Marquette vs. DePaul: Best Picks and Prediction
When diving into the against-the-spread records throughout the season, there is a clear difference between these teams. The Golden Eagles are 9-8-1 against the spread, while the Blue Demons have a 5-12-1 record against the spread.
The difference lately between these programs has been on the defensive side of the court, as Marquette is allowing 74.3 points in their previous four games while DePaul is giving up 89.3 points in their last three games.
The Blue Demons do not have an answer for junior guard Kam Jones. So far this season, he is averaging 15.1 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.2 steals in 28.7 minutes per game. He is a strong shooter, as he is connecting on 45.4% from the floor, 34.2% from the three-point line and 71.4% from the charity stripe.
There is a reason why Marquette is the 14th-ranked program and DePaul has less than a handful of wins so go with the Marquette Golden Eagles on the road to cover a large number.
