The NC State Wolfpack and Butler Bulldogs face off on Friday in a college basketball showdown at Imperial Arena. 

NC State comes into this game with a 5-1 record overall and they are coming off another win on Thursday. The defense locked down Dayton giving up only 64 points, and they were able to secure a 12 point victory. Jarkel Joiner had a big game finishing with 27 points and three rebounds. Overall this season NC State is averaging 83.83 points while their defense is giving up 66.3 points per game. Terquavion Smith is having a strong season for NC State and he is currently averaging 19 points while shooting 44.4 percent from the field and 32.6 percent from behind the three-point line. 

On the other side of this matchup is Butler who sits with a 4-2 record overall and they are coming off a big win on Thursday. The offense scored 75 points against BYU and that was enough to secure a five point victory. Jayden Taylor had a strong game finishing with 20 points and three rebounds. On Wednesday against Tennessee, Butler’s offense only scored 41 points, and that led to the blowout defeat. Butler is averaging 75.8 points while their defense is giving up 61.8 points per game. Guard Jayden Taylor has been the top player for Butler averaging 15.4 points while shooting 49 percent from the field and 39.1 percent from behind the three point line. 

I trust this NC State offense more, and that is going to be the difference here. Butler’s offense is better than last year, but they still don’t have enough playmakers to get the job done here. Butler is going to run up the score and they are going to get close to 80 points here. Back Butler against the spread.
