(NCAAB) Creighton vs. DePaul,
Point Spread: 3.50 | -110.00 Creighton (Away)
Result: Win
I don't trust DePaul as a favorite and neither should you. The Blue Demons just hosted Butler two days ago. They lost, 73-71, as a six-point home favorite.

This is just the fifth time in their last 16 games the Blue Demons are favored. They are 1-3 ATS with two straight-up losses the previous four times they've been chalk.

Creighton has the superior record at 16-8 to DePaul's 12-12. The Blue Jays are the better defense team ranking 19th in the nation in defensive field goal percentage. They are ranked among the top 35 in defensive efficiency.

The Blue Demons rank 230th in scoring defense and in 3-point defense.

The Blue Jays have been playing well winning four of their last five games. The teams met on Jan. 22 in Omaha. Creighton won, 60-47. A key was the Blue Jays controlling the boards with a plus 11 rebounding margin.
