let's start with nova...exceptional team this year. They are extremely balanced in scoring...relentless defense that forces turnovers and only allows opponents to shoot 38% from the field...all players are a threat to hit the 3, which is a weakness for creighton as they allow opponents to hit 37% from long range. the wildcats are healthy, home, well coached and well rested, as this is only their 2nd game in the past 8 days....on the other hand, the blue jays come in probably a little overrated with all the attention mcdermott gets. The absence of Gibbs in this spot is huge...he logged 30 mins a game as their starting guard and boasted a 2:1 asst/to ratio...his absence will be key here as nova will pester them every possession and wear their other ball handlers down...creighton shot 49% from the field sat nite and still lost to the friars by 13...they def will not shoot that well from the field tonight, so look for the outcome to be worse...their interior defense leaves alot to be desired, so look for nova to be able to score somewhat easily. I def feel this is an overvalued creighton team without gibbs and this is also their 4th game in 8 days....based on all these factors and that it will be one of nova's biggest home games of the year, expect them to win with ease here in this spot...81 - 65 wildcats!...bol
