No. 9 Creighton is coming off a 94-76 win at St. John’s. The Blue Jays are one of the top offensive teams in the country. They are shooting an effective field goal percentage of 60.4, which is ranked fourth in the country. They are shooting 39.8 percent of their 3-point attempts. The offense is led by Denzel Mahoney with 16.2 points and 3.8 rebounds a game. Marcus Zegarowski adds 14.7 points and he dishes out 5.7 assists.

Connecticut was forced to pause team activities due to COVID-19 two weeks ago. They have played three games this season and have won all three. This will be their first game in 17 days so rust could be a factor for the Huskies. The offense is led by James Bouknight with 18.7 points and 6.3 rebounds a game. R.J. Cole adds 11.0 points and he dishes out 3.7 assists. Isaiah Whaley chips in 10.7 points and 7.3 rebounds a game.

The Bluejays have played better competition and have looked good doing it. They are one of the top offenses in the country. UCONN has had an extended layoff so their defense may be a step behind. Creighton has covered the number in four of its last five road games. I think the layoff will hurt UCONN in this game and Creighton comes away with an easy win.

Play on Creighton.
