Marquette at Louisville

After an opening loss to Cincinnati, Louisville has gotten back on track and won their last three. They are really playing some rugged defense, limiting opponents to just 37% shooting, one of the nation's best. Marquette has put up some outstanding numbers, but they have declined with the onset of Big East play. They are a guard oriented team, and we like the balance and depth of Louisville with their sticky defense to cause some problems. The Cards got off to a tough start with lots of injuries, but have really amped it up with Big East play, something that is becoming their trademark. They are now 19-7-1 ATS in their last 27 Big East games. Marquette has shown to be vulnerable on the road where they have covered just two of their last nine. Cards in this one.
