Colorado is coming into this game with a 26-10 record this season and they were 13-7 in their conference. They were one of the better teams in their conference this season and they have been heating up in their recent games as they also went to the finals of their conference tournament, losing to Oregon in the end. They have not been playing in many games recently that had 150+ points total but they are coming off of a 102-100 win against Florida in the last round. They have also been very good recently as they have won 10 of their last 11 games and have been gaining a lot of steam coming into this tournament so they are going to have that fight in them right to the end and they will drive up the score to keep themselves in this game. Colorado has a very good offense this season that has been averaging 79.4 points scored per game, ranking in the top 50 in the country, and they are a very good shooting team as well. They are shooting 49.5% from the field this season which is 6th best in the country and they are also 6th best from the 3 point line as they are shooting 39.4% from there. Their defense has not been as good from the field though as they do not even crack the top 150 in the country. They are going up against a Marquette team that is 26-9 this season and 14-6 in their conference. They were one of the better teams in their conference all season and have not been playing well recently due to some missing key pieces, but they are all back healthy now and they will be at full strength here. Marquette also has a very good offense as they average 78.5 points scored per game, ranking in the top 60 of the country, and they are coming off of a game that they scored 87 points in. They are also a top 30 team from the field as they shoot at 47.8% this season as well as being top 100 in the country from the 3. Their defense does not crack the top 100 in either category though so they are going to struggle to defend such a good shooting team in Colorado who has been hot recently and that is going to drive up the score as well. Between these two teams, there will be enough points in this game to push it over the total.
