Marquette vs DePaul Prediction
I’m on Marquette here. I’ve been a Depaul hater for a while now, but even if we took that out of the equation because they’ve actually looked competitive in some spots in Big East play this year, you’re seeing Marquette come in off of three straight losses against the three other top teams in the Big East in UConn, St. John’s and Creighton, and it has to bug Marquette that they lost all three games against teams they’ll likely have to go through if they’re going to win the Big East. Now back home, I’m expecting a bit of a statement performance from Marquette here and I think it’s just a case of wrong place, wrong time for Depaul, who is simply overmatched by a fair margin in this game. Give me Marquette in this one.
