Marquette is coming into this game with a 9-1 record this season and they are coming off of a big win against Wisconsin by 14 points. They have been great at home this season, but they have only played 2 road games and they have struggled a lot more in those. Their only loss this season came in their last road game, losing to Iowa State by 11 points, and their other road game this season was a win, but they only won by 4 points against Maryland. They are going up against a Dayton team that is 8-2 this season and they have been playing very well in their recent games. They have won their last 3 straight games and they have been dominant at home as they have won all of their games there this season, winning all but 1 by 8+ points. Their 2 losses came in a tournament a few weeks ago, but they played some good quality opponents in that tournament and played very well. They lost by 2 points against UNC, lost by 5 points to Iowa State, and they ended the tournament with a 7 point win against UConn. Their offense has been very good as they scored 84+ points in all 3 of those games as well. Dayton has the offense to compete with Marquette at home, and their shooting has actually been much better all season. Dayton is a top 20 team in the country from the field as well as a top 31 team from 3 point which is higher than Marquette in both of those categories, but they are also ranked higher on defense from the field and beyond the arc as well. Dayton will cover the spread in this game.
