I'm looking forward to their game with MSU... if McNeal were playing, I'd give the nod to Marquette. He's their nastiest defender, and takes the ball really hard to the hole. Dominic James has the talen to win the game single handedly for Marquette, but has been in a serious shooting slump. I think MSU will squeak this one out.

Word is that Marquette's second leading scorer and assist man is out with a bad thumb. That doesn't look good for the Golden Eagles, who would struggle in the next game against UNC even if they beat Michigan State.
