Gonna play a conference tournament total. Focus on defense, might get even less of an effort from Wright State on the road for the fourth straight game. Here's Wright State's road totals in losses:

42
52
34
38
56
53
53
54
54
55

Expecting a good defense from Stevens in matchup #3 of the year. These two matched up a few years back in the conference tournament and yielded a 115 (70-45), but the quality of those offenses were much, much, much, much, much better. Also get Butler coming off a loss. Both teams defend what the other wants to do really well. Give Butler an edge in the paint if Battle doesn't play, but in that case I can settle for 2's instead of 3's. Snail. Last meeting here this year, Wright State scored 53, but Battle had 18 of those points and hit 5 three's (he's only made 19 all year). Butler gets a lead, air comes out of the ball. Stevens has never gone over the 65 possession mark in the conference tournament, and in his 8 games has averaged just over 59 possessions a game. With Wright State, you have a few different coaches, but same philosophy and coaching tree, and they're right around that 59 possession mark as well. I don't care if they hit 65 possessions, as both offenses bring in an effective FG%'s of 45, good for national rankings of #309 and #294. Donlon's said he's going to defend Butler on the perimeter and that's all he's focused on. If that's the case, Butler makes it a point to get the ball inside which eats up time. Foul shooting send this over? Certainly a possibility, but I value the decline in Wright State's offense (if possible) being on the end of the four game roady.

5* Wright State/Butler Under 118.5

They should win tonight pretty easily, and they have a good chance at the crown with the talent they have. If they would just start playing some defense, I could trust them. I would be interested in them in a double revenge spot against Cleveland State, but if CSU has Brown back then McCallum's taken out of the game to an extent. Should be an interesting tourney. Wouldn't be surprised to see any of Detroit/CSU/Butler/MKE win it.

I think X is very undervalued as of now. They are off the radar and globe for that matter. If not for the meltdown after the Cincy win, this is a 24-4 ball club and in the top 20 (imo of course). St Louis hasnt done well with teams with decent guards all year. I think its entirely possible X wins this straight up, so over +300 to win is very generous imo.

OOC, on your 10* games, did you put 10 units on them? Or, more than that, but 10* was the most you wanted to rate the game?
