The Georgetown Hoyas come into this game looking to snap their double-digit losing streak after an 80-66 loss to Creighton in their last matchup. Aminu Mohammed leads the Hoyas in scoring and rebounding with 13.6 PPG and 7.7 RPG while Donald Carey also has 13.6 PPG, 3.1 APG and 4.8 RPG this season. Kaiden Rice has 13.1 PPG while Dante Harris has 11.1 PPG with a team-high 4.5 APG to lead the Hoyas in assists and to round out the group of double-digit scorers for Georgetown so far this season. As a team, Georgetown is averaging 71.5 PPG on 40.8% shooting from the field, 36.1% from three and 73% from the foul line while allowing 76.9 PPG on 45.4% shooting from the field and 36.5% from three this season.
The Creighton Bluejays will look to build on back-to-back wins after the triumph over Georgetown in the first meeting. Ryan Hawkins leads the Bluejays in scoring and rebounding with 13.4 PPG and 7.2 RPG while Ryan Nembhard has 10.9 PPG and a team-high 4.1 APG to lead Creighton in assists. Ryan Kalkbrenner has 11.4 PPG, 7.3 RPG and 2.8 BPG and Alex O’Connell has 11.9 PPG with 5.6 RPG to make up the group of double-digit scorers for Creighton this season. As a team, Creighton is averaging 68.4 PPG on 45% shooting from the field, 30.8% from three and 72.6% from the foul line while allowing 65.5 PPG on 39.2% shooting from the field and 32.9% from three this season.
Georgetown is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games overall and 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games against a team with a winning record. Creighton is 23-11 ATS in their last 34 Monday games and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games against a team with a losing record while the under is 4-0 in their last 4 home games.
I get the case that could be made for either side here, but I’m leaning more towards the under in this matchup. Georgetown’s given up a lot of points as of late, but a young Creighton team doesn’t look like the kind of team that’s offensively powerful enough to take advantage of those kinds of deficiencies. I think this could end up being a first to 60 kind of game as crazy as it may sound, so give me the under here.
