Marquette Golden Eagles vs. Creighton Bluejays Prediction

I’m on Creighton here. Marquette just hasn’t looked right this season and I think this was a Creighton spot regardless of the result against Xavier. The Bluejays smashed the Musketeers and I think the home court is going to be buzzing for this game. I think Creighton wins this one in a statement performance. Give me the Bluejays.
