Northern Illinois had a losing record last season. They stepped up twice last November on the road and got crushed at Northwestern (63-46) and Georgia Tech (68-50), failing to cover both times. Marquette is a Big East powerhouse once again, winning the regular season and tournament crowns. Head coach Shaka Smart returns four starters and eight rotation players. Marquette played an early-season game last year against the MAC and rolled over Central Michigan, 97-73, shooting 53% while forcing 22 turnovers. Play Marquette.

Pro Picks
Northern Illinois at Marquette
The Marquette Golden Eagles have a couple of tune-ups getting ready for Big East play. Marquette comes into this game at home vs. Northern Illinois at 7-3. Perhaps the biggest area of concern for this team has been their negative rebounding thus far as they have been out-rebounded by their opponents on the season. They have overcome the poor effort off the glass by connecting on 50% or better of their shots in six games. The Huskies prefer a half-court game, and they know they can't get into a track meet here. Northern Illinois has held four opponents to less than 70 points, and Marquette is drawing high totals with a positive shooting anomoly. I look for this one to play in the 140s or less. Play the UNDER in this one.
