OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Tyler Kolek’s short jump shot gave No. 10 Marquette the lead with 29 seconds left, and the Golden Eagles took a huge step toward the Big East regular-season title with a 73-71 win over No. 19 Creighton. The Golden Eagles saw a 10-point lead with eight minutes left evaporate before Kolek came up big during a wild finish before a sellout crowd at CHI Health Center. Jones led Marquette with 19 points and Kolek and Oso Ighodaro added 18 apiece. Baylor Scheierman had 18 points to lead the Bluejays. Ryan Nembhard added 16.
