Against the spread
When favored by 20-plus points at home, Marquette is 4-6 ATS in their last 10 games. The Golden Eagles are clearly the better team here and perhaps by a 20- or 30-point margin. But the spread on this offering is a tall hurdle.
AVOID.

Over/Under
Four of Southern's 6 games have cashed on the Over. The Jaguars have struggled, giving up easy looks that opponent can knock down with regularity. In 3 other games against Quadrant 1 teams this season (TCU, Arizona, Illinois), the Over hit twice. The time it didn't -- against Arizona -- SU had its worst shooting performance of the season.
Look for Marquette to leverage strength on weakness in the half court and in getting to the rim. Peg a slightly above average pace and a contest with good value on the OVER 148.5 (-110).
