Utah State at Marquette

Marquette suffered a blow when PG Dominic James went down with a season-ending injury. They lost five of their last six games, but they were all to teams seeded No. 3 or higher in this tournament. They also showed us something by taking Syracuse to overtime, losing to Louisville by just four, and Villanova by just one. Utah State has not seen a team even close to the talent and experience they get here. They played nobody at all so the win column is highly inflated. Their top game was against St. Mary's who isn't even in this tournament and they lost by 11. Marquette still has a lot of weapons and experience, so I make them my choice in this one.
