This is an 8* play on Creighton

Marquette (12-3) is ranked 21st in the country coming into this game and has some really nice wins this year. They're the only team to beat Buffalo (did so 103-85) and have also beaten the likes of Kansas State, Louisville and Wisconsin. Sunday saw the Golden Eagles blow out Xavier 70-52. But the common theme of most of their big wins this year is that they came at home. They have played only two true road games and both times they were blown out. It was a 23-point loss to Indiana and a 20-point loss to St. John's. The team they face tonight is Creighton and the Blue Jays should be happy to be back home after opening Big East play with a pair of road games. They split the pair, winning at Providence, but losing at Butler. This is a situation where the home team has major revenge as Creighton is 0-4 straight up and against the spread vs. Marquette the previous two seasons. But both games last year were decided by just four points. Creighton is a strong offensive team, averaging 83.7 points per game, and they shoot the ball exceptionally well (51.6%). All offensive numbers are even better at home as well. Play on CREIGHTON
