tOSU @ Marquette, Sat 11/16 @ 1p ET

agreed 100% just saying marq was making jumpers and we seem to be a little off so far.
Not to pile on (late to the conversation) but 117 points is a one game sample. Their first game they only beat Southern University by 7 at home. In that game they only made 13 shots from the field (36% shooting) compared to Southern's 21. The score reminds me of the OSU games vs. VMI... shoot the ball withing 10-15 seconds of your possession and put up as many shots as possible. I'd be Marquette's shot chart was predominantly in the paint vs. Grambling.

EDIT: Yep, Marquette scored 76 points in the paint. Box Score

The way these games are being called and played early in the season, if they can hit their free throws at a 70-75% clip like they did the first two games they'll be ok. As a point of interest... both OSU and Marquette have played two games each and all their games have been on their home court. OSU is 54-73 from the free throw line (74%), Marquette is 52-84 (62%).
