Marquette Golden Eagles vs West Virginia Mountaineers
The Golden Eagles go into this one with a 69% winning record, and naturally as underdogs against the West Virginia Mountaineers. Marquette will be sure to keep an eye on the current West Virginia streak (Lost 1), and take necessary precautions. The Golden Eagles are averaging 81.5 ppg this season (good for number 15 in the NCAA), and better than the Mountaineers’s 76.6 ppg average in the 2010-2011 NCAA season.
Playing on the road, the Mountaineers will need to play to their strengths and their 4.7 blocks per game is their strongest statistical attribute (and good for number 50 in the whole NCAA Division 1). The West Virginia are 8-3 this season overall (0-1 in the Big East Conference) and today will hope to improve their 3 – 2 record away from WVU Coliseum.
Marquette have been dominating their opponents this season in the field goal percentage departement. Their 50.2 field goal percentage is the number 7 best among the 350 colleges in the NCAA D1, and that will be an area that the West Virginia coaching staff will want to balance out today if they want to dampen Marquette’s 8 – 1 home record. After 13 games, the Golden Eagles hopeful will be counting for a victory to improve their standing in the Big East Conference.The 18,717 expected fans in the Bradley Center will be in for a treat today and if you want to join them and watch Marquette Golden Eagles vs West Virginia Mountaineers online live streaming on ESPN3 or on your TV – then make sure to tune in at 11:00 ET today.
