Why Creighton will cover

• Creighton has won each of its last 10 night games against non-Conference opponents at CHI Health Center Omaha.

• Creighton has won the first half in each of its last 11 games against the Summit League.

Creighton vs Kansas City Prediction 

Creighton comes into this matchup with a 3-0 record and they are ranked #14 in the country, but they have yet to play anyone even remotely good. Kansas City is still looking for their first win against a D-1 team this year, but did lose by 26 points against Iowa State last time out. I expect Kalkbrenner to have another huge game and this Creighton offense should hover right around 80-90 points. Take the Bluejays here.
