This Big East match-up will see the Butler Bulldogs take on the Providence Friars. Both teams are undefeated in Big East games so far this season.
The Friars have dominated Butler in recent years, winning their last three meetings in a row. They also have won eight of the last ten meetings.
Butler Bulldogs
The Bulldogs have been one of the best teams in the country this season. They come into this game as the 6th ranked team. Their only loss was to the now 4th ranked Baylor Bears. Granted this game was almost exactly a month ago and they lost by one point.
Butler’s offense is still well below average this season in scoring. They average 68.7 points per game. This gives them the 245th ranked scoring offense in the country. They are extremely sold at shooting the ball, hitting 47.4% from the field.
Kamar Baldwin leads this team in points, averaging 14.7 per game. In their last game against Creighton, Baldwin was held scoreless in the first half, but dropped 20 in the second half to help Butler pull away.

Defense is where the Bulldogs have had the most success. They allow just 54.1 points per game. This ranks as the 4th best scoring defense in the country. They hold teams to 37.2% shooting from the field and have a top 10 three-point defense, allowing 26.4%.
Providence Friars
The Friars did not have the best non-conference, going just 7-6. They have started to turn things around however, winning their first three Big East games.
Offensively, the Friars have scored an average of 73 points per game. In Big East games, this average has increased ever so slightly to 74.3. One problem is they shoot just 41.7% from the field and 33.7% from the three-point line. Since the start of Big East play, their shooting has increased to 44.4% from the field and 37.9% from deep range.
Another thing to keep in mind is the Friars are so much better at scoring in their home games. In eight home games, Providence has scored an average of 80.8 points per game.
As for defense, the Friars are allowing 66.1 points per game. In three Big East games, they have allowed 68.3 points per game.
However, in home games they are allowing just 59.6 points per game on average. Despite having great defense at home, the only way the Friars can pull the upset is if they manage to slow down Baldwin.
CBB Betting Trends:
- Over is 6-2 in PROV last 8 vs. Big East.
- Over is 7-3-1 in PROV last 11 Fri. games.

Free Butler Bulldogs vs. Providence Friars NCAAB Prediction:
Even though on the road, I really like the one two punch of Kamar Baldwin and Sean McDermott from Butler. They could easily be undefeated and I believe they will win this game.
Although both teams are pretty solid defensively, the over has cashed in their last three head to head meetings. This total is extremely low and therefore, I like the over to be the play.
