Creighton -3 O/U

Creighton: 15-1 SU, 11-4 ATS. The total is 7-8

Butler and Creighton square of Wednesday in a battle of Big East teams that could make a run to the Final Four this season. Both teams have a stellar resume thus far. Butler went to the Las Vegas Invitational in November and swept Vanderbilt, Arizona and Utah to win the tournament. They added to a great non conference schedule by being the only team to knock off Villanova this season when they beat them by 8 at home last week. Creighton’s resume may be even better. Creighton knocked off 6 power 5 conference teams in the nonconference portion of their schedule and have only lost once this season.

For this RideTheHotHand Free pick we’re picking a side. This pick was posted before the total was released but we think this game will be played in the mid 70’s. Both of these offenses can play fast if they want and easily break 80 but with the importance of this game to keep pace with Villanova in conference seeding the defensive intensity will be high and the 2nd half will be played in half court sets. Butler will slow the game down and try to feed the ball inside to their front line of Kelan Martin, Andrew Chrabascz, and Tyler Wideman all are over 6’8. Creighton will counter with their terrific inside outside game. They will have the best player on the floor in shooting guard Marcus Foster who is averaging 19 points a game. On the inside Creighton is ecstatic with the quick development of 7’0 freshman center Justin Patton who is averaging 15 points a game. We’re taking Creighton in this game because we love Patton in the middle kicking out to Creighton’s lethal 3 point shooters. Creighton boasts 7 players that hits over 40% beyond the arc. Playing man to man on Creighton and Patton is unstoppable down low. Play zone and the 3’s get you. The Centurylink Center will be packed with 17,000 rabid fans and after already losing to Villanova at home this year Creighton will not fall to another rival at home. We’re taking the Blue Jays. The Pick: Creighton -3
