Butler +2 -108
Xavier is 2-6 in last 8 games. They are struggling to find wins. Their two wins were vs very poor opponents (Georgetown and Depaul). Butler is 3-5 over their last 6 but their last win was vs this Xavier team.
These teams are very evenly matched statistically with Butler holding the slight edge on offense and Xavier on defense. This one will be a close game IMO but Butler should win and with the +2, I'm on it.
One more item: Road eFG% is a telling factor in tournament games since they are on neutral courts.
Butler: 51.5%
Xavier: 46.8%
5% difference is a big margin.
