Western Kentucky is on an 8-4 SU, 9-3 ATS run after winning the Conference USA tournament. They're No. 1 in the conference in scoring (80.6 points per game) and shooting and are 8-3 ATS as an underdog this season. That included a win at La Tech last month as a +10 dog. The defense was second in the conference in field goal shooting allowed (.413) and at defending the 3-pointer (.316). Western Kentucky is on a 19-11 spread run, as well as 79-49 ATS at neutral sites. They're also 14-6 UNDER the total after a victory. Marquette got smoked by UConn in the Big East tournament and is not healthy. Forward Oso Ighodaro (14 ppg, 6.9 rpg) has a knee injury and might not play, while guard Tyler Kolek (15 ppg, 4.7 rpg, 7.6 apg) is battling an oblique injury. Ighodaro is their third-leading scorer and top rebounder while Kolek is their second-leading scorer and top assist man. Marquette is 2-8 ATS away from home versus teams that shoot 45%+ from the field and 36-61 ATS on the road in March contests. They're also 31-19 UNDER the total against winning teams. Take Western Kentucky + UNDER the total as a Max Play.
