Two games ago against UConn, they lost 77-69, and in the last game against St John’s, they ended up losing by six points. At halftime against St Jonh’s, they were actually up by one point, but in the second half, they blew it. Kadary Richmond Jr had a strong game putting up 18 points, 11 rebounds, and eight assists. In this game they need to play a more complete game, something that didn’t happen on Tuesday.

They are averaging 62.61 field goals attempted per game which is 35th in the league. They like to push the pace. Kam Jones is averaging 18.8 points while shooting 48.9 percent from the field and 31.7 percent from behind the three-point line. Marquette will face DePaul and Seton Hall following this one.

Creighton Has All Kinds of Momentum

Creighton has all kinds of momentum right now and they have won eight straight games. The last loss came against Marquette and that was by eight points. Creighton faced off against Providence in the last game, and they scored 80 points on the way to the 11-point victory. Ryan Kalkbrenner had a huge game putting up 35 points, and 12 rebounds. Steven Ashworth put up 23 points, six rebounds, and six assists.

Marquette vs Creighton Prediction 

Creighton is going to get the job done here. Yes, they already lost to Marquette this season, but the teams are in two separate places now. This Creighton offense is playing with all kinds of confidence and it’s because they have used a balanced attack night in and night out. Marquette’s defense is going to really struggle here, and it will be Creighton who will end up getting the job done. Back Creighton against the spread here. I think they will win this game by at least seven points.
