The Marquette Golden Eagles will travel to Omaha, Nebraska on Monday to face No. 8 Creighton for their first conference game of the 2020-21 season.
The Golden Eagles are 4-2 and are coming off a loss against UCLA Friday. The Bluejays are 4-1 on the season, losing to No. 5 Kansas Dec. 8. They are currently undefeated at home and have earned wins against North Dakota State, Nebraska-Omaha, Kennesaw State and Nebraska.
This matchup could very well be a defensive battle, with two of the top defenses in the BIG EAST going head-to-head. Both teams rank top five in the conference in opposing field goal percentage, defensive rebounds, blocked shots and scoring margin.
