Kam Jones overcame a slow start to collect 22 points, nine rebounds and five assists as No. 8 Marquette defeated Creighton 79-71 on Friday night to remain unbeaten in Big East competition.

The Bluejays seem like a team that should be much better than their record, and they have several shooters capable of getting hot. But Creighton doesn't force any turnovers and don't foul, while MU causes disruption on defense and will benefit from getting up more shots.
