can close it out 80-75.
But we need that second half run.

Its gonna be close. Hopefully MU with a win. Butler coming off 2 losses doesn't help, they are gonna be itching for a W. Can MU send it to 3 straight?

Another factor is getting back on defense.  Butler simply beat MU up court on virtually every possession in that 2nd half.  Hard to get set on defense that way.

$2 beers for an hour before the game should help create a raucous home crowd environment. I predict it's back and forth the whole way, MU winning 83-80.

Butler is a completely different team on the road..and for some reason i smell MU's best defensive performance of the year(in BE play) coming. FT's down the stretch seal it for MU 80-71

Butler is going to crush us.  A week off vs MU playing two games since then.  They are rested. Plus Butler won't be taking us lightly given the first half we played against them last time.  Then factor in back to back losses making Butler extra focused.  Yeah, not feeling good about tonight.

But after the Scoop meltdown, MU bests GTown Saturday to start a 4 game winning streak.

Butler's three pointing shooting in conference play has been abysmal. Only Depaul has been worse. I don't like zone but will have to be prepared to break it out if they are driving to the hoop at will.

Key to the game might be stopping Kethan Savage. He has scored double digits in every Big East game but three this season. Butler is 0-3 in those games. He torched us for 17.

Make them shoot, put down the Savage, win. MU 87-BU 84
