Creighton vs Marquette Prediction & Pick

It's been a while since these team last met on the court as Marquette defeated Creighton by a score of 69-58 back on Dec. 16 inside Fiserv Forum. Keep in mind that the Bluejays were at the end of a six-game losing streak at that point, though, and are on the other side of the momentum spectrum now.

Creighton is riding an eight-game home winning streak and the margin of victory in those games is a solid 14.8 points. The Bluejays have thrive at CHI Health Center Omaha, averaging 78.4 points per game on a 48.6% shooting percentage. That is not going to be easy for the Golden Eagles to match.

Creighton has won nine of its last 11 games against a Big East foe, so give me the Bluejays here.

Final Score Prediction: Creighton: 80 | Marquette: 75

Creighton vs Marquette Best Bet

This game has shootout written all over it. Both Marquette and Creighton rank among the top 50 teams when it comes to shooting percentage, points per game and offensive efficiency. Not only that, but there are 11 players in this game averaging at least 11.7 points per game on the season.

That depth is scary. Creighton shoots 75.7% from the free throw line (No. 41 in NCAA) and Marquette logs 42.0 second half points per game (No. 9 in NCAA), too. A close game down the stretch helps the over. The total has hit the over in each of the Golden Eagles' last six away games against the Bluejays.

Bet: Over 148.5 Points (-110)
