What to Know
The Marquette Golden Eagles haven’t won a game against the Creighton Bluejays since Dec. 14 of 2020, but they’ll be looking to end the drought on Thursday. Marquette and Creighton are set to clash at 2:30 p.m. ET March 10 at Madison Square Garden in the second round of the Big East Conference Tourney. The Golden Eagles will be strutting in after a win while the Bluejays will be stumbling in from a defeat.
Marquette was able to grind out a solid victory over the St. John’s Red Storm this past Saturday, winning 85-77. It was another big night for Marquette’s forward Justin Lewis, who had 28 points in addition to seven boards.
Meanwhile, Creighton was within striking distance but couldn’t close the gap this past Saturday as they fell 65-60 to the Seton Hall Pirates. Guard Alex O’Connell had a pretty forgettable game, playing for 36 minutes but putting up just six points on 1-for-11 shooting.
Creighton’s loss took them down to 20-10 while Marquette’s win pulled them up to 19-11. We’ll see if the Bluejays can steal the Golden Eagles’ luck or if Marquette records another victory instead.
