The 11th-seeded NC State Wolfpack faces the 2nd-seeded Marquette Golden Eagles in the Sweet 16. The Wolfpack are coming off a 79-73 win over Oakland while the Golden Eagles took down Colorado 81-77. The Wolfpack are putting up 76.5 points per game and on the defensive end, they are giving up 72.6 points per game. The Golden Eagles are putting up 78.6 points per game. The Wolfpack have won seven straight games. NC State has won its last five games as an underdog, but it's only 18-19-1 ATS this season. Marquette is 18-12-1 ATS. This is the seventh game in sixteen days for NC State. I look for Marquette to turn it up on the defensive end and put pressure on the Wolfpack. When Marquette has the ball, I can see the making Burns play defense in the pick and roll as the Wolfpack struggled to defend that all season. I look for Marquette to wear down NC State and pull away late.

Play on Marquette. This is a 2% play,
