Marquette shot 56.7% their best in their last 47 league games vs. Cinci in their last meeting. Cinciâs has always been known as a tough defensive team under Cronin, but this Marquette team is just a bad match up for them. Cinci is just not as mentally tough and Marquette is a team that just keeps coming. They are simply relentless despite their lack of size and they have the play makers. They actually need a win here so they are the #2 seed in the Big East tournament so theyâll be playing for a lot. Cinci simply just does not have enough offense to keep up with the Big Eastâs #1 ranked offense. The 2 extra days will also help Marquette and they are 43-21-1 ATS in their last 65 road games.
