Texas Southern at Creighton picks and predictions
Prediction
Creighton 88, Texas Southern 50
Moneyline
AVOID.
Obviously pass here, even if you can find a line.
Against the spread
BET CREIGHTON -28.5 (-114).
The Tigers don't have many competent scoring threats. Henry shooting 22.9% from the field, and only one of their top-4 scorers shooting north of 30%. The efficiency just isn't there for them to match one of the most dynamic offenses in America.
Creighton has scored at least 89 points in all 3 games and has covered the two spreads of 25 or more. The Bluejays brought up multiple key pieces from a team that made a deep March Madness run last season. They should dominate here.
Take CREIGHTON -28.5 (-114).

Over/Under
LEAN UNDER 147.5 (-110).
The Tigers are 0-3 O/U this season and scored 55 or fewer points in every game. They have only allowed north of 65 points once as well, so they have competently limited opponents.
Creighton is 2-1 O/U, but it should pull off the gas late, as it did with North Dakota State in its lone Under. Expect limited scoring as Texas Southern just won't be able to keep pace.
Back UNDER 147.5 (-110).
