UConn vs. Marquette CBB Prediction:
UConn looks for their third consecutive win, while Marquette looks to get back in the win column.
Give me the Huskies. Without Tyler Kolek in the lineup, there is just no way the Golden Eagles can be trusted against a team of UConn’s caliber. The Huskies defeated Marquette 81-53 on February 17th, and that was with Kolek. This will likely be a closer contest, as Marquette will get a big boost from the home crowd, but in the UConn has too much talent for the Golden Eagles to hang around for 40 minutes. Lay the number.
