Creighton vs. Marquette Predictions
Creighton has been met with injuries, a tough nonconference schedule, and inconsistencies this season. However, the Bluejays are still an NCAA tournament contender, and they play really well at home. Creighton has won all eight Big East games in Omaha this season, most recently beating Villanova, No. 16 Xavier, and St. John’s.
Marquette won the first matchup between these teams, outlasting Creighton 69-58 at home. However, the Bluejays didn’t have big man Ryan Kalkbrenner, and they have been playing much better since he returned to the lineup. For as good as Marquette has been this season, the Golden Eagles haven’t been great on the road against ranked teams. In fact, Marquette has lost its last three games in that regard: at Providence on Dec. 20, at Xavier on Jan. 15, and at UConn on Feb. 7.
The crowd in the CHI Center will be rocking for this one, and Creighton should come away with a home victory (and cover the spread) in this entertaining battle.
