Providence heads to Indianapolis to take on Butler in a Big East matchup. Providence has won five in a row. They are e 7-6 ATS on the season and 2-1 ATS on the road. They are putting up 81.3 points a game and are shooting 47.7% from the field and 33.2% from deep. On the defensive end, they are giving up 69.6 points and their opponents are shooting 42.9% from the field and 35.3% from deep. Butler is pooting up 71.3 points a game and is shooting 48.1% and 34.8% from deep. On the defensive end, they are giving up 64.8 points and their opponents are shooting 42.7% from the field and 31.1% from deep. The Bulldogs are 6-1 straight up at home this season and 5-2 ATS at home. They are just 2-5 straight up and ATS this season against major schools. The Friars are one of the most physical teams in the paint and should be able to control the glass on both ends of the court. Butler has struggled to limit second-chance opportunities for opponents. Providence is 5-0 ATS in their last five games overall, while the underdog is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings between these two. I like the Friars to take this one as their rebounding and Bulers' lack of depth will be the difference.
