NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

Indianapolis, IN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The red-hot Butler Bulldogs continue their
run at a perfect Horizon League campaign tonight, as they host the Loyola
Chicago Ramblers at Hinkle Fieldhouse.
The Bulldogs are enjoying another terrific season at 20-4 and on Saturday they
continued their winning ways with a 74-62 besting of Wright State. The victory
improved Butler to a school-record 13-0 in conference play and a win tonight
would already guarantee the program at least a share of the HL title. The
Bulldogs have also won 12 straight games overall, marking the fourth-longest
streak in school history.
Loyola meanwhile, suffered a narrow 59-56 defeat on Saturday to Cleveland
State. It was the fifth loss in six games for the Ramblers, who are now just
4-9 in league play after going 9-1 against non-conference opponents.
As for the all-time series, Butler leads Loyola 47-30 and that includes a
close 48-47 decision in a meeting just last month.
A late 15-2 run by Cleveland State sent Loyola to a narrow 59-56 loss on its
home floor this past Saturday. It was a tough ending for the Ramblers, who
had 13 turnovers that resulted in 17 points for the Vikings. Ben Averkamp and
Terrance Hill each scored 12 points to pace the team in defeat, while Walt
Gibler had 11 and eight boards. On the season, Hill is the squad's leading
scorer with 11.6 ppg and he is also collecting 4.5 rpg. Gibler, who does his
damage coming off the bench, follows with 11.2 ppg and he too is solid on the
boards, grabbing 5.2 rpg.
The Bulldogs shot an unconscious 67.5 percent from the floor and went 16-of-18
at the foul line, as they downed Wright State over the weekend. Leading the
way was Willie Veasley, who tallied a career-high 19 points on a perfect 9-
of-9 shooting from the floor. Matt Howard tacked on 12 points and five boards,
while Gordon Hayward and Shelvin Mack had 11 and 10 points, respectively. On
the season, Hayward tops the roster in both scoring (16.0 ppg) and rebounding
(7.8 rpg) and he also has 28 steals to his name. Mack adds 14.5 ppg and 3.2
apg to the mix, while Howard contributes 11.1 ppg and 5.2 rpg. Veasley rounds
out the double-digit scorers, with 10.0 ppg.
