Colorado vs Marquette Picks & Prediction
Colorado staved off Florida, 102-100 on a jumper in the final seconds of a wild game to advance to the round of 32.
The Buffaloes will face 2nd-seeded Marquette, who erased an early 10-point deficit to eventually rout Western Kentucky, 87-69 as 15-point favorites.
Second-team All-American guard Tyler Kolek returned to the Eagles' lineup and scored 18 points to go along with 11 assists after missing three games with an oblique injury.
Colorado is listed as an underdog for the first time in seven games, as the Buffs are 2-4 SU/ATS this season in this role.
Dating back to December, Marquette has won and covered in eight of 10 opportunities as a single-digit favorite, while posting a perfect 11-0 SU/ATS mark in its last 11 games in the chalk role.
Pick: Marquette -4 (-110)
