Marquette at Butler prediction​

The Golden Eagles looked good for the first half at DePaul on Jan. 16. Then Nigel James Jr. turned into a full-fledged superstar against Providence on Jan. 19. So MU has some confidence coming into this one. Can the defense get enough stops against a Butler team that has been inconsistent this season. This could be the game the Golden Eagles break through on the road.

Prediction: MU 81, Butler 77
