Marquette vs Creighton Prediction
Marquette has seen all 7 of its wins this season come at home so you can talk yourself into the free bucket. The problem is Marquette isn’t a good team. Marquette is also just 5-16 ATS on the season. Creighton beat Marquette earlier this season by 21 points. Marquette can’t score the basketball and is going up against an above average offensive team in Creighton. I don’t care where the game is being played. There’s a gap between these clubs. I’ll lay the bucket with Creighton.
