Pete Fiutak writes: "The scoring comes from all spots on the Marquette offense, but it’ll be the depth and bulk to hold up against DJ Burns inside. The time off will matter. Marquette was fine in the win over Colorado, but the defensive quickness should be even more pronounced in this. Finally, the NC State run of great field goal defense will end, but it’ll still be a fight throughout. Marquette will hit the threes NC State won’t."
