The Holy Cross Crusaders and the Creighton Bluejays meet in college basketball action from the CHI Health Center Omaha on Monday night.

The Holy Cross Crusaders will look to build on their 85-71 win over subdivision Dean last time out. Will Batchelder led the Crusaders with 24 points on 8 of 17 shooting with 6 threes while Gerrale Gates added 18 points on 9 of 16 shooting with 8 rebounds and 4 assists. Caleb Kenney added 12 points on 4 of 8 shooting with a team-high 9 rebounds while Nolan Dorsey added 11 points on 4 of 7 shooting with 3 threes, 8 rebounds, a team-high 5 assists and 4 steals to cap off the scoring in double figures for Holy Cross in the win.

The Creighton Bluejays will be looking to build on back-to-back wins after a 96-61 win over North Dakota last time out. Ryan Kalkbrenner led the way with 24 points on an efficient 10 of 11 shooting with 7 rebounds while Troy Alexander added 14 points on 5 of 8 shooting with 4 threes and 5 boards. Arthur Kaluma had 12 points with 6 rebounds to finish off the trio of double-digit scorers for Creighton in the win while Ryan Nembhard added 9 points with a team-high 6 assists and Baylor Scheierman added 8 points with a team-high 10 rebounds and 4 assists.

Holy Cross is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 Monday games and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games against a team with a winning record while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 games overall. Creighton is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following an ATS win while the under is 4-1 in their last 5 home games.

I get the reasoning for backing either side in this game, but I’m still leaning towards Creighton as we saw the Bluejays we should’ve seen in the opener against St. Thomas, it just took the Bluejays a game to wake up and figure out what had to be done. Holy Cross got a nice win last time out for confidence, but this is a massive step up in competition and one I don’t think the Crusaders will make successfully. Give me the Bluejays in a romp.
