With the Bulldogs the team has really looked decent at times, but in other games they have looked horrible. This is what would help to explain the 6-7 conference record in the Big East, but the overall record is 15-11. The last game out for the Bulldogs was a 91-78 win in a game that they were able to crush the DePaul squad.

The Bulldogs on the year have been able to score 73.5 points a game on the year. The defense for the Bulldogs is giving up 69.3 points a game on the year. The Bulldogs have been able to get a total of 13.7 assist a game on the year, but have managed to get only 32.9 boards a game. Marquette is sitting in second place in the Big East with 2 losses in the conference, but only 4 overall losses. The Golden Eagles are trailing the Villanova squad in the standings and that will give them some extra momentum in this game as the Golden Eagles would like to at least pull even with the Wildcats and potentially leapfrog them in the standings with the better overall record that the Golden Eagles have.

With the scoring of the Golden Eagles the team has managed to score 79 points a game, but the defense is giving up only 69 points a game. The passing attack for the Golden Eagles is at 14 a game, but the rebounding game for the Golden Eagles sits at 37.9 boards a game.

The Bulldogs are playing at a high level, but so are the Golden Eagles and when playing at home the Golden Eagles were even able to take down the vaunted Villanova squad. Look for the Golden Eagles offense to run this game as the defense shuts down the Bulldogs offense. Final Score Prediction, Marquette Golden Eagles win and cover ATS 84-75.
