PICK: I’m sticking with Butler. Both teams need a convincing win and I think the Bulldogs are in a better place to get it. The last time these teams met was a 67-53 Butler win. The Bulldogs had a 35-17 lead at break and never looked back. DePaul shot just 33.3 percent off the ground in this case, and was beaten 40-33. This one will likely be more competitive, but I still like Butler.
