North Dakota State vs Butler Prediction

The Butler Bulldogs are the more talented team and could win comfortably with their defense leading the way. However, the North Dakota State Bison have covered 5 straight games and have a few outright wins as underdogs, including against Weber State and Utah Valley. North Dakota State also gave Samford a scare. This is also a look-ahead spot for Butler with Wisconsin, Marquette, and UCONN on deck. North Dakota State has above-average offensive ability, which allows it to hang around. Give me the points.
