Providence vs Butler College Basketball Betting Preview
Coming off an 89-84 home loss to Villanova, Providence now holds just a half-game lead in the Big East standings. With four left, including a rematch with Villanova to end the season, the Big East just got a lot more interesting. The recent loss was not much more than a small speedbump as Providence had won eight straight heading into the game dating back to January 4th. The issue with the Friars this year seems to be that they play to the level of the competition. Just once in their past eight games, has the game been decided by 10 or more points. Even though Butler hasn’t been anything special this year, it’s still likely to be a close game.
Butler has been one of the more streaky teams in the country this season. Unfortunately for them, most of their “streaks” are losing streaks. Butler has won two of their last three games, however. At this point of the season though, with only a conference tournament win getting them to any decent postseason tournament, there isn’t much to play for. With that in mind, the Bulldogs will have something to prove to their fans and the country as they have lost three of their last four conference games by two possessions or less.
