NEW YORK – The final weekend leading up to BIG EAST action features matches against a pair of top-10 teams for Creighton and Marquette. The No. 10 Bluejays take on No. 8 Illinois in the Illini Classic on Saturday evening, while the No. 21 Golden Eagles host in-state rival No. 6 Wisconsin on Friday night in front of what should be a sold-out crowd at Al McGuire Center.
On Saturday, Creighton (6-3) will try to exact revenge on Northern Iowa, which is receiving votes, after the Panthers defeated the Bluejays during the first weekend of play.
