Creighton, which is No. 14 in the Paste BN Sports Coaches Poll, failed to cover the spread as an 8.5-point favorite in a 69-48 loss vs. the Colorado State Rams at the Hall of Fame Classic on Thursday as the Under (154.5) hit. Creighton shot just 27.9% from the floor — its worst mark since Jan. 12, 2016.
Oklahoma State has scored 90-plus points in back-to-back wins and is coming off a 92-65 victory vs. the Houston Christian Huskies on Friday as the Over (151.5) cashed. The hook got OSU bettors in that one as the Cowboys were 27.5-point home favorites. Oklahoma State is a frequent launcher of 3s, and its success rate on those triples has been a clear marker of all 3 wins and all 3 losses.

Creighton at Oklahoma State picks and predictions
Prediction
Creighton 75, Oklahoma State 65
Moneyline
PASS. There's no value to be found between these prices.
Against the spread
Oklahoma State is 11-19 over its last 30 games when lined as an underdog, and OSU is 13-19 ATS in its last 32 non-conference games. Creighton is 4-1 ATS across its last 5 against Big 12 foes.
Creighton is the more efficient team at both ends. On offense, the Bluejays do well to get quality looks at the rim and from beyond the arc. Peg them as ready to rebound in a big way from their misfire against Colorado State.
CU is also the better rebounding team, and it excels in forcing lower-quality midrange shots and in denying looks from distance.
The Cowboys logged a couple ATS losses in 2 mid-November, spread-competitive games, and they are 1-3 ATS across their last 4 efforts overall.
BACK THE BLUEJAYS -7.5 (-120).

Over/Under
Figure on a slower-than-average pace to this one. Both teams have 2nd-division tempo figures. Both shoot the 3 with regularity, though, and something around 138-142 looks like a solid and well-made total.
The books and bettors have this one surrounded. And that means there is no leverage to be found. PASS.
