A pair of nationally ranked teams meet here on Sunday as No 21 Butler plays at No 15 Creighton. The Butler Bulldogs are 19-8 S/U and 13-12 ATS on the season. They are also 7-7 S/U and 4-9-1 ATS in Big East play. I'm a bit surprised the Bulldogs still ranked as they really haven't played well in conference action. Now they have to face a Creighton team that is 21-6 S/U and 16-10 ATS on the season. Creighton is 10-4 S/U and 10-4 ATS in conference play. They have won and covered their last four games. Unlike Butler, Creighton has been playing very well in conference action. I fully expect this Creighton team to dominate this contest at home. Play Creighton.

Late game on the board has Stanford playing at Washington State in PAC-12 action. The Stanford Cardinal are 17-9 S/U and 16-10 ATS on the season. The Cardinal will play three of their last four on the road beginning with tonight's contest at Washington State. The Cardinal have slumped of late in PAC-12 action, going just 2-7 S/U and 3-6 ATS their last nine games. Washington State is 14-13 S/U and 11-16 ATS on the season. The Cougars are 5-9 S/U and 6-8 ATS in PAC-12 play. They have lost three straight games and six of their last eight games. They are also 1-3 ATS at home in their last four tries. Even though Stanford has struggled of late, this should be the spot for them to get back to winning, which they desperately need if they hope to make the NCAA tournament. Play Stanford.
