This is a big number against unbeaten Xavier, which may win this game straight-up. Creighton has lost twice and is 4-4 ATS. Few teams can say their offense shoots 51.2 percent from the field while holding opponents to 38.5 shooting like the Musketeers. The underdog is 11-3 ATS in the last 14 meetings. Xavier has covered its last four games, the last three in wins against Marquette, Oklahoma and Cincinnati. Xavier is the play.

Over the total seems great value here -- especially since it has dropped from 155 -- as Creighton has the top scoring offense in the Big East (85.0 points per game), followed by Xavier (84.1). Both are capable of defensive lapses. The Bluejays allowed 89 points in a loss to Marquette, while Butler allowed 96 in an OT win over Eastern Kentucky. The Over is 6-0 in Creighton's past six as a favorite and the combined Over/Under record of the two schools this season is 9-3.
