Why Butler Will Win

Well that was fun.

Butler knocked out Xavier in the first round of the Big East Tournament with a 70-69 overtime win thanks to a few late free throws from Chuck Harris.

The Bulldogs were fantastic from the line, came up with a huge second half comeback, and were tough defensively when they had to be.

The team doesn’t do anything all that well, but it’s been on one of its hottest shooting streaks of the season over the last few games. It’s moving the ball well, getting the shots on the inside, and it’s been able to shock Villanova and win three of its last four games along the way.

The Bulldogs were beat Creighton in overtime back in mid-January, but …

Why Creighton Will Win

The Bluejays roared in a 93-73 win in a few days ago.

They nailed 12 three pointers, shot 53% from the field, and Butler couldn’t hit enough from the outside to keep up. It’s all about the shooting percentage with this team. Make 48% or more from the floor and everything is fine. That’s asking a lot out of most teams, but Creighton can score in bunches inside and out.

It leads the Big East in threes, field goal defense, three point percentage, and …

What’s Going To Happen

Butler is one of those teams that defy logic and reason. It’s strong enough to come up with something special if everything breaks right and Creighton isn’t on, but it doesn’t have the scoring punch to pull this off unless something magical happens.

Why Butler Will Win

Butler is a funky defensive team that all of a sudden stepped up its play over the last few games. Beating Seton Hall was good, but dropping Villanova by 12 was an eye-opener.

The team doesn’t normally shoot all that well, but it’s been on lately with the ability to get to the basket and overcome the streaky shooting from the outside. More than anything else, though, it’s been great at defending from three – the last three games it held Xavier, Seton Hall and Villanova to 12-of-71 from three.

Stop Creighton from three, stop Creighton. The Bluejays were held to 26% from the outside in the first meeting, and Butler won. However …

Why Creighton Will Win

This is a very, very inconsistent Butler team from the field. It can’t normally do much of anything from the outside, it doesn’t move the ball around all that well, and it doesn’t do enough to own the offensive boards.

When the team is off – and it normally is – hitting under 40% of its shots, (usually) forget it.

Creighton hasn’t been great lately – it got rolled by Villanova a few games ago – but it’s back at home for the first time in a while against a team that’s 1-9 away from Butler.

What’s Going To Happen

Can Creighton overcome the controversy with head coach Greg McDermott now suspended indefinitely?

The team will be fine with a good performance, even with the Butler defense doing what it normally does on the outside. The Bulldog O will fall flat for a few long stretches as Creighton pulls away.
