Butler got hit a haymaker last Saturday vs. Houston when the Cougs rolled to a 79-51 romp. Were those the real Bulldogs, or the team that won seven of eight prior? We suspect it might be more of the latter, but still hardly convinced we should be laying this sort of price to a combative NDSU. The Bison are off a nice win over Northern Colorado and David Richman looks like he has a Summit League contender on his hands after wins and covers in four straight. While G Jacari White (17 ppg) rates as a contender for Summit MVP, so might 6-10 D-II add Jacksen Moni, scoring at a 24 ppg clip the past three efforts. But has some interesting weapons like battering ram 6-7 Jahmyl Telfort (16 ppg0), but depth and lack of consistent contributions from the bench are a concern for That Matta. Play NDSU
