Butler Bulldogs vs Michigan State Spartans March Madness Picks Review
Two number five seeds meet in the Final Four as the Butler Bulldogs play in front of their home crowd against the Michigan Spartans.
The Spartans aren’t the most talented team in the NCAA Tournament, but they always seem to go far in March. They play a stingy defensive game and their coach always seems to have a plan in place that gets his teams to over-achieve.
Much like the Spartans, the Bulldogs aren’t an exceptionally talented team and play a very stingy defensive game. They don’t have the experience of Michigan State, but they do have some beastly 3-point shooters and do an excellent job of moving the ball and the defense until they’re able to get a good look from beyond the arc.
The Bulldogs are 1-point March Madness odds favorites at betED and the over/under is 126.
Bang the Book: Michigan State Spartans
The Spartans have the edge in experience and they have already convincingly beaten a team that plays the same style of game as Butler.
This will be a slow-paced, close game that comes down to the final possession which is when Michigan State will finally miss their injured play-maker Kalin Lucas.
Cappers Picks: Michigan State Spartans
The Bulldogs play better as underdogs and they’re going to suffer playing in front of their home crowd.
Sports Chat Place: Michigan State Spartans
Both teams are stingy defensively, but the experienced Spartans should have a game plan ready for Saturday.
