The current betting odds have Marquette listed as a 3 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Marquette has looked great in their games this season with their 4-0 record overall which has them right near the top of the Big East. They have looked great in their home games too with their 3-0 home record. Meanwhile, Purdue has also looked great in their games this season with their 4-0 record overall which has them right near the top of the Big Ten. They are coming off a big ranked win over Alabama in their last one and that win is going to give them some momentum since Alabama was ranked as one of the best teams in the nation, but that game was also on their home court and Purdue has played all 4 of their games on their home court this season. This is going to be their first true road game of the season and even though Marquette wasn't the best team in the Big East last season with the National Champion coming out of that conference, they were still a really good team that was one of the best in the country and they will bring their best effort for this ranked team at home. Marquette has a lot of talent on their team and some key players returning from last season. They were also tested on the road in their last one and beat Maryland in that environment. The best way to place a bet here is on Marquette to cover the spread in this game.

"More than anything, when you face a dynamic offensive team, you can't hurt yourself. If you want to turn the ball over, take bad shots, they're just going to get into transition and get what they want — Get to the free throw line, get rhythm threes, get dunks. So, you've got to do a good job offensively of getting quality shots, taking care of the basketball and setting your defense. I think that's first and foremost." - Matt Painter after his team’s win against Alabama in their last game. 

“Overall, a really, really good team effort together. Getting stops, getting some loose balls that were critical when we needed them. I just appreciate our guys’ grit.” - Shaka Smart after his team’s win against Maryland in their last game.
