Creighton vs Notre Dame Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this matchup on three-game losing streaks and they will play for seventh place in the Players Era Festival. Creighton did play well against Texas A&M, but they are only shooting 45% from the field. Notre Dame only scored 54 points in their last game against Houston and they are missing their leading scorer. I really don’t like how these teams are trending, but I do think Creighton can take some positives from their last game. Take the Bluejays here.
