The Virginia Cavs opened the Tournament with an 81-45 win over Hampton. They should be in for a tougher test Saturday against the Butler Bulldogs. The total for this game is particularly low, and I think the bookmakers might be overlooking the fact that Butler tends to score plenty of points. My money is on the over.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - The Bulldogs have gone over in five of their last seven overall, and five of their last six versus the ACC. They score an average of 80.3 points on 46.6 percent shooting.

2. Free Throw Shooting - Both these teams are excellent at the charity stripe, with Butler shooting 73.2 percent, and Virginia hitting 75.2 percent. Butler was 12-of-16 from the free throw line in their win over Texas Tech in the first round.

3. X-Factor - The Bulldogs were on fire from beyond the arc in their win over the Red Raiders, hitting 9-of-17 three-point attempts.

Selection: This is a play on the Bulldogs@Cavs to go OVER the total (10*)
