T.M. Selection: Marquette - ATS

I like the Marquette Golden Eagles to win this game against the Connecticut Huskies on Friday. I had Marquette yesterday. Although that play ended up losing as they didn't cover the spread, I was really impressed with their ability to come back from down double digits at halftime. Now, they'll play a very good opponent in UCONN, who they've split the season series with so far. Both teams enter red hot and both teams have already made the Big Dance. However, the Golden Eagles really want this Conference Tournament Title as they would be the champs of the regular season and the postseason. Let's not forget that Marquette owns the better record here. If Marquette can shut Sanogo down, which I think they can, I believe that they will win this game and move on to play the winner of the Xavier/Creighton matchup. Expect a very close game. I'll gladly take the points.

T.M. Prediction: 81-77 Marquette.

Line: +4.5

Line Parameter: play until +2.0 (can play ML at + money..)
