Creighton at BYU

The BYU Cougars have held one of the top home court advantages in all of college basketball. This team has put together a 181-26 SU record on their home court over the last decade, including 20-2 SU this year. There are three reasons why this has occurred. They have almost always had a quality team, they play an up-tempo in an effort to wear their opponent out, and they play at one of the highest altitudes in college hoops. Put it all together and you have a team that is extremely tough to compete with on their home floor. The 181 home wins includes just 10 times where they failed to win by five points or more. This year they have won 19 of their 20 home wins by five or more. Creighton is a very solid team, one of many that has come here to fall well shy of expectations. The total here is also showing some value as both these teams are efficient on offense, and each likes to get up and down the floor. The Cougars average 87.1 points per game on their home floor, and have topped the 90 point mark here nine times already this season. Creighton will be a willing partner in a track meet. Take BYU and play the OVER.
