Marquette-Little Rock: Game updates from Fiserv Forum, starters, prediction, TV info, odds

The Marquette men's basketball team looks to shake off an ugly performance against Indiana when the Golden Eagles (2-1) take on Little Rock (1-1) on Nov. 12 at Fiserv Forum. Don't know much about the Trojans of the Ohio Valley Conference? They just lost to UW-Milwaukee, 92-72, on Nov. 10. MU has a lot to figure out. Head coach Shaka Smart has been playing all 12 available players, but ahead of a key matchup with Maryland on Nov. 15, he might want to tighten the rotation to help his team establish a rhythm. Smart will definitely be looking to see more defensive disruption after allowing the Hoosiers to score 100 points at the United Center in Chicago. It will also be interesting to watch if Smart plays Nigel James Jr. more after an impressive start to the season for the freshman guard. Follow along for live updates from Fiserv Forum: Sean Jones is out for game with injury MU junior Sean Jones, who started as point guard for the first three games, will sit out against Little Rock with a right shoulder injury. The school said Jones will be evaluated again later in the week. Jones' injury likely will give freshman guard Nigel James Jr. his first start of the season.
