The Big East Conference will have at least one representative in the Final Four, as a pair of familiar foes will tip-off in the Elite 8. Syracuse has mystified opponents with their confusing zone, something most teams don't see much of during the course of the season. It has aided Syracuse in holding three opponents to 48 points per game. That wasn't the case vs. a top-level opponent in the Big East Final, as Louisville hit them for 78. It wasn't the case during the regular season either, as this Marquette team hit them for 74. The fact is that Marquette has historically fared well vs. the Cuse zone, as over the last seven meetings they have scored 66 or more points against it, averaging 72 points per game. If the dog is looking at 66+ here, there is a strong chance of topping the low total. Marquette has played 6-1 to the OVER in their last seven at a neutral site. Play this one OVER the total.

Pro Picks
Syracuse at Marquette
The Syracuse Orange were a team that exploded off an opponent miss last season and had 2 points going the other way in the blink of an eye. This team is gifted, but not in the same way as they have been bound by the halfcourt game. Marquette used to be a racehorse team with quick speedy guards, but the landscape has changed for them as well. The Warriors are defensive oriented and physical in the halfcourt game they play. Just about all their games vs. the upper tier of the conference have played out low. Playing at home that has led to a 9-4 mark to the UNDER in their last 13 here vs. a team with a road winning percentage of over .600. Cuse has been slowed by the better teams recently as well at 4-1 to the UNDER in their last five vs. teams over .600 as well. Play the UNDER.
