What we have here are 2 excellent 3 point shooting teams as the Wildcats average 9.27 per game and Creighton averages 9 per game. They are also 2 teams that shoot many from behind the arc as well as the Wildcats shot 26 per game and the Bluejays shot 20.7 per game. Most of the success for these 2 teams have come against lessor opponents and although the Bluejays are 5-0su at home so far this year, here is their opponents below followed by defensive rank...Curious about your thinking on the Northwestern game.

No.Carolina A&T (97-65)w (ranked 315th defense)
Chicago St (95-61)w (ranked 344th defense)
Campbell (104-81)w (ranked 291 defense)
Nebraska (76-66)w (ranked 64th defense)
Houston Baptist (97-62)w (ranked 340 defense)
So right there it's easy to notice how Creighton scoring drastically falls against tougher opponents as it did against Nebraska. With Northwestern coming into this game allowing just 63.4ppg (ranked 100th) and just 30.2% from 3 point range (ranked 64th) on defense, i like my chances here with the points and the under in what seems to be a much inflated number....
