The Southern Illinois-Edwardsville Cougars have looked bad this season and have lost to a lot of below average teams. The Creighton Bluejays are on fire at both ends of the floor, and they usually knockdown shots at a high clip at home. The only question is how motivated Creighton is to blow the doors off here. Either way, I’ll lay the chalk with the Bluejays.
