Arizona State at Creighton

Creighton has lost only one game all season and is unbeaten at home, where they play their best defense for Coach Greg McDermott. This total is high as Creighton has scored 97 points in each of its last two games, but that was against up-tempo teams in UMass and Western Illinois. Creighton also plays strong defense, and is 12-5 UNDER the total following a victory and 4-0 UNDER against the PAC-12. Arizona State is 4-2 on the young season, but will be playing its first true road game here. ASU is outrebounding its opponents by 10.1 per game and has 39 more offensive rebounds (91-52). Arizona State is 4-1 UNDER the total after a spread loss, plus 5-1 UNDER on the road following three or more consecutive home games. Look for more defense than oddsmakers expect as the visitors control the glass and the tempo. Take this one to finish UNDER.
