Your an idiot.  You said it right there yourself..............."last year".  You never go by a team's record or rep. the year before.  And have you ever seen an ODU game this year or a Butler game? No, you haven't.  Because if ya did, you wouldn't have any faith in Butler.  Good luck with your +2, I'll be on the winning side.  Do some research before you cloud up the forum with this worthless crap.

old dominion turns the ball over a ton and this butler team has all most all of the players back from the team that nearly up ended an amazingly talented duke team - shawn vanzant is playing the best basketball he's ever played and is filling the void left by gordon hayward. along with #44. - matt howard is a college all -star who knows how to make the right moves under the rim - and shelvin mack come on this guy was on team usa he always hits 2's from just inside the arc because he is so accurate and from there it's the longest distance to the basket only for a 2 so he doesn't get to many hands in his face - ronald nored along with mack with turn dominion over so many times it will make your head spin

Butler

People keep drinking the Old Dominion juice because they "rebound the ball". The Monarchs go on scoring droughts every game, and a team like Butler will seize every chance... Rebounding the ball

Old Dominion will rebound the ball, that's why they'll win

I doubt it will go that high, +1 would be nice.

There are other teams besides towson in that league. The top half is good. Whos at the bottom of the horizon? Not shit. Old dominion got a nice 1st round win over notre dame last year. This games a toss up. I like odu though

Yeah, there are other teams like James Madison who got blown out by 20 last night by Davidson...

Brad Stevens is a basketball genius, the Monarchs will be slayed by the almighty Butler!

Is ten units on Butler a good bet?

ODU can't shoot 3's, Can't make FT's, turn the ball over a ton, while Butler is pretty solid acroos the board and have the shooters to kill ODU's zone, can't see why all the love for ODU.  They are solid, believe they would match up better with Pitt or WISKY, bad match up for them with Butler!

Butler has the shooters? have you looked up their stats? obviously not. They are 122nd in FG percentage, 190th in Assists? not impressive. And like I said, that Horizon league is so much stronger, it has Butler in the NCAA tournament and............................................wait, thats the only team that made it from the Horizon league. So before you start babbling about the Horizon League and Butlers ability to shoot, you should look up their stats to back up your comments.  Have a good day and good luck to you guys.

Another bit of info  just read. ODU is 13-1 in their last 14, Butler has won their last 8 but have 1 win all year against other tournament teams, ODU has 7.  And also, the game is in Washington, D.C. slight advantage ODU.

I posted this in Quantam Leap's thread a few days agao when making the same argument

"ODU is playing its best basketball also. How they only got a 9 seed with an RPI of 20 and a 14-5 record vs. the top 100 and a 6-4 record vs. the RPI top 50 is beyond me. 

ODU 27-6 9 Seed
RPI - 20 SOS - 64
Top 100: 14-5
Top 50: 6-4
Top 25: 2-2
Bad losses: 1 to Delaware (RPI 145)

Butler 23-9 8 Seed
RPI - 34 SOS - 75
Top 100: 7-6
Top 50: 4-3
Top 25: 0-3
Bad losses: 3 Evansville (RPI 136), Wright State (124), Youngstown St (295)

A common opponent was Xavier (RPI 22). ODU won, Butler lost.


ODU has the better percentage of wins over top 100,50,25 teams in the country. Also recall they return 4 starters from last years team that upset Notre Dame and played a great close game against Baylor. 

If you can make a case for Butler that will counteract all of my points, I would love to hear them"


If Butler wins and overcomes all the points I made in ODU's favor, i will gladly eat my crow. But this research tells me that this is not going to happen

many good points here

Both teams are pretty damn good this year.  When in doubt, take the points, that's what I say.
