The Marquette Golden Eagles have been playing well on the offensive end over their last three games, putting up 80 points and shooting over 50 percent from the field. The Kansas State Wildcats come into this game having won five of their last seven games, but they have lost two of their last three games when facing a team that has a winning record. They will be without thier best player and leading scorer Nijel Pack in this game. With Pack out of the line-up, they have only one other player that has averaged in double figures. They do have a rebounding advantage but if you don't have anybody that can score the basketball does it really matter how many more extra shots you take? I look for the Wildcats to struggle with Marquette's pace and without Pack, they do not have enough firepower to stay with the Golden Eagles.

Play on Marquette. This is a 7* play.
