#13 Butler @ St. John's: 7pm EDT, FS1, Carnesecca Arena, St. John's +8.5, O/U 149.5
KP: #16 Butler 78 @ #96 St. John's 71: (25.0%)
Should be an interesting game and entertaining for the casual fan. I expect a lot of three-point shooting and a lot of points between the two teams tonight. St. John's is better behind the arc, but Butler is better at defending it.

Let's Go Johnnies! Statistically it's an even matchup.

Your Butler hatred is weird and unfounded, but I'm done trying to figure you out.

gtmo seems to hold a special dislike for Butler and Xavier as Creighton had been the least successful "New" school so far.

no, actualy gtmo is right this time that it's an even matchup...
both teams are 0-0 in conference play and have the exact same points scored and allowed.

No, statistically, it is a Butler +7 advantage due to +20.80 adjusted efficiency margin combined with their average 68.1 possessions per game paired against St Johns' +5.36 adjEM and 73.4 poss/game. (Amazingly, the game projection is 71 possessions --- wonder how they came up with that ????
) and the adjustment factor for home/road.Words have meaning, especially ones that directly relate to a science.

He at least picked you guys 5th (which is still crazy, obviously. I had you 2nd, FWIW). That bum picked us 10th.
