- Marquette is coming off a 100+ point performance on Friday as the Golden Eagles downed Providence 105-75.
- Sunday's matchup will feature two of the top freshmen in the BIG EAST this season. Audrey Faber leads Creighton in scoring this season (15.3 ppg), while Allazia Blockton (18.9 ppg) is atop the scoring column for Marquette.
- The Bluejays are considered a young team with three sophomores and one freshman in the starting lineup. Yet Marquette takes that notion to the extreme by starting four freshmen and one junior.

Scouting Marquette (8-11, 3-5 BIG EAST)
In a league full of young squads, the Marquette Golden Eagles are one of the most youthful. Of the 11 players on the Marquette roster, eight are freshmen. The remaining three feature two juniors and one sophomore.
Further four of the Golden Eagles starting five are in their first year of college. Marquette's coach equally brings a youthful exuberance as Carolyn Kieger graduated from MU in 2006.
Marquette has played a young team, posting impressive numbers against Oregon State earlier this season (a 65-58 loss) and topping the 100-point mark twice. One of those contests was Friday against Providence (105-75). Allazia Blockton and Natisha Hiedeman lead the way for the Golden Eagles with 18.9 ppg and 14.2 ppg respectively.

Keys to the Game w/Marquette
- Defend every possession: The Golden Eagles do not defend particularly well, they'd prefer to play a game in the 80s-90s. Creighton wants to keep the game in the 60s-70s.
- Take care of the basketball: High
- scoring games are boosted by poor ball security. Creighton has to take care of the ball to prevent fast break chances.
- Spread out the scoring load: The Bluejays are at their best when three or more players reach double figures. To do that Creighton must move the ball and create shots for multiple players, not rely on Faber and McGrory.
