A top-25 matchup in Milwaukee between two Big East powerhouses caps off a loaded slate of men’s college basketball games on Saturday.

Dan Hurley’s Huskies have been one of the more inconsistent teams in college basketball this season, having lost three of their six games, despite holding ranked wins against Baylor and Gonzaga. One of the reasons for UConn’s struggles of late can be pointed to the loss of star freshman Liam McNeeley, who has been out with a high ankle sprain since the start of January. The Huskies are coming off a 72-61 win over DePaul on Wednesday.

To pull out a top-10 ranked win on Saturday, UConn will have to stop National Player of the Year contender Kam Jones. The Memphis native is averaging 18.9 points and 6.3 assists per game this season, the latter of which ranks 15th nationally. Another player to look out for on Marquette is Stevie Mitchell , who has scored 20 or more points in each of the two games and averaging 2.9 steals in the Golden Eagles’ last eight games.

Prediction: Marquette 80, UConn 76

This feels like a toss-up, given Marquette’s struggles in the first half of each of its last three games and the fact UConn is always in the game under Hurley. But with the Huskies expected to be without McNeeley again on Saturday, look for Jones and Mitchell to push Marquette over the line for a top-20 win at home.
