Providence Friars vs. Marquette Golden Eagles Predictions
The matchup between the Marquette Golden Eagles and the Providence Friars is poised to be an exciting Big East confrontation. Marquette, with an impressive home record of 13-1, is looking to leverage their home-court advantage and continue their strong performance in the conference (12-4). The Golden Eagles are coming off a dominant stretch, having won 9 of their last 10 games, and are led by the sharpshooting of Kam Jones, who is averaging 15.8 points per game, and the playmaking of Tyler Kolek, with 7.7 assists per game.
On the other side, the Providence Friars, who have a more modest road record of 3-6, are hoping to carry the momentum from their last win into this game. The Friars will rely heavily on the contributions of Devin Carter, who has been a statistical leader in points (19.3 per game), rebounds (8.3 per game), and assists (3.6 per game). Providence’s offensive efforts will be crucial as they face a Marquette team that boasts a higher field goal percentage (48.1% to Providence’s 45.3%) and scores more points on average (79.1 to 74.0).
Defensively, both teams will be looking to tighten up, with Marquette allowing an average of 42.2% shooting from their opponents, while Providence has allowed 41.0%. The game will also feature a battle of the boards, with Providence averaging more rebounds (36.3 to Marquette’s 33.1). The key to victory could lie in the ability of each team to control the paint and manage the tempo of the game. With both teams eager to solidify their standings in the Big East, this matchup is sure to be a fiercely contested battle.
Providence Friars vs. Marquette Golden Eagles Pick
The ‘Under’ pick for the Providence Friars vs. Marquette Golden Eagles game is supported by several trends and statistics. Marquette’s defense has been relatively solid, allowing opponents to shoot only 42.2% from the field, and the Friars’ defense is even more stringent, with opponents shooting just 41.0%. Despite Marquette’s high-scoring offense, the total line is set at 150.0, which is a threshold that both teams have not consistently surpassed in their recent games. The Golden Eagles have seen the ‘Under’ hit in 6 of their last 10 games, while the Friars have seen it in 2 of their last 10. Additionally, the Friars’ lower three-point shooting percentage (32.8%) could contribute to fewer points on the board.
Moreover, the pressure of this Big East matchup may lead to a more defensive and cautious game, as both teams will be eager to avoid mistakes and could potentially slow down the pace. The Friars’ road record also suggests they play less effectively away from home, which could limit their scoring against a strong Marquette team at the Fiserv Forum. Considering these factors, along with the high stakes of conference play, the ‘Under’ seems like the more compelling pick for this matchup.
The Pick: Under 150.0 -108 (DraftKings)
