DePaul Blue Demons vs. Marquette Golden Eagles Predictions
The upcoming game between the Marquette Golden Eagles and the DePaul Blue Demons presents a stark contrast in momentum. Marquette, boasting a solid 19-6 overall record and an impressive 10-4 in conference play, is riding high on a four-game winning streak. The Golden Eagles have been particularly dominant at home, with an 11-1 record at the Fiserv Forum. Tyler Kolek and Oso Ighodaro have been pivotal for Marquette, contributing significantly in points, rebounds, and assists.
On the other side of the court, the DePaul Blue Demons have had a season to forget, with a dismal 3-22 overall record and no wins in conference play. The team has struggled on the road, failing to secure a single victory in eight attempts. Despite the challenges, Da’Sean Nelson has been a bright spot for the Blue Demons, leading the team in points, rebounds, and assists. However, DePaul’s offensive struggles are evident, ranking 348th in points and 344th in field goal percentage.
This game is likely to be a showcase of Marquette’s offensive capabilities against DePaul’s defensive vulnerabilities. The Golden Eagles’ 77.7 average points per game will challenge the Blue Demons’ defense, which has allowed opponents to score freely throughout the season. Key matchups to watch include Marquette’s Kolek against DePaul’s Nelson, with both players being their respective teams’ facilitators. As Marquette looks to continue their push for a strong postseason position, DePaul will aim to disrupt their plans and find some form of redemption in what has been a tough season.
DePaul Blue Demons vs. Marquette Golden Eagles Pick
The choice of Marquette Golden Eagles for the moneyline bet is a straightforward one, given their impressive 19-6 overall record and their dominance at home with an 11-1 record. The Golden Eagles have been consistent in their performance, especially in conference play where they hold a 10-4 record. Their four-game winning streak further solidifies their position as the clear favorites in this matchup. Marquette’s offensive strength, averaging 77.7 points per game, is likely to overwhelm DePaul’s defense, which has been one of the weakest in the league. Tyler Kolek and Oso Ighodaro have been key players for Marquette, and their contributions are expected to be significant in this game as well.
On the other hand, the DePaul Blue Demons have had a challenging season, with a 3-22 overall record and a 0-14 record in conference play. Their inability to win on the road, with an 0-8 record, does not bode well for their chances against a strong Marquette side. The Blue Demons’ offensive struggles, ranking near the bottom in points and field goal percentage, make it unlikely for them to keep up with Marquette’s scoring. While Da’Sean Nelson has been a standout player for DePaul, the team’s overall performance suggests that a victory against Marquette is improbable. Therefore, the Marquette Golden Eagles moneyline bet is the prudent choice, supported by both current form and statistical analysis.
The Pick: Marquette Golden Eagles -10000. (FanDuel)
