Missouri’s shooting faces a different test

Missouri has averaged 97.0 points through three games, shooting 53% from the field and 44% from three. Jason Crowe Jr. leads the Tigers with 21.7 points and 4.3 assists per game, while Bryson Tiller averages 8.3 rebounds. That production gives Missouri several ways to sustain its offense.

The Tigers opened with a 111-50 win over Cleveland State, then lost 90-84 to Saint Louis at a neutral site in St. Louis. They answered with a 96-58 win over SIU Edwardsville. Those results show how much damage Missouri can do when it takes control, but the Saint Louis game also shows that scoring freely has not guaranteed a win. Facing another neutral-site opponent, the question is whether Missouri can keep its attack productive if the game stays competitive deeper into the second half.

Marquette seeks a response after Michigan

Marquette has allowed 53.0 points per game through three outings and averages 43.3 rebounds, both notable counters to Missouri’s offense. The Golden Eagles score 80.3 points per game, with Royce Parham averaging a team-high 12.0. Their 30% three-point shooting makes work around the basket and on the glass especially important.

Marquette’s first two games were comfortable home wins: 78-43 over Mercyhurst and 93-32 over Detroit Mercy. The picture changed on its trip to Michigan, where the Golden Eagles lost 84-70. That result puts their earlier defensive performances in context without erasing them; they have shown they can limit opponents, but their most recent game was considerably tougher. The neutral court offers a chance to respond, though Marquette will need a more convincing answer to a team capable of putting points on the board than it found against Michigan.

BTB Betting Pick

Winner pick: Missouri Tigers.

Missouri’s stronger shooting and higher scoring average give it a narrow edge, particularly if Crowe keeps the offense moving. Marquette’s rebounding and defensive start make this a difficult matchup to call.
