Scouting Marquette (9-5, 3-0 BE)
One of three BIG EAST squads to reach the NCAA tournament last season, the Golden Eagles come to Omaha as the last unbeaten team in the BIG EAST at 3-0.
The Golden Eagles have won five of six led by 19.6 ppg from Allazia Blockton. Marquette,
however, is much more than one player as four others enter Sunday's battle averaging double figures.
The Golden Eagles are at their best when
pushing the basketball and getting into transition. On the season Marquette has forced 202 turnovers, 14.4 per game.
Keys Against Marquette
In six games at D.J. Sokol Arena Creighton has been at its best, dropping only the battle with #13 Florida State. Defending their home court the Bluejays hit 17 three-pointers against Florida State, upended #18 Villanova and outlasted Northern Iowa in overtime.
One key to Creighton's success in Omaha has been the play of Audrey Faber and Olivia Elger. The duo are averaging 22.3 ppg and 14.4 ppg at D.J. Sokol Arena.
No Rest for the Weary
In the midst of a stretch of seven BIG EAST games in 17 days, the turnaround for this battle with Marquette will be the toughest. Creighton played St. John's on Friday night, leaving Carnesecca Arena at approximately 10:00 pm. The Bluejays bused to a hotel in Newark, checking in near midnight. Just over six hours later Creighton boarded a flight home.
From the end of the battle with the Red Storm to the scheduled tip with the Golden Eagles, the Bluejays will have approximately 40 hours of recovery and prep time.

Keys Against Marquette
- Control the Pace: The Bluejays need to run at times, but cannot allow Marquette to turn the game into a track meet.
- Get Faber Going: During the New York/New Jersey trip Audrey Faber was limited to just 14 points. To best the Golden Eagles, the Bluejays will need her firing on all cylinders.
- Rebound: The Bluejays allowed the contest at St. John's to get away as Creighton was out rebounded by 17.
