Prediction
Creighton will have two biggest advantages here. First will be their home floor, but more importantly, they will enter with the size advantage in a physical battle. The Bison may keep things close early, but look for Creighton to cover here at home.
Take Creighton's spread this evening.
PICK: Creighton -6.5
