Pick
I’m backing Marquette with the points here. This should be interesting to see how Creighton fares in the rematch after having not had a lot of their top players in the first meeting but I think even if Creighton wins this game, Marquette is talented enough to keep this one close, like a game that comes down to the last shot so give me Marquette and the points here.
