The BMO Harris Bradley Center’s last regular season game, senior day for the team’s leading scorer and a do-or-die game with massive tournament implications all would’ve been big enough stories on their own.

It doesn’t get much more important than this for the Golden Eagles (17-12, 8-9 BIG EAST). A win over Creighton (21-9, 10-7 BIG EAST) would mean Marquette would most likely have to win only one game in the conference tournament to secure an NCAA spot. Marquette is among the first four teams out of March Madness on BracketMatrix and the seventh team out of the field in ESPN’s Bracketology.
