This matchup features the Butler Bulldogs out of the Big East and the Florida Gators out of the SEC.
This will actually be the second meeting between these two teams this season. The first game came on a neutral floor around Thanksgiving and resulted in a Butler win.
Butler Bulldogs
Butler has overall been very solid this season. They are of course very close to the start of conference play, so another win over a SEC team will likely help their tournament chances come March.
Despite having 9 wins, the Bulldogs have only managed to average 74.8 points per game. This could become worrisome once conference play starts, so they will need to focus on scoring the ball more effectively. For a team that shoots 46.9% from the field, they should be able to score more than they do.

The Butler defense has been top 35 in the country in terms of points allowed. Opponents are averaging only 63.5 points per game. Expect them to use their stingy defense to shut down a lackluster Florida offense.
Florida Gators
The Gators have not had the best start to their season, sitting only 3 games above .500. Having already lost to Butler this season, they will need to avoid dropping another to the Bulldogs so they can at least begin conference play on a win streak.
Florida’s offense has been overall below average. They only average 70.5 points per game. In their first meeting with the Bulldogs, they only scored 54 which is part of the reason they lost. Look for the Gators to focus on protecting the ball and to get easy baskets on the break.

The gators defense is actually solid considering they allow only 61.5 points per game. Opponents are shooting 39.9% from the field and 30.5% from the three point line. The Gators defense will keep them in the game, but it will be up to their offense to actually score enough points to put them in a position to win.
