Creighton vs Marquette Prediction

I’m on Creighton here. I think Creighton’s earned the respect to be favored in a marquee spot like this. I know that the Golden Eagles under Shaka Smart aren’t necessarily a great fade as an underdog, but as of late, Marquette has had issues making the step up in class in conference play. Creighton is flat out rolling right now and I think in a battle of two of the top-4 teams in the Big East, the home court could end up being the difference in this one. The Bluejays match up well with Marquette here and I need to see Marquette be able to knock off one of the Big Boys before I can get back on track here, especially in what’s a revenge spot for Creighton after a loss to Marquette earlier this year. Give me Creighton laying the bucket at home here.
