Marquette is the only team that is still perfect in Big East play. That doesn’t figure to change when the Golden Eagles go on the road to face a DePaul team that is 0-6 in conference play on Tuesday before welcoming Xavier to town this weekend.

The Golden Eagles are just 5-4-1 against the college basketball spread as a home favorite this season. That is something to consider heading into Saturday’s matchup with the Musketeers.
Marquette remained seventh in The Associated Press poll with UConn dropping five spots to No. 14 after a loss to Villanova. They are the only two ranked teams in the Big East. St. John’s is the first team in the also receiving votes category.
Marquette is at -115 in the odds of winning the Big East title while St. John’s (+250) has moved ahead of defending national champion UConn (+400) in the championship odds. The Huskies continue to top all Big East teams with +1400 odds of winning the national title.
Let’s check out my best college basketball picks this week for the Big East.
Top 3 Weekly College Basketball Predictions for Big East
1. Take Georgetown-St. John’s To Land Over
With all due respect to Marquette, Creighton, Xavier and the other Midwest teams in the Big East, there is something special when St. John’s and Georgetown are contenders to win the Big East.
The longtime rivals will meet for the first time this season with the Hoyas trying to snap a six-game losing streak to the Red Storm, per Georgetown vs St. John’s stats.
It would be quite the understatement to suggest that this is a difficult stretch for Georgetown as the Hoyas are coming off back-to-back losses to Marquette and UConn. The good news is that second-leading scorer Jayden Epps returned for the UConn game after being sidelined for the matchup with Marquette.
St. John’s has won three games in a row and is 11-0 at home and is 7-4 against the spread as the home favorite this season.
When considering the Big East basketball picks, keep in mind that St. John’s star RJ Luis Jr. had 30 points and 10 rebounds in a win over Villanova the last time out.

2. Game of the Week: Creighton at UConn
UConn and Creighton were picked to finish first and second in the Big East preseason poll so why not go with Saturday’s matchup as the Big East Game of the Week.
The home team has won the last five games between the Bluejays and the Huskies. Since Creighton’s 59-55 win at UConn in 2022, the Huskies have won the last two home games against the Bluejays by nine and 14 points, with UConn covering the college basketball spread in both those matchups.

The game features two of the top players in the Big East. Ryan Kalkbrenner tops Creighton in scoring, rebounding and blocked shots while Alex Karaban leads UConn with an average of 16.1 points per game.
Karaban averaged 10 points and four rebounds in two games against Creighton last season while Kalkbrenner averaged 13 points, 6.5 rebounds and 4.5 blocked shots in the two matchups with UConn in the 2023-24 season, per NCAAB betting trends.
Bet on UConn to Win the Big East (+400)
3. Marquette’s Chase Ross A Top Player Prop Option
The last thing that Marquette opponents want to see is junior guard Chase Ross heating up. Ross has seen his scoring average move from 4.6 to 6.1 to 10.9 points for the Golden Eagles. After scoring 22 combined points in the previous four games, Ross had 27 points and six steals in a win over Georgetown.
When looking at the college basketball player props, Ross has tempting odds in points, 3-pointers and steals. The -114 odds for Ross to have 17+ combined points, rebounds and assists could be a way to go.
