What's Wrong With Butler

[thesandman1]

They are an 18 point favorite and are down at home by 16 to Loyola-Chi, late first half. I was going to play them for the second half to just win the game but now I'm wondering if something is wrong with them. I played Clemson for sechttp://forum.therx.com/forumdisplay.php?f=111ond half to just win their game.

Thinking same, seem to play down to weaker competition at home.

They were 18.5 favorites at home vs. Detroit and won 54-50.
They were 18.5 favorites at home Vs Valpo and won 59-51.

I took them -14' small. If they win the game, I win my bet. If they lose, I'm out a little bit of money. It's a lot of points to cover, but I have to think at some point they wake up in the 2h. Wouldn't be surprised to see an 8-0 run to start the 2h.

they arent a real good team to lay big points with...they tend to win but not blow a lot of teams out....

they are kinda like Oklahoma...they keep winning, but seems they dont cover the big spreads real often....

Butler must not even want to be playing because my mens league team could hang with loyola there that bad.

 

[thesandman1]

I played them for the second half -13.5 so I now have an 18 point favorite at plus one half point for the full game. Doesn't sound so bad when I say it this way.

But first we got to sweat Clemson, now in OT after all the tip misses at the end of regulation.

Reminds me of the game when they played at Illinois-chicago and were just awful in the first half before storming back and winning the game easily. If they can come back like that on the road, I would by no means surprised to see them achieve that at home

Looks like I may have been wrong about Butler. 9 minutes into the 2h and they haven't made up a single point. They just took the day off. I'm sure they will make a run at some point, but it will probably be too late.

Butler shoots too many 3's to be covering these huge lines.

 

[wiskers1]

the fact that i am on them is whats wrong with butler

 

[Hamboner0182]

they played almost perfect at Loyola last time and outrebounded them by 18 and won by 23. u know they werent gonna play that well again

You just can't cap when a team decides not to show up. Nothing in the numbers made the dog a good play. Just best to stay away from these gross mismatches.

 

[PeterGriffin]

They actually had the chance to come back and win the game or at least force OT, but they choked. Glad I played the 2h small.

Butler had the ball twice in the last 30 seconds and missed a shot and had a turnover. All the way back to have a chance and they blow it. Lost 71-67.
