Marquette vs Xavier Betting Prediction
I anticipate the Musketeers' offense will gradually catch up to the Golden Eagles thanks to their ability to shoot from wherever on the court. Additionally, I anticipate the home crowd to be filled with enthusiasm that will counteract the Golden Eagles and raise the Musketeers given their momentum, which includes their impressive victory streak, conference dominance, and home-court advantage.
With Boum coming off a 26-point performance, expect huge games from him and Freemantle. Take the home team to cover the spread in this one.
Pick: Xavier Musketeers -3.5 (-110)
