Notre Dame at Marquette

We see a lot of similarities to what Notre Dame did last year, to what they are doing this year. Irish opened 13-1 last season, but none of those games were on anyone else's court. They paid dearly, as they dropped their first two on the road in the Big East by double-digits on their way to a 1-5 SU road start in conference play. The Irish come out of the gate 12-2 this year, but still have yet to make an appearance on someone else's court, while running home streak to 30. The problem for the Irish is they are just 8-16 SU on the road in their last 24 in conference road tilts. Marquette has all the weapons to defend the Irish three-point barrage with quick, sticky defensive guards. Marquette can score and defend, and the Irish are in for a wake-up call on the road.  We see Marquette coming away with a convincing home win as they have a pretty good home court as well, going 37-5 SU last 42.
