Three days after burying Xavier with a 25-4 run, Creighton did the same to Marquette, though it was slightly bigger (25-2 this time) and significantly faster (in 3:32, rather than 7:55). Nik Graves scored 17 of their 25 points in the run, including an Ethan Wragge-esque spurt where he made three 3’s in 40 seconds, each more ridiculous than the last.
But before all that, Marquette jumped out to a 7-0 lead in the first four minutes, as the Jays had more turnovers (4) than shot attempts (3). Ty Davis had three of those four turnovers, struggling mightily against the Golden Eagles’ pressure.
