Marquette vs New Mexico Analysis
One of the best one-on-one matchups you will find in the entirety of the first round pits Marquette point guard Kam Jones against New Mexico floor leader Donovan Dent. The two All-Americans have their fingerprints over every part of their teams’ success, and both rank in the top 25 nationally in assist rate.
Thanks to those two taking care of the rock plus pressure defenses, both teams are accustomed to winning the turnover battle. Thus, the matchup will likely be decided by whoever can outduel the other in that department.
For that reason, I’m expecting Marquette to pick up a big victory here. The Golden Eagles have gone toe-to-toe with another pressure team, St. John’s, twice in the last two weeks.
New Mexico, meanwhile, has not faced a team remotely similar to Marquette’s pressure in all of Mountain West play.
Only Utah State ranks in the top 40 of defensive turnover rate, and the Aggies do it via a tricky zone. Marquette, meanwhile, can throw tremendous pressure defenders Chase Ross and Stevie Mitchell at Dent. That could turn the water off for a high-octane New Mexico offense.
The Pick: Marquette -3.5
