Butler vs Mississippi State Prediction
Mississippi State rolls into this game with an undefeated record on the season and they blew out UNLV on Thursday night. The Bulldogs are ranked #25 in the country and also have wins over SMU and Utah. Butler has won four games in a row, but they were lucky to survive Northwestern on Thursday after blowing a big lead. Butler also has a win over SMU this year and has played very strong defense. I think this is going to be a pretty good game, but I don’t think Butler has the offense to keep pace for 40 minutes. Take Mississippi State here.
