None of the models I use have this getting to 150 total points in the season opener for both (ours has 147). Butler is always a solid defensive team under Thad Matta and returns only 15.3 percent of its scoring from a season ago (400 of 2,616 points). Southern Indiana was picked to finish ninth in the Ohio Valley, and the Screaming Eagles have 12 new players and must replace 90 percent of the offense (64.4 points per game) from 2024-25. Sounds like a lot of early season offensive struggles coming for both clubs. USI lost by an average score of 76.3-68.1 on the road last year, but, again, almost all new players.
