It’s clear that Trey McKenney is expected to take a step forward and become a big part of Michigan’s production this season. He played 22.1 minutes per game, scoring 9.9 points per contest as a freshman, but through the first two games this season, he’s already averaging 35.5 minutes and 19.5 points per game.<\/p>\n
Marquette vs. Michigan Prediction and Pick<\/p>\n
Looking at the metrics for both teams heading into this game isn’t going to give us a great picture of what to expect. Marquette got to face two of the worst teams in college basketball, while Michigan already had to play against a National Championship contender in UConn.<\/p>\n
The fact of the matter is that Marquette should certainly be an improved team from a year ago. Nigel James Jr. is expected to be one of the best players in the Big East as a sophomore, and they have plenty of other young talent that stuck around from last year’s team. Unfortunately, that’s not enough to compete with the defending National Champions.<\/p>\n
Michigan may have faltered against UConn, but this is still an elite team led by Trey McKenny and Elliot Cadeau. The fact that they are already battle-tested against the Huskies should go a long way for them tonight, while Marquette will be facing its first tough challenge of the season.<\/p>\n
I’ll back Michigan as a home favorite.<\/p>\n
