MARQUETTE PROBABLE LINEUP
- Nigel James (12.6 ppg, 2.8 rpg, 3.7 apg, 1.5 stl)
- Adrien Stevens (5.6 ppg, 2.2 rpg, 1.1 apg, 1.0 spg)
- Chase Ross (16.3 ppg, 3.9 rpg, 3.2 apg, 1.9 spg)
- Royce Parham (9.3 ppg, 4.7 rpg)

MARQUETTE INJURY NOTE: Redshirt junior guard Sean Jones missed Saturday’s game against UConn with a foot issue. He was declared out for that game at least three hours ahead of time in the Big East availability report, which seems to indicate that it wasn’t a game time decision. That leads me to believe he’s 50/50 at best for this game.
