Game Overview
Marquette Golden Eagles (3-1) host Maryland Terrapins (2-1) in a non-conference matchup at Fiserv Forum. Marquette enters as favorites, with both teams coming off strong offensive performances but facing a step up in competition. The game is set for 2 p.m. ET (19:00 UTC) and will be broadcast on Peacock.
Key Factors to Consider
- Marquette averages 86.5 points per game this season, shooting 45.6% from the field and 33.3% from three, but allowed 100 points to Indiana in their only loss. Maryland averages 81.1 points per game (26th nationally) and allows 67.2 points per game (45th nationally). Marquette’s defense ranks 74th in points allowed, while Maryland’s ranks 45th. Marquette’s offense is led by Chase Ross (18.3 ppg, 8.5 rpg), while Maryland’s Pharrel Payne averages 20 ppg and 8 rpg. Marquette’s recent win over Little Rock (89-49) showed offensive dominance, but their defense remains a concern.
- The series is tied 1-1. Last season, Marquette won 78-74 in College Park as a 2.5-point underdog. Marquette’s victory last year was close, indicating Maryland can compete even on the road.
- No key injuries reported for Marquette. Maryland’s roster is also at full strength.
- Marquette has a strong home-court advantage at Fiserv Forum. Maryland is playing its first road game of the season, which could impact their performance. The game is part of a busy early-season schedule for both teams, with Marquette facing Dayton and Central Michigan next, and Maryland heading to Las Vegas for a tough stretch.
- Marquette is motivated to bounce back from their loss to Indiana and prove they can handle quality opponents. Maryland is looking to build momentum after a win over Alcorn State and wants to show they can compete away from home.
