The New Hampshire Wildcats will be looking to build on their season-opening 98-53 win over St. Joseph’s (ME) last time out. Jayden Martinez led the Wildcats with 20 points on 9 of 15 shooting with 10 rebounds for the double-double while Nick Guadarrama had 13 points on 6 of 10 shooting with 5 rebounds, a team-high 4 assists and 3 steals. Blondeau Tchoukulegno added 12 points with a pair of steals while Nick Johnson, Sloan Seymour, Qon Murphy and Josh Hopkins each had 10 points to cap off the scoring in double figures for UNH in the win. Johnson added 3 steals while Hopkins shot 5 of 6 from the floor. As a team, New Hampshire shot 52.6% from the field, 18.8% from three and 65.2% from the foul line in the win.
The Marquette Golden Eagles will be out to build on their 88-77 win over SIU-Edwardsville last time out. Darryl Morsell led the Golden Eagles with 21 points on 7 of 13 shooting with 3 threes while Justin Lewis added 17 points and a team-high 11 rebounds with a pair of steals for the double-double. Stevie Mitchell had 14 points with 4 assists and Tyler Kolek had 10 points with a team-high 9 assists and 3 steals to cap off the group of double-digit scorers for Marquette in the victory. As a team, Marquette shot 44.1% from the field, 26.9% from three and 72.4% from the foul line in the win.
New Hampshire is 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 road games and 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 games against a team with a winning record while the under is 14-5-1 in their last 20 road games against a team with a home winning percentage above .600. Marquette is 3-8 ATS in their last 11 home games and 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games following a win while the over is 12-5 in their last 17 Friday games.
It’s hard to really have any takeaways from New Hampshire’s win, but I took two things away from Marquette’s W, and that’s the offense can be really good and that the defense has to be better. With that said, I just don’t see the Wildcats keeping up in this game. Marquette’s simply the better team from top to bottom and I just think that they get the job done here.
