Game Preview - November 13 vs. Idaho State - CBE First Round

So tonight begins the College Basketball Experience-CBE-with Marquette taking on Idaho State. The CBE consists of four regionals-Marquette, Texas Tech, Stanford, and Duke-with four teams each. First round winners will square off for the regional championships, and the four regional champions will go to Kansas City for the final two rounds.

Marquette will be looking to live up to its early season hype after struggling to a ten point win over Hillsdale on Friday. Wesley Matthews will try to get back the shooting touch he had in leading the 17th ranked Warriors in scoring in the exhibition against Cardinal Stritch. Limiting turnovers and taking smart shots will be key for the Warriors to play as well as they know they can.

This is a tournament that the Warriors can win, however a lackluster effort will leave them at home instead of Kansas City. That shouldn't be a problem, so look for them on ESPN2 in the championship next week.

Prediction: 84-69 Marquette
