Creighton vs Nebraska Prediction
Creighton comes into this matchup ranked #14 in the country and they are 4-0 to start the season. The Bluejays have allowed 56 and 43 points in their last two games and will face a Nebraska team that is only shooting 42.9% from the field. The Cornhuskers are coming off a tough loss to St. Mary’s, but they need to find more offense if they want to hang in this game. I think Creighton is just miles ahead of Nebraska offensively, so I like the Bluejays at home here.
