Creighton Bluejays Betting Preview

The Creighton Bluejays are 3–0 this year after they defeated Houston Christian by a score of 78-43 in their last game. Creighton led 39-12 at the half and they were able to coast to the blowout win in the second half. The Bluejays shot 55.8% from the field, 33.3% on three pointers, and 65% on free throws in the game. Ryan Kalkbrenner led Creighton with 16 points and five rebounds in the win. 


Prior to that game, the Bluejays defeated FDU and UT Rio Grande in their first two games of the year. Creighton has scored 91 points per game and they have allowed 66.3 points per game, while also averaging 43.7 rebounds and 20.3 assists per game this season. Ryan Kalkbrenner is averaging 29.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 1.0 assists per game, while Creighton is shooting 54% from the field, 79.7% on free throws, and 31.2% on three pointers this year. 

Kansas City Roos Betting Preview

The Kansas City Roos are 2-1 this season after they lost to Iowa State by a score of 82-56 in their last game. Kansas City trailed 34-22 at halftime and allowed 48 points in the second half in the loss. The Roos shot 33.3% from the field, 25.8% on three-pointers, and 92.3% on free throws in the game. Jamar Brown led Kansas City with 20 points and four rebounds in the game. 

Prior to that loss, the Roos defeated two non-D-1 teams by scores of 124-36 and 91-68. Kansas City has scored 90.3 points per game and they have allowed 62 points per game, while also averaging 43.7 rebounds and 15.7 assists per game this season. Jamar Brown is averaging 18.3 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 2.7 steals per game, while Kansas City is shooting 46.2% from the field, 75% on free throws, and 33% on three pointers this year. 

Why Creighton will cover

  • Creighton has won each of its last 10 night games against non-conference opponents at CHI Health Center Omaha.
  • Kansas City has lost each of its last four road games against non-conference opponents.
  • 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.
