Marquette will host Creighton tomorrow night at Valley Fields with massive implications as both teams attempt to secure a spot in the BIG EAST Tournament in two weeks.
If the season ended today, Marquette would be the final team to qualify for the conference tournament. Meanwhile, Creighton, at eight, and one point above Marquette, would occupy the fifth slot. Three teams are tied in seventh with six points, and just four points separate seventh place from third place.
CURRENT BIG EAST STANDINGS (As of Oct. 24)
1 (tie). Georgetown (5-1), Butler (5-1), 15 points
