Western Kentucky vs Marquette Predictions, Picks, and Odds: Hilltoppers Keep March Madness Opener Close Early
Western Kentucky has been impressive under first-year head coach Steve Lutz. The Hilltoppers got here by winning three games in three days to capture the Conference USA crown over UTEP.Shot volume has been a critical indicator of national champions over the last five years and something I've paid great attention to over these last few seasons. Shot volume is a relatively simple formula calculation based on 100 possessions without free throws.
Western can throw a few wrinkles at Marquette early in the halfcourt to avoid being overly reliant on scoring in transition. One of those places is in the post. Marquette has not been good there defensively this season, ranking near the bottom of the Big East in points per possession allowed on post-up sets. The Hilltoppers will see this as an opportunity between Babacar Faye and Rodney Howard. Those two players rank in the top 70% of scoring on post-up sets.
