It doesn't seem to matter who they lost from the previous season, the Creighton Blue Jays have become a reload team instead of a rebuild team. At 5-2 to start the season, they already claimed a win vs. UCLA. Losses to Baylor and Gonzaga will help them later in the season as they have upgraded the schedule. North Dakota State goes into the deep end of the pool tonight for the first time all season, and I don't think they can compete here, and there should be a lot of garbage time early, which will significantly impact the scoring pace in the second half. Utah Valley State and Arkansas Pine Bluff have both held the Fighting Hawks to less than 40% shooting, and I don't expect them to fair much better here. I don't see this one getting close to 170, and will side with the UNDER.
