Marquette vs DePaul Basketball Predictions & Best Bets
Marquette is on the road playing DePaul at the Wintrust Arena stadium on Saturday, 1/28/2023 @ 2:00pm EST. Marquette -9.5 was the opening favorite and line hasn't moved.
A Big East matchup between Marquette and DePaul will take place on Saturday in Chicago. With a record of 16-5 and an 8-2 record in Big East play, the Golden Eagles are having a great season. The DePaul Purple Eagles come in with a 9-12 record and a 3-7 record in the Big East. There will be an opening tap at 2:00 pm EST for this matchup.
Let's fly, Eagles!
Marquette is once again near the top of the Big East standings as the season nears its halfway point. Xavier is just one game ahead of the Golden Eagles in the conference standings with an 8-2 record. Due to the fact that Marquette hasn't played in a week, they will be fresh heading into this matchup. Seton Hall lost 74-53 to Marquette last Saturday. Kam Jones led the way with 22 points, while Oso Ighodaro had 18 points and six rebounds. Marquette has won eight of its first ten conference games, the fastest start to conference play since 2018-19. The Golden Eagles are now ranked 16th heading into Saturday's game.
Loss of a doubtful nature
Throughout the first half of the Big East schedule, the DePaul Blue Demons have struggled. The Blue Demons are 3-7 in conference play, including three losses in their last four games. The Blue Demons were defeated 81-76 by the Georgetown Hoyas on Tuesday night, marking Georgetown's first conference win in 30 games. Umoja Gibson led the Demons with a game-high 24 points. A 13-point and five-rebound performance by Javon Johnson rounded out the scoring. Only 58% of DePaul's free throws were made. Overall, the team shot 48% from the floor.
With DePaul coming off a tough loss and depleted at the guard position, the Golden Eagles shouldn't have too much trouble. The ability of Marquette to get to the basket and make easy baskets will be a boon against the Blue Demons' defense. This defense has been relatively forgiving to opposing offenses. In spite of DePaul's struggles on the glass, Marquette does a good job protecting the basketball. The team plays UConn on the road and Xavier at home in two of its last three Big East games before taking on UConn. Despite the tough competition, the Golden Eagles should win easily.
