Battle of the Bulldogs

All college basketball fans will be watching tonight when Gonzaga and Butler go at it at Hinkle Fieldhouse. This game showcases two top 15 teams and two of the best coaches in college basketball in Mark Few [Gonzaga] and Brad Stevens [Butler]. #13 Butler is playing host to #8 Gonzaga. College Gameday was at the Hinkle Fieldhouse earlier this morning. Butler has played a pretty tough out-of-conference schedule beating Indiana, Marquette, and UNC. Gonzaga is one of the many one-loss teams in the country. Their only blemish came against Illinois. Illinois has beaten both of these two teams. This will be a very exciting game, but I think Gonzaga will pull it out. The key for them will be there big man Kelly Olynyk. He has been averaging about 18 points per game. I don't know if Butler will have an answer for him. I will be tweeting throughout the whole game, so follow me on Twitter @MM8sports.
