Creighton Bluejays vs Connecticut Huskies Prediction, Odds and Picks
Creighton looks to keep things rolling and make it 3 in a row as it gets ready to take on #UConn this afternoon. The Bluejays are coming off an 84-64 win over Providence in which they shot 51.6% from the field and 43.8% from beyond the arc. UConn beat Georgetown 68-60 while shooting 46.4% from the field and 34.6% from deep. Creighton is 4-2 in conference play this season; UConn sits at 5-1. This is going to be an exciting matchup.
Creighton has played well in its last couple of games and currently averages 75.9 points per game while giving up 70.5. A big part of this Creighton offense is Ryan Kalkbrenner, who is averaging 17.8 points and 8.3 rebounds per game. As for UConn, it struggled to score in their last two games putting up only 68 against Georgetown and 66 against Villanova. UConn averages 81.9 points per game while giving up 68.1 points per game. UConn’s star, Alex Karaban, averages 16.1 ppg and 5.1 rpg, and need him to be on point in today’s matchup if it wants to win this game. Creighton has struggled on the road this season, but based on recent performances I think this team finally got things clicking to keep this game close. The Bluejays may not win the game, but they should be able to put up enough points to cover the spread — making them my best bet of the day.

The Creighton Bluejays will face off against the Connecticut Huskies in a highly anticipated college basketball matchup. Both teams have had solid seasons so far, with Creighton boasting a 14-3 record and Connecticut holding a 10-6 record.
In terms of odds, Creighton is currently favored to win this game, with odds of -150 compared to Connecticut’s +130 odds. However, this game is expected to be a close one, with both teams having talented rosters and competitive spirits.
In terms of prediction, I believe that Creighton will come out on top in this matchup. They have a strong offense led by players such as Marcus Zegarowski and Damien Jefferson, and their ability to shoot the three-pointer could give them an edge in this game.
However, Connecticut is a formidable opponent with players like James Bouknight and R.J. Cole who can make big plays when it counts. It will be a close game, but I predict Creighton will ultimately pull out the win.
As for picks, I would recommend taking Creighton to win straight up and potentially taking the over on the total points scored, as both teams have the ability to put up big numbers on offense. It should be an exciting game to watch, so make sure to tune in and see how it all plays out.
