The 2024 Players Era Thanksgiving Festival begins on Tuesday with eight teams battling it out for money that will go into their NIL collectives and the action begins with the San Diego State Aztecs taking on the Creighton Bluejays. San Diego State went to the Sweet 16 and was 2-1 last season while Creighton is coming off of a Sweet 16 run of its own and is ranked 21st in the AP Top 25 after a 4-1 start. These two programs met in the Elite Eight just two seasons ago, with SDSU capturing a 57-56 win to make the Final Four as 2.5-point underdogs in that contest.
Tipoff is scheduled for 2 p.m. ET at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The Bluejays are 4.5-point favorites in the latest Creighton vs. San Diego State odds from SportsLine consensus, while the over/under for total points scored is 138.5.
