Creighton suffered a huge loss when Maurice Watson Jr. went down with a knee injury and lost its next two games. However, the Blue Jays recovered and won and covered their last two games at home against DePaul and at Butler. Justin Patton, Marcus Foster and Khyri Thomas scored 15 points apiece versus Butler as the Blue Jays shot 55.8 percent overall and 61.9 percent from three-point range while holding the Bulldogs to a .409 shooting percentage. Creighton is 15-6 ATS, including a 72-67 win over Xavier as a three-point underdog on Jan. 16. The Musketeers had lost four out of five games before bouncing back with wins over St. John's and Seton Hall. Trevon Bluiett scored 24 points against the Pirates, but he is questionable for this game due to a foot injury. Also, Edmond Sumner, the team's second-leading scorer, is out for the season with a knee injury. Creighton is 6-0 ATS the last six meetings and Xavier is 0-4 ATS its last four road games. Play Creighton.
