For two teams whose offenses function patiently, this total came up a tad high. Rutgers ranks 262nd in Division 1 for possessions per game, while Creighton stands 201st. The Bluejays often score a lot, owing to their proclivity for shooting threes, but the accuracy may dip in an unfamiliar arena. Guard Austin Swartz, who averages a fracton under 11 ppg, is an injury scratch. Tariq Francis, the Scarlet Knights' top scorer at just under 17 ppg, is dealing with a recent practice injury and could be slowed. Rutgers is hardly a points machine with him at optimum health.
