No. 5 Marquette hopes to have Tyler Kolek vs. No. 12 CreightonAlthough it has won 11 of its past 12 games, No.5 Marquette finds itself on pins and needles heading into Saturday’s meeting with No.12 Crei...
David Joplin - Steady presence for MarquetteJoplin closed with 13 points (4-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 91-69 win over Providence.
ImpactJoplin has now scored in double figures in three consecutive contests, and he's also contributing defensively with a pair of steals and five rejections over that stretch. He's gone from the sixth-man in 2022-23 to an every-game starter this season, giving the Golden Eagles consistency on both ends of the floor.

Tre Norman - Seeing more opportunitiesNorman had eight points (3-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and two steals in 19 minutes during Wednesday's 91-69 victory over Providence.
ImpactNorman's playing time and offensive output have been non-existent at times this season, but he's now recorded double-digit minutes in four consecutive games for the first time all season, posting 5.8 points on 52.6 percent shooting over that span. Marquette could use another quality reserve option, and the freshman appears to be growing into that role well.

Chase Ross - Puts up a dozenRoss totaled 12 points (4-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and two steals across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 91-69 victory over Providence.
ImpactRoss had a season-best 13 points Feb. 21 against a pitiful DePaul squad but was held scoreless his next time out against Xavier on Sunday. He found his three-point stroke Wednesday, which led to another double-digit scoring day. With Sean Jones (knee) out for the year, Ross, along with Ben Gold have been elevated to the top reserve options for the Golden Eagles.
