Why Marquette can cover

Marquette sits in a tie atop the Big East standings after winning nine of its first 10 conference games. The Golden Eagles are currently riding a three-game winning streak, beating Seton Hall, Villanova and Butler by nine-plus points. Senior guard Stevie Mitchell scored a career-high 22 points to help Marquette cover the spread as an 8-point favorite against Butler on Tuesday, with 10 of his points coming in a five-minute stretch in the second half. 

Senior guard Kam Jones leads Marquette with 18.9 points, 6.3 assists and 4.6 rebounds per game, scoring in double figures in every game this season. Jones was dealing with foul trouble against Butler, but Mitchell stepped up and is now averaging 21.5 points on 66.7% shooting over his last two games. Marquette is 11-1 in its last 12 home games, while UConn has only covered the spread once in its last seven outings. See which team to pick here.
