Marquette vs Purdue Prediction

I’m on Marquette here. I just haven’t been impressed with this year’s Purdue team, from losing Daniel Jacobsen early to being heavily reliant on their guards. I think it’s going to come back to bite the Boilermakers, and this could be the spot where it does. I think Marquette has the better guards and has the defensive pressure under Shaka Smart to make life difficult for Purdue. Give me the Golden Eagles.
