Creighton Going Through a Bit of a Lull
After such a strong start to the season, Creighton is really struggling and they have lost two games in a row. Two games ago against Villanova they lost by two and in the last game against Marquette they were defeated 72-67. Creighton held Marquette to only 36.8 percent from the floor, but they still couldn’t come away with a victory. Creighton on the season is averaging 81.8 points while their defense is giving up 67.1 points per game. Baylor Scheierman is averaging 18.6 points while shooting 44.6 percent from the field and 36.3 percent from behind the three point line. Creighton will meet Providence, DePaul, and St. John’s after this one.
Can Georgetown Pick up Big Win?
Georgetown hasn’t had many big wins this season, but that wouldn’t count as that if they were able to pick it up. For most of the season there have been some struggles and in the last game against Marquette, they scored 51 points while the defense gave up 81 points. Jayden Epps did have a strong game putting up 14 points, three rebounds, and three assists. Georgetown on the season is averaging 73.7 points while their defense is giving up 72.3 points per game. The offense is ranked 214th while the defense is ranked 216th. The top player this season has been Jayden Epps and he is averaging 17.8 points while shooting 43.2 percent from the field and 37 percent from behind the three point line.
Creighton vs Georgetown Betting Prediction
Georgetown’s offense struggled in the last game and it’s going to happen again here. I do expect Georgetown is going to really try to slow down the pace though and they are going to really make life tough on Creighton because of the pace. This game is going to be a game where neither team runs up the score and that will be the difference here. Back the under to cash here.
