Creighton grabbed charge of this game right away, scoring eight points in a row in the opening two minutes. Holy Cross switched to a zone defense, but the Bluejays torched them from beyond the arc, shooting 12-32.

 

The team struggled at the free-throw line, making only eight of 17 tries, and their free-throw percentage of 66.7% places them 230th in the country right now.

UC Riverside Highlanders vs #10 Creighton Bluejays. The NCAAB pick for this game is the #10 Creighton Bluejays. It makes sense that Creighton is the 18-point favorite in this matchup.

 

The Bluejays are undoubtedly one of the best teams in the nation, even though the Highlanders gave a strong performance in their victory over Loyola Marymount.

 

They defeated St. Thomas by 12 points in their initial match, North Dakota by 35, then Holy Cross by 29 points. As competitions go, they have little trouble keeping their foot on the gas.

 

On November 7, Colorado defeated the Highlanders by 16 points after holding them to 66 points. Despite having a strong squad, the Buffaloes cannot compete with the Bluejays, which means Creighton will most certainly win by at least 20.

 

Expect Creighton to score 90 points in this game because UC Riverside only allows 80.5 points per game. The Bluejays will win to a predicted score of 75-88.
