UConn is ranked number one for a reason, boasting the 25th-best scoring offense in the country while ranking 18th in opponents' points per game. The Huskies don't stop there either, dominating in nearly every facet of the game, including rebounding, where they average more than eight rebounds than their opponent. 

The Golden Eagles, on the other hand, don't dominate in any area of the game and are just better than average in every part of their game. Marquette really struggles in the rebounding department, averaging only 33.3 a game, which is good for 300th in all of college basketball. 

UConn has their entire starting five averaging over 10 points per game and is led by Cam Spencer with 15.2 points per game.

Marquette will be led by Tyler Kolek, who averages 16.1 points a game and has scored 27 points in his last two games. 

This matchup will be played at 3 p.m. on Saturday.
