Marquette at Villanova: Game updates, starting lineup, prediction

VILLANAOVA, PA - The Marquette men's basketball team is still looking for its first victory on the road this season.

The latest chance for the Golden Eagles (9-15, 4-9 Big East) comes against Villanova (18-5, 9-3) on Feb. 10 at Finneran Pavilion.

MU has never lost at Villanova's on-campus venue in head coach Shaka Smart's four seasons. Last season's loss to the Wildcats came at Wells Fargo Arena.

Follow along for live updates:

Marquette's probable starters

Guards: Nigel James Jr., Adrien Stevens, Chase ROss

Marquette at Villanova

The first meeting between the teams on Jan. 10 left the Golden Eagles lamenting their missed chances in the final minutes of a 76-73 loss at Fiserv Forum. MU has gotten a lot better since then, with the team leaning into its young talent in James, Parham, and Stevens. But MU isn't quite ready to beat a good team in a hostile environment.

Prediction: Villanova: Villanova 75, MU 68
