9PM: Marquette -10 (3 Units).

Creighton has one of the best Centers in College Basketball, but they lack an explosive player that can create his own shot. They lost both of their leading scorers from last year and failed to replace them. It'll be a long day on the road against an elite Marquette defense just like it was at Home against St. John's their last time out. They came away with a 57-56 Win despite turning it over 17 times and shooting 41.5% from the Field. St. John's had 15 more shot attempts and just 1 less free throw. They shot even worse from the field at 36.8%. The last time Creighton went on the road was at Georgetown on December 18th and they got boat raced 57-81, turning the ball over 16 times. They're 306th in turnovers per game while Marquette ranks 10th in opponent turnovers per game. Creighton's better on defense but they're only 41st in defensive rating while Marquette's 12th in offensive rating. Marquette's also won each of its last 2 Home games against Creighton by 5 and 9 points. Those were significantly better Creighton squads that finished the year ranked 11th and 12th overall.
