Marquette comes into this game with a 28-6 record overall and they were able to win the Big East regular season and conference tournament titles.

Tyler Kolek finished with 20 points, eight rebounds, and three assists. Marquette is averaging 79.9 points while their defense is giving up 70.6 points per game. The offense is ranked 19th in college basketball, and the offense is going to need to run up the score again here.

Shane’s Free Pick

Shaka Smart isn’t known for his performances during March, and his Marquette team is going to be really tested in this game. Vermont is averaging 73 points per game, and I’m not sold on a Marquette defense that is giving up 70.6 points per game. Marquette’s defense is going to really struggle and Vermont is going to take advantage. Back Vermont to come away with a cover of the spread.
