The Golden Eagles nabbed a spot in the national tournament thanks mainly to their outstanding offense. They are 17th in the nation in scoring, averaging 82.5 points per game this season. The Golden Eagles are even better when it comes to <a href=\"http:\/\/kenpom.com\/index.php?s=RankAdjOE\" target=\"_blank\">adjusted offensive\u00a0efficiency<\/a> with Marquette scoring 121.0 points per 100 possessions. That\u2019s seventh-best in the NCAA this campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Marquette leads\u00a0the nation in 3-point shooting at 43 percent, with 6-foot-11 center Luke Fischer (11.0 PPG) anchoring things down low. Fisher is one of five players scoring in double figures for the Golden Eagles who are also seventh in the nation in free throw percentage. Marquette&#8217;s odds of winning the national championship are currently priced at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/basketball\/2017-ncaa-championship\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>+30,000<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Team Weaknesses:<\/h3>\n<p>The biggest issue for Marquette this season has been its pedestrian defense.\u00a0The Golden Eagles are ranked 216th in field goal defense and 279th in 3-point defense this season. The Golden Eagles, who surrendered a whopping 75.0 points per game this season, had trouble protecting the glass as well. Marquette managed to corral just 33.3 rebounds per contest (293rd in Division I)\u00a0this campaign.<\/p>\n<h3>Team Stats:<\/h3>\n<table class=\"table-bordered\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Category<\/th>\n<th>Stat<\/th>\n<th>Rank<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th><strong>Points Per Game<\/strong><\/th>\n<th><strong>82.5<\/strong><\/th>\n<th>17<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th><strong>Rebounds\u00a0Per Game<\/strong><\/th>\n<th><strong>33.3<\/strong><\/th>\n<th>293<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th><strong>Assists\u00a0Per Game<\/strong><\/th>\n<th><strong>16.5<\/strong><\/th>\n<th>20<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th><strong>3-Point Percentage<\/strong><\/th>\n<th><strong>43.0<\/strong><\/th>\n<th>1<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th><strong>Free Throw Percentage<\/strong><\/th>\n<th>77.9<\/th>\n<th>7<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3>Starting Lineup:<\/h3>\n<table class=\"table-bordered\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Position<\/th>\n<th>Name<\/th>\n<th>PPG<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>C<\/th>\n<th>Matt Heldt<\/th>\n<th>2.4<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>G<\/th>\n<th><strong>Andrew Rowsey<\/strong><\/th>\n<th>11.5<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>G<\/th>\n<th><strong>Duane Wilson<\/strong><\/th>\n<th>4.8<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>G<\/th>\n<th>Sam Hauser<\/th>\n<th>8.7<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>G<\/th>\n<th>Markus Howard<\/th>\n<th>13.2<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3>Writer\u2019s Prediction:<\/h3>\n<p>Marquette (<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/basketball\/2017-ncaa-championship\" target=\"_blank\">+30,000<\/a><\/strong>)\u00a0makes a quick exit in the first round.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/6\" class=\"broken_link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Create a betting account now<\/a> and cash in on all the NCAAB action.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4zulQmTAVK722Nd7ZgqdRLk\/56\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-134651\" src=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/March_Madness_News_Banners_620x110.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"110\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"134764\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;2,164&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;2&nbsp;views today<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marquette Golden Eagles (Overall: 19-12, Conf: 10-8) Team Strengths: For the first time under the tutelage of Steve Wojciechowski, Marquette\u00a0is going to the Big Dance.
