Creighton vs Marquette Prediction

These two teams are both 5-5 ATS in the last 10 series meetings with Creighton going 6-4 SU, but Marquette winning 3 of the last 4, including the last meeting here at the Fiserv Center, 72-67, barely covering ATS (by 1.5) as 3.5-Point Home Favorites. The Under is 7-3-0 over that span and has won 4 of the last 5 meetings, including that game in Cheese City which saw 139 points put up on the scoreboard (155.5). As a matter of fact, the last 5 meetings at Marquette have all gone Under the Total, by 16.5, 27, 1 (OT), 6.5, and 18 points, so even though Creighton +10.5 looks appetizing, let’s side with another Under for this Creighton vs Marquette NCAAB pick because of this Site Under Trend. A meeting here went to OT and it still didn’t even go Over. That really says something.
