Creighton vs. Xavier Pick
This is a Creighton line all the way.
Despite Xavier being the hotter team and playing at home we have seen this line flip in the favor of the Blue Jays.
Creighton matches up well as Xavier is a below-average defensive team facing one of the best offenses in college basketball.
Size is an issue for the Musketeers, which will allow Creighton to play inside out with Kalkbrenner.
