Expert picks & predictions for Marquette at UConn
NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) expects defense in this one: Game Total UNDER 144.5
“Shaka Smart vs Dan Hurley makes for one intense game. What I’ve noticed is that Marquette plays much slower on the road during conference play than at home. Marquette ranks 3rd-slowest in tempo when on the road compared to the 3rd-quickest at home. UConn ranks 2nd and 3rd slowest in the conference away-and-home splits, so they just play slow in general. This is a revenge spot for Marquette and their road Big East games have gone Under in 7 out of 9, something that is likely worth riding once again.”
