Point Spread: 4.50 | -110.00 Marquette (Home)
Result: Win
Kansas is coming into this game with a 4-0 record this season and they are ranked 1st in the country currently. Kansas had a very good team last season as they finished ranked 4th in the country but they also lost their 2 leading scorers from last season to the NBA. They made some good moves in the transfer portal to replace what they lost but they still struggled in their only competitive game this season. They have 3 wins this year by 10+ points against teams much weaker in talent but their 1 game against a ranked opponent was very close as they only beat number 17 Kentucky by 5 points at a neutral location. They are going up against a Marquette team that is also 4-0 this season and is ranked number 4 in the country right now. Marquette also had a very good season last year as they were a big surprise finishing ranked 6th in the country. They are also returning over 80% of their minutes played as well as their scoring from last year so they are going to be motivated to improve even more and have an even better season than the one they are coming off of. They also have some very good wins as they have 2 wins at home by 10+ points but they also have a road win against number 23 Illinois by 7 points and they are coming off of a win against UCLA at a neutral location in their last game as well. Marquette is going to be motivated here to show that they are one of the best in the country and there is no better way to do that than to take down the team ranked number 1. Marquette has the better team here and they are going to win this game straight up or at least keep it very close if they do lose the game. Marquette will cover the spread here.
