SIU vs. Butler predictions

[CLBravesfan]

Wonder what our BU board sees in this game.

Even though the games at Butler, I just don't beleive they are that strong of a team.

I see SIU by Eight 59-51

[Grassman]

SIU "D" shuts down The Bulldogs and Graves. SIU 54-Butler 49.

havent been keeping up wih butler much this ear.... do they have anyone that can match up with Falkner?? if not then I definately think SIU wins this one.....

if not i still think SIU will win a close one but I could see SIU winning big if butler doesnt have anyone to match up with him... butler hasnt been playing the best of late

[BuBraves55]

personally i think siu is way overrated- they're good but not #15
that could lead to some problems if siu gets a 4 or 5 seed and loses the packers nantzs and everyone will rip the valley

anyway butler by 5

I agree SIU may not be #15, but Butler is more overrated in my opinion.

It's all about making shots.

T Young throwing up bricks - forgeddaboudit.

Graves on fire - forgeddaboudit.

But I think SIU controls the pace of this game (even more slow than Butler is used to)... this one is gonna have an ugly final score.

Magic Number is 45.

SIU 45-43.

Go DAWGS!!! GO MVC!!!

[real fan]

This has been said many times before but if the game is tightly officiated then SIU could be in trouble as the officials are brought in from outside conferences; also Butler looked like a good basketball team when they won the pre-season NIT so trying to win on their homecourt will not be easy; I think this game can really hurt SIU as far as seeding in the NCAA tour. if they lose.

If this game was in Little Egypt , I wouldn't even give Butler a chance. I still think SIU will win, but it's probably gonna be an ugly game to watch. This would be a nice win for SIU and the Valley.
Go Salukis, err I mean Egyptian Dawgs

Way to go SIU big win for the valley....

I doubt the real game will be as high scoring as the cyber version, but you never know.

[TheAsianSensation]

SIU 71
Butler 61

An offensive explosion.

[CLBravesfan]

"Offensive Explosion"? SIU?

That is an oxymoron

[Big Mike]

HEY......I look @ these games as post-season games for the Valley......so I'm pulling for every Valley team this week-end to prove how good the league really is........so GO-DOGS!
