[Paint Touches] Is MU really the Big East Title favorite?

[Carl]

Xavier is the current betting favorite at -115 to win the BE regular season. Marquette 2nd behind them at +170. I consider this a bit of a rare departure from Vegas reliance on Kenpom predictive analytics and (as crazy as it would have sounded a couple months ago) some decent, not super great, value on Marquette at +170. Xavier certainly overpriced though. What really blows my hair back is Marquette priced in at 8-1 to make the Final Four (40-1 to win it all).

I'm fairly sure that Wales was my first meal after arriving at Marquette. That place was great.

Absolutely.  We used to go there a lot during the late 80s.  Sad to see most of the Wells Street places gone.  Long live Real Chili.

They are only the betting favorite because they currently have 1 less loss. That will change Wednesday and it should be tied at +130 or Marquette given the nod given Xaviers remaining opponents.
