Creighton at Georgetown: Three things to know
- Creighton and Georgetown met Feb. 3 in Omaha, Neb., with the Hoyas upsetting the Bluejays 86-79 as 14-point underdogs. The Hoyas shot 50% from the field in that game and have shot 50.4% over their last two after connecting on just 37.9% of their attempts from the floor over their previous five games.
- Creighton responded to its Feb. 3 loss to Georgetown with a hard-fought 71-68 win at Marquette Saturday. The Bluejays led that game by double digits through much of the second half, but a late surge by the Golden Eagles made the final score a close one.
- In last week’s win, Georgetown was able to force turnovers on 20.1% of Creighton’s possessions. For the season, the CU offense has recorded a turnover on just 15.8% of its possessions (27th NCAA-I). The Hoyas have forced opposing teams to turn the ball over on just 14.4% of possessions (342nd).

Against the spread (ATS)
Georgetown is on a four-game ATS win streak. Creighton is just 1-6 ATS in its last seven.
It has been a while since the Hoyas rained down 3s with efficiency in a home game. That’s somewhat schedule-and-COVID-19-related. The distance game figures to be an edge GU can leverage in this one.
The points here are generous. TAKE GEORGETOWN +7.5 (-110).
Over/Under (O/U)
Both sides have possession numbers trending downward. BACK THE UNDER 151.5 (-110).
