Marquette at Creighton: Updates from CHI Health Center, odds, prediction

The Marquette men’s basketball team will try to avoid a 0-2 hole in the Big East when it plays Creighton (6-5, 1-0) on Dec. 20 at CHI Health Center in Omaha, Nebraska.

MU lost to Georgetown, 78-69, in the Big East opener on Dec. 17 at Fiserv Forum. The last time the Golden Eagles (5-7) lost their first two conference games was the 2021-22 season when they started 0-3 in Shaka Smart’s first season as head coach.

Marquette vs Creighton prediction

Creighton’s home arena is a tough place to play for any team, much less a struggling one like the Golden Eagles. The Bluejays are coming off a hot-shooting, 98-57 destruction at Xavier. With so many shooters, Creighton will stress MU’s defense, and the Golden Eagles don’t have much offense to hang. This one could be over quickly.
