Prediction
This is a mismatch on paper and it will be a mismatch on the court as well. Boise State had a terrific season and were one of the first four teams out of the NCAA Tournament. They could have easily accepted an invitation to the NIT, but opted to go to Vegas and they are motivated. They had no trouble taking care of George Washington on Monday, while Butler struggled to beat Utah. The Bulldogs dropped five of their final six regular season games, while the Broncos finished strong. I expect a double-digit victory for Boise.
Pick: Boise State -6.5
