Result: Loss

Creighton -2



Cheap number here and it does look like a trap line and Creighton has lost to lesser teams than Northern Iowa on the road in conference action this year, but we are down the home stretch here as we near tourney time and Creighton is tightening the belt with their 23rd ranked Blue Jays team. The Panthers are catching a ticked off bunch tonight as Creighton has dropped 2 straight and dropped to 23rd in the rankings and with Wichita State tied in a dead heat for first place with the boys from Omaha, this in their minds is a must win game against a team they beat by 11 back on January 15th in Omaha. Northern Iowa has managed just 56 ppg on offense in their last 5 games while Creighton and Doug McDermott are averaging 75 ppg and 49% from the floor in their last 5. While NIU plays great defense they have no answer for McDermott and with a very motivated Blue Jays team coming in here I see no reason why Creighton does not play a complete game here with a ton on the line for them and get a 6-8 point road win. The road team is 7-2 ATS in this series, I like that trend to continue.
