A Big East game is scheduled for Sunday afternoon when the Butler Bulldogs (11-9, 3-6 in Big East) visit the #15 UConn Huskies (15-5, 4-5). Butler has lost three of their last four games and will not be dancing this season without a Big East Tournament win. UConn will most likely be exiting the AP poll after losing three in a row and five of their last six. Below is my college basketball betting pick for Butler vs Creighton.
