Marquette Golden Eagles Power Through with Impressive Winning Streak

The Marquette Golden Eagles have demonstrated their strength by winning nine of their previous 11 games. Despite their recent loss, I anticipate a high level of motivation from the team in their upcoming game. Even on the road, they maintain an impressive 5-0 record in Big East play, including a victory against Xavier. While the St. John's Red Storm are performing well this season, Marquette's offensive prowess gives them an edge. Marquette boasts an offensive efficiency of 118.4 points per 100 possessions, outpacing St. John's 113 points per 100 possessions. Although St. John's plays at a fast pace, their poor 30% shooting from beyond the arc hampers their offensive performance. Additionally, Marquette has secured decisive victories in five of their last six games with margins of eight points or greater.
