*CBB(1u): Seton Hall/Butler 1H UNDER 61–3 PM CT
Seton Hall is an Under team any way you slice it. Give Shaheen Holloway credit for having the Pirates playing a Top 20 level defensively, but as we found out the hard way last weekend, this offense sucks. They shoot under 44% from the field, just 31% from deep, and hold a brutal 0.9 assist/turnover ratio. Making matters worse, this team hasn’t played in a week, meaning the opportunity for a slow start is quite likely.
Butler has had a rough go of it as of late, but that has little to do with their defense. The Bulldogs are still a Top 80 defense by my estimation, and you could argue they are the most disciplined unit on that end of the floor in the country(under 13 fouls per game). Butler’s offense might be better percentage wise, but they are not aggressive from deep(277th in 3-pointers attempted) and rank 347th in offensive rebounding %.
Pace will be on our side here, and in addition to each defense having a clear edge, the dynamics of this matchup set up for a low-scoring 1H.
*CBB(1u): Stanford -10.5 vs California–9 PM CT
This is a major revenge spot for Stanford. Cal might be 3-17, but one of those wins came in loud fashion over these Cardinal early in conference play. Stanford has righted the ship as of late with 3 straight wins, and they’ll enjoy the luxury of playing their 4th straight home game tonight.
Cal is atrocious any way you slice it; they’re atrocious on the glass, they average just 61 PPG, and they hold an unfathomable 0.8 assist/turnover ratio. The Golden Bears do show competency at the Free Throw line, but they get to the line at just the 236th best rate in the country.
Quite frankly, I don’t think this game is coming down to FT’s. This is a home run spot for an experienced Stanford team, and they hold clear edges on both ends of the floor. This line tells you everything you need to know.
