Who's Playing
Creighton @ Marquette
Current Records: Creighton 9-3; Marquette 8-5
What to Know
A Big East battle is on tap between the Marquette Golden Eagles and the Creighton Bluejays at noon ET Saturday at Fiserv Forum. The teams split their matchups last year, with Marquette winning the first 89-84 on the road and Creighton taking the second 71-68.
The Golden Eagles came up short against the Connecticut Huskies last week, falling 78-70. The top scorer for Marquette was forward Justin Lewis (20 points).
Meanwhile, Creighton took their contest against the Villanova Wildcats two weeks ago by a conclusive 79-59 score. Creighton got double-digit scores from four players: forward Ryan Hawkins (19), guard Ryan Nembhard (14), guard Alex O'Connell (12), and guard Trey Alexander (10). Hawkins had some trouble finding his footing against the Arizona State Sun Devils two weeks ago, so this was a step in the right direction.
Barring any buzzer beaters, the Golden Eagles are expected to win a tight contest. But bettors beware: they are only 1-3 against the spread when favored.
Creighton's win lifted them to 9-3 while Marquette's loss dropped them down to 8-5. Two weeks ago the Bluejays relied heavily on Ryan Hawkins, who posted a double-double on 19 points and 11 boards. It will be up to Marquette's defense to limit his damage.
