Set to tipoff in Boise
Well I've found my seat courtside in the Taco Bell Arena and I'm ready for a full day of college basketball. The first game of the day is between No. 6 Marquette and No. 11 Utah State. The matchup is of particular importance to the Tigers, because if Missouri wins its opening round game, it plays the winner of this one.
Marquette was one of the nation's top teams before losing star guard Dominic James to injury. The Golden Eagles still have plenty of talent, but the morning game won't be easy against Utah State who has the clear home-court advantage.
The first tipoff is just six minutes away, so be sure to make TheManeater.com your hub for Missouri NCAA Tournament coverage.
