Gamblin' Info

Xavier is a 9.5 point favorite over Marquette.

The Musketeers are 9-8 ATS this season, while the Golden Eagles are 10-5 ATS.

The Stakes

The Marquette Golden Eagles are hunting for their first road win of the season and look to hit the above .500 mark in Big East play. It was not until February 11, 2014 that the Golden Eagles had such a feat last season. MU will look to push the all-time series lead over XU to a 48-17 mark in the 65th meeting between these clubs.

The Musketeers look to keep up their winning ways at home, as they currently stand unbeaten here in mid-January at the Cintas Center. They are also looking to return back to a hot streak they had going, in which the Muskies held a halftime lead in their first 15 games of the season.
