Creighton vs. Butler Key Player to Watch

Finley Bizjack, G - Butler Bulldogs

Finley Bizjack is leading Butler in points per game, averaging 17.3, while also averaging 2.2 rebounds and 2.5 assists. He's also the Bulldogs' primary 3-point shooter, and he's hitting them at a rate of 35.4%. He needs to get hot tonight if the Bulldogs want to take down the Bluejays.

Creighton vs. Butler Prediction and Pick

Not only does Creighton have a terrible record against the spread of late, but its road splits would make me nervous if I were a Bluejays fan. Their effective field goal percentage drops 6% when playing on the road, and their average scoring margin drops from +4.8 to -5.7.

The opposite is true for Butler, whose eFG% improves by 4.8% when playing at home, and its average scoring margin improves from -4.8 on the road to +8.7 at home.

Butler also plays much more disciplined basketball than Creighton, ranking 60th in effective possession ratio, compared to Creighton at 230th.

I'll lay the points with the Bulldogs at home tonight.

Pick: Butler -2.5 (-110)
