CHICAGO – The Marquette men’s basketball team gets its first significiant test of the season when it takes on Indiana at noon on Nov. 9 at the United Center.

Marquette’s probable starters
Guards: Sean Jones, Chase Ross, Zaide Lowery
Forwards: Ben Gold, Caedin Hamilton
Marquette-Indiana prediction
Indiana is a smart passing team with center Reed Bailey and has a knockdown shooter in Tucker DeVries. MU’s defense could get overly aggressive and give those two players holes to exploit. This will be a fun one with both teams willing to get up and down.
Predicted score: Indiana 83, Marquette 80
