Big men battling early
Both teams came out with a case of the jitters and struggled to score early. It looks like this one may come down to a battle of the the big men.
The Golden Eagles and the Aggies have worked slow, methodical offenses that run inside out. Dwight Burke for Marquette and Gary Wilkinson of USU have battled hard in the paint.
Burke's presence has made more of the impact as he's opened up quality looks from 3-point range. The Golden Eagles are three of four from distance early and have now opened up a 13-7 advantage.
