Marquette has looked less than impressive in their first two games. First a hard-fought 10 point win over Division II Hillsdale in their opener. Then last night it took OT to beat Idaho State. Both of these games at home. Tonight they face Detroit -- the winner will go on to Kansas City for the CBE Classic semifinals -- chances are it will be against Bobby Knight's Texas Tech.

Their main problem is that nobody has stepped forward yet to take Steve Novak's place as a reliable outside shooter. They were awful from the perimeter.
