November 16, 201015 yr This game is part of ESPN's 24 hour marathon. Who wins and why? A great opener for both teams.
November 16, 201015 yr I'm thinking UL pulls the upset to open the new arena. No real reason why, just a gut feeling...

Brad Stevens may not take his team into a more hostile environment all season. Should be a good one. Love the 24 hour marathon. Watching Memphis right now, and Will Barton's brother Antonio is out playing his brother. I think Mack for Butler is sitting on a big year.

November 16, 201015 yr Butler appeas to be best team onpaper but the cards looked pretty good in closing out Freedon Hall, anything can happed but I think Butler wins by 8 pts or more. Remember Pitino said this is a bridge year, does he mean by the bridge?
November 16, 201015 yr While Butler was in the title game last season, let us not pretend they were the 1990 UNLV Running Rebels. They were a 5 seed that is extremely well coached but they also lost an NBA talent off the team. UL is bigger, stronger, and faster. Butler is better coached and has more experience. I like UL 67-59.

November 16, 201015 yr Don't really care who wins but I'm hoping that Elisha Justice gets into the game.
November 16, 201015 yr ^ He will. With Russ Smith hurt, he'll end up getting solid minutes at PG, at least that's sort of what we've been led to believe.

November 16, 201015 yr I saw the last exhibition and he looked good (albeit against a very depleted Wesleyan team). He's got speed, strength and brains. I don't think Pitino would have given him a scholarship if he didn't think he could play. He's definitely shown all the signs of being a contributor so far.
