The Marquette men’s basketball team entered Friday night’s Big East home opener in search of its first win against Creighton at Fiserv Forum since 2017.
Though the Bluejays were without 7-foot-1 center Ryan Kalkbrenner for the third straight game, the Golden Eagles managed to achieve that goal by defeating Creighton 69-58.
“I’m really grateful for our fans and our students for terrific support tonight,” Marquette head coach Shaka Smart said. “It was great energy in the building. Thought (we) were better on defense than we were on offense tonight, which, we kind of been the other way around for most of the season.
