Syracuse vs. Marquette

The Big East Conference will have at least one representative in the Final Four, as a pair of familiar foes will tip-off in the Elite 8. Syracuse has mystified opponents with their confusing zone, something most teams don't see much of during the course of the season. It has aided Syracuse in holding three opponents to 48 points per game. That wasn't the case vs. a top-level opponent in the Big East Final, as Louisville hit them for 78. It wasn't the case during the regular season either, as this Marquette team hit them for 74. The fact is that Marquette has historically fared well vs. the Cuse zone, as over the last seven meetings they have scored 66 or more points against it, averaging 72 points per game. If the dog is looking at 66+ here, there is a strong chance of topping the low total. Marquette has played 6-1 to the OVER in their last seven at a neutral site. Play this one OVER the total.
