25* Tourney Top Dog (BIG PLAY!) **4-0 SATURDAY**
Play on Butler at 2:30 ET. We successfully played against one #2 seed yesterday (Duke) and feel that taking another #7 today is the right play. With Duke's outright loss yesterday, that made it four #2's to go down in the Round of 32 over the last three years and dropped them to 11-10 'straight up' over the last five+ tournaments! Tennessee is not a strong tournament team covering just 9 of 39 in conference and NCAA tourney play combined and they are just 14-34 vs. the number on a neutral court overall. Butler, on the other hand, is an incredible 8-0 ATS as an underdog over the last two years with six of those covers coming on a neutral floor. They are also 9-2 ATS vs. non-conference opponents this year. Look for the Bulldogs' defense to absolutely doom the Volunteers, who want to play this game in the 80's. Butler won't let them do that though with their clock management, and will find out like South Alabama did that when the Bulldogs get the lead, you die a slow and painful death. Butler is our 25* NCAA Tourney Top Dog.
