The Butler Bulldogs were certainly playing better heading into their matchup with the Marquette Golden Eagles, the Big East’s top-seeded squad. However, they fell by ten points in this matchup as the Golden Eagles pulled away after a lackluster first half en route to the victory.
The Providence Friars have only won two of their last eight games, overall. They were also victims of Marquette in their last outing as the Golden Eagles controlled the pace of the game throughout while shooting a tad under 55% from the floor.

Free Providence Friars vs. Butler Bulldogs NCAAB Prediction:
Both teams have struggled mightily, as pointed out, throughout the season. However, the Bulldogs have a win in which to draw momentum from entering this contest versus the Friars. Also, when one considers that Providence has dropped two of three road games in awful performances, look for this to continue as the Bulldogs will pick up the 81-67 win on Tuesday.
4* Free CBB Betting Pick: Butler -6.5
While both teams represent the cellar of the Big East, they will certainly not be playing for anything other than pride in this contest. On the other hand, the Bulldogs will be looking to string together some wins as the season winds down. It is for this reason that I will give them the edge in this contest. Of course, winning three of five games at home does not hurt either for the Bulldogs, as they fell to the top two teams in the conference in Marquette along with Villanova during this time.
