MARQUETTE PROBABLE LINEUP

- Adrien Stevens (6.3 ppg, 2.0 rpg, 1.2 apg, 1.1 spg)

- Caedin Hamilton (4.8 ppg, 4.5 rpg)
MARQUETTE INJURY NOTE: So we’re all the same page, Zaide Lowery didn’t play against Georgetown not because of injury but because as head coach Shaka Smart put it after the game:
“We’re continuing to try to evaluate and figure out what the best lineups are and what guys we need to have in the game. From the standpoint, first and foremost, of who truly wants to pour into the other four guys with him out on the floor and be all in on Marquette. So that goes into who we play.”
CREIGHTON PROBABLE LINEUP
- Ty Davis (2.0 ppg, 1.4 rpg, 1.5 apg)
- Austin Swartz (7.4 ppg, 2.8 rpg, 1.5 apg)
- Josh Dix (12.0 ppg, 3.2 rpg, 2.9 apg)
- Jasen Green (9.1 ppg, 4.7 rpg, 2.8 apg)
- Isaac Traudt (6.9 ppg, 2.8 rpg)
CREIGHTON INJURY NOTE: Freshman forward Hudson Greer started the season expecting to redshirt, then the season ending injury to Jackson McAndrew prompted the Bluejays to actually play Greer. Then Greer suffered a foot injury that had him in a walking boot, and two weeks ago, head coach Greg McDermott said that the team would re-evaluate Greer “in a couple of weeks.” The 6’7” Greer averaged 8.0 points and 4.3 rebounds while shooting 46% behind the arc in the four games he played. For what it’s worth, Creighton listed Greer as “out” three hours before tipoff against Xavier on Wednesday.
