There was no better college basketball team at going UNDER to close out last season than the Butler Bulldogs who failed to top the closing total in their final 10 games last season. Butler opens their new season when they host The Citadel Bulldogs Saturday.
- The Citadel is 4-21 SU in their last 25 road games.
- Butler ended last season on a 5-2 ATS run in their final seven games.
- The Citadel has never recorded a victory over a Top 25 team in their history.
There is no question that Butler’s attack will go through Kellen Dunham and Roosevelt Jones this season. Dunham has led the team in scoring the past two seasons and is a lethal shooter from beyond the arc, while Jones is a player of unique size that loves to live near the rim.
Fans of The Citadel are much more pessimistic heading into the season as the team lost their only two double-digit scorers from last season's 11-19 squad.
