Marquette 21-5 SU, 12-10-1 ATS
The Golden Eagles are having a very good season and in good shape to make the NCAA Tournament. Their only loss in their last ten games was at Notre Dame and there is no shame in that as right now everyone is losing to the Irish. Marquette has a very good offense that is in the Top 30 in the country and they have been very good on the road this season going 6-2 against the college basketball betting odds.
Connecticut 16-9 SU, 8-13 ATS
The Huskies have lost six of their last eight games overall and they are officially on the NCAA Tournament bubble. There is a real chance that Connecticut won’t make the big dance. This is a critical game for the Huskies as they are already a game below .500 in the Big East and most people don’t believe a team with a losing conference record will make the tournament. And Connecticut still has to go to Villanova and Providence and also play Syracuse and Pittsburgh. The Huskies problem has been their offense which ranks 168th in the country.
