Creighton vs DePaul Prediction 

DePaul comes into this matchup looking for their fourth win in a row, which doesn’t happen in conference play very often for them, but all three wins came against Georgetown and Providence. The Blue Demons are shooting 44.4% from the field this year and their defense has been a problem, as they have allowed at least 75 points in four of their last five games. Creighton has won four of their last five games and they are shooting nearly 48% from the field. The Bluejays went through a little rough patch a few weeks ago, but they have bounced back and have scored at least 79 points in three of their last five. Creighton has two wins over DePaul already this season and I don’t think this DePaul defense can slow down the Creighton offense. Take the Bluejays here.
