Jays -5 seems a bit large to me.

Not to me. The 5 point spread seems to be in keeping with how the teams have performed overall this year, with a few points thrown in for home court advantage. BUT if we look at how Creighton has played with Kalkbrenner in the lineup, 5 seems to be too little. This could easily be a 10-12 point win for Creighton.

This game is huge in its implications for the conference championship and for conference tournament seeding.

It's tough to tell, but yeah, seems a couple points too large. What I know is that I would be hitting that over of 158.5 with these two teams.

It’s not dollar beer night, but this is a very spirited CU crowd today.

Jays lead by 14 at half. IIRC we blew a bigger halftime lead against XU at home last year.

36-19- Creighton had a 19-7 run to end the first half. 1st 10 minutes of the 2nd half was 24-2 run for Xavier. One of the craziest games I've ever seen.

Bingo. It was a rough one.

I like our energy today a lot. Nembhard has completely stopped Boum so far.

Creighton's ability to D without fouling makes them really dangerous if their shots are falling. I still think Creighton's in a decent position to win the regular season title.

Marquette sure got hot at the right time. Looked like they were in danger today.
