Creighton Blue Jays
Creighton got a week off after winning back-to-back games for the first time since late-January. The Jays won at DePaul and then took down Georgetown at home in a clinic on how to space out a defense.
The Jays can still do that awfully well. They are shooting over 40 percent from 3-point land this season, which is fourth in the nation; though they are just the fourth-best in the Big East during conference play, down around 36 percent. They rank first in Big East play on shots from 2-point range.

This game may come down to turnovers. Both offenses will be really hard to stop and, though Marquette has the better scoring defense, takeaways will be a powerful weapon. Creighton is middle-of-the-pack, both nationally and in the conference, in terms of turnovers, both offensively and defensively.
Marquette Golden Eagles
Marquette is actually a little worse than that. Turnovers are not a strength of this team, both in limiting them on offense and forcing them on defense. In this week’s loss at Villanova, Marquette turned it over 17 times and took it away just seven times from ‘Nova.
Markus Howard is a big reason why. For as much good as the junior who leads the Big East in scoring gives his team, he turns it over four times a game (matching his assists) and doesn’t play lock-down defense, either.

Howard scored 53 in Marquette’s first win against Creighton this season, 106–104, in overtime. The two sides combined to go 33-for-61 from 3-point range in that game, though Creighton spread out the scoring with four guys combining to get 79.
A game up on Villanova in the conference standings, Marquette finishes at Seton Hall and vs. Georgetown next week, trying to lock up the regular season title.

Free Creighton Blue Jays vs. Marquette Golden Eagles NCAAB Prediction: it stays under this time.
The public is going to bet this game up, especially given the first matchup. Both teams have played slower lately, though, and I see this one being down in the 70s or 80s.
