Marquette/Stanford question

The line for the Marquette/Stanford game is out Stanford -2.5, I'd knida like to make an early bet on this game before the line moves too much, unfortunately I just haven't seen to much of Marquette on the court this year. I know they have 3 quick guards and play a pressure style of defense (which by the way will give Stanford major fits). What do they have inside do they have anything that can match up with the Lopez twins?

2 opposite teams, Marquette has little inside but of course a solid backcourt.

they dont have anything size wise as big, but they hit the glass hard, very good offensive rebounding team...however the matchup between the guards is where marquette should win the game

I really am thinking about betting Marquette on the ML big time in this game...I think if they have good defensive guards and pressure the ball they can really make it tough for Stanford to get the ball into the Lopez twins and take advantage of their advantage inside.

I actually think Stanford matches up well. Marquette will have problems with the Lopez twins.

Yes, but I've seen this Stanford team, when there is good pressure on the ball around the perimeter, really have trouble even making the pass to the post. Their ball handling is mediocre at best.

Big East has the most teams remaining in the tournament!! I have to say this is no fluke. The play here is Marquette !!!

now its starting to go like I envisioned it. Stanford desperately needs Brook Lopez back on the court.
