UConn-Creighton Men’s College Basketball Odds, Lines, Spread and Bet
A pair of top-25 teams clash for the second time this season Saturday when No. 23 Creighton welcomes No. 21 UConn.
There are two Big East teams back moving in the right direction after some earlier struggles. Both are in solid NCAA Tournament shape, but the Bluejays also are in the hunt for the Big East regular-season title.
UConn has won three in a row after six losses in the previous eight games. But Creighton has won seven in a row, with point guard Ryan Nembhard playing at a high level, big man Ryan Kalkbrenner converting inside at a high rate and Baylor Scheierman dropping in shots from outside the arc.
