No. 9 Creighton extends winning streak to 19 to reach Big East Tourney Championship rematch with No. 16 Marquette

364 days ago, Creighton outlasted Marquette in a five-set thrill ride in Milwaukee to win their fourth consecutive Big East Tournament title. On Saturday, the Golden Eagles will be across the net again as the Bluejays go for the fifth. Both teams were victorious on Friday in their Big East Tournament semifinal matches. 16th-ranked Marquette dropped set one to St. John’s, but bounced back to win the next three to eliminate the 23-win Red Storm club. Immediately following that, 9th-ranked Creighton made quick work of Villanova as they swept the Wildcats 25-17, 25-17, 25-19 in front of over 2,000 fans at D.
