(NCAAB) Marquette vs. Creighton,
Point Spread: 7.00 | -110.00 Marquette (Away)
Result: Win
Marquette is a balanced team who plays tough defense. The Golden Eagles put up an average of 74.2 points per game on the year, putting them 158th in the nation in scoring offense, so they are solid enough offensively. Marquette hauls down 41.7 rebounds a night while dishing out 13.7 assists per contest. The Golden Eagles have been solid defensively in the early going as they are 62nd in scoring defense, allowing 63.2 points per game. Koby McEwen leads the team with 15.3 points plus 4.3 rebounds per contest. Dawson Garcia chips in 12.7 points plus 5.5 rebounds per contest while D.J. Carton chips in 10.3 points plus 3.5 assists a night. Creighton is a good team at home but I think this one will be close throughout and I like the dog with Marq.
