We're focused, we want to win. We don't feel comfortable with where we are." Butler has not lost a conference game this season and they are also unbeaten at home. They didn’t play that well on Saturday but still got past Milwaukee 68-59.

"These guys have not once talked about seeding, they have not once talked about NCAA tournament," head coach Brad Stevens said, "Their locker room is right next to my office, and I have not once heard bracketology or any of that stuff from them. These guys stay pretty focused on the task at hand." Wright State is coming off a big college basketball betting win on Saturday as they routed Detroit to reach the title game.
