This is a 10* BLOCKBUSTER on Notre Dame.
For a number of different reasons I expect the "better" overall team to comfortably pull away down the stretch for the ATS cover. These schools are separated by just 150 miles but have faced off just once in the last 20 years. Butler finished 23-10 while the third-seeded Irish were 30-5, capturing the ACC Tournament title this season after finishing just 15-17 last. The Bulldogs get the job done with a hard-nosed defense, but ultimately I think the senior players on Notre Dame will break through and produce against the unit, note that Butler would hang on to beat Texas last time out despite making just five shots in the second half. While the Bulldogs will have the services of second-leading scorer Roosevelt Jones today after he hyper-extended his knee in the win over the Longhorns, he'll be far from 100% effective. Frankly, that's not good news for a team that already struggles to put points on the board. Notre Dame has one of the countries most efficient offenses and it's been even better in recent weeks, averaging eight 3-pointers a game. I think this spread should be closer to double digits, expect the IRISH to push the pace of this one from the outset and find a way to get the job done at the end of the night.
