Why Marquette can cover

Marquette took the lead against Purdue with 12 minutes remaining in the first half on Tuesday and never surrendered it. Veteran guard Kam Jones had 17 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists, becoming just the third player in school history to record a triple-double. He helped snap Purdue's 39-game regular-season winning streak against non-conference opponents, which was the fourth-longest in NCAA history. 

Jones and Stevie Mitchell have been with the program for four years, and they have a chance to lead Marquette to its first 6-0 start since 2011-12. Jones is averaging a team-high 22.6 points and 6.0 assists per game, while Mitchell is chipping in 13.6 points per game. The Golden Eagles have covered the spread in four of their last five games, and Georgia has lost nine straight games played on a Saturday. See which team to pick here.
