Western Carolina has had a tough early season schedule. They prefer a slower pace, holding unbeaten Ohio State to 66 points and 41.8% shooting. 6-5 guard Haboubacar Mutombo, the nephew of Hall of Famer Dikembe Mutombo, is the best all-around player for Western Carolina, leading the team in scoring (10.8 per game), rebounding (7.8), assists (2.6) and shooting percentage (51.2). The Catamounts are 9-2 ATS against a team with a winning record, plus 15-5-1 ATS when following a straight-up win. Marquette loves to run, but that comes at a cost of soft defense, allowing 78-79 points in each of the last four games. Marquette is on a 3-8 spread run, including 2-10 ATS at home against a team with a losing road record. Take the generous points on Western Carolina.
