Lay the points with Marquette on their home court on Friday night. The Golden Eagles are 5-2-1 ATS at home this season. They are coming off of a dominating victory coming out of the holiday break. Creighton has been up and down all season, as they’ll win a few in a row then lose a few in a row. Where Marquette has a huge advantage over Creighton is in the turnover game. The Golden Eagles rank 2nd in turnovers giving away the ball just 8.9 times per game, meanwhile the Bluejays rank 302nd, giving up the ball 13.8 times per game.
