Marquette vs Central Michigan Prediction 

Marquette comes into this matchup looking for their third straight win of the season and they have looked very good in their first two games. The Golden Eagles are scoring 92 points per game and they have only allowed 63 and 62 in their first two games. Central Michigan is coming off of a tough loss against Stony Brook, but they do have a higher shooting percentage than Marquette right now. I think this game has the potential to be very high scoring, so I like the over here.
