The Blue Jays took care of business in the first match-up between these two teams on January 5th, winning by 13 points at home. This game is on the road for them, but Creighton is 7-2 away from home this season, and is playing stellar defense (63.2 per game). Indiana State is tough at home, but they are playing a ranked team here and I don't think they can get the win. Creighton is 16-3 straight-up on the road vs. winning teams dating back to last season. If the Sycamores have a problem, it's moving the ball well. They average just 11 assists per game and that's a problem considering that the Blue Jays are 16-3 straight-up the past three seasons vs. teams that average 12 or fewer assists. Indiana State likes to slow things down (just 52 shots per game) and that plays right into Creighton's hands. The Blue Jays are 21-6 vs. teams averaging under 54 shots per game the past three seasons. Since last season, Creighton is 10-1 straight-up after a game in which they held an opponent to 60 or fewer points and 18-4 on the road after a win. Take the Blue Jays to win this one.
