UConn vs. Butler CBB Prediction:

UConn looks to win their third straight contest, while Butler looks to get back in the win column after dropping two in a row.

Take the Over. Butler defensively has not been very good as of a late allowing 85+ points in back-to-back games, UConn should be able to take advantage of the Bulldogs recent defensive struggles. Offensively for Butler they have been solid this season scoring 82 ppg and now back at home, I expect we see another nice showing from the Bulldogs offensively.
