Interesting game tonight. Creighton players are tired from a long road trip. They just finished a tournament in California on Sunday and they stayed in CA to play Long Beach State. Long Beach State has played one of the toughest schedules. They lost to Washington in OT, they had to play Kansas State twice, Arizona, Michigan, and VCU. Creighton is struggling this year without their star center. Doug McDermott will once again battle for player of the year. McDermott is coming off probably his worst performance of his career vs George Washington. The Creighton players are tired. McDermott, Gibbs and Chatman have pretty much played every minute in the last 3 games of the tournament. McDermott scored 36 points against LBST last year in a 81-79 win at home. LBST seems to be the same team as last year and Creighton is playing a step below last year. I expect McDermott to rebound from last game and score 35+ points tonight. The only way Creighton wins this game by DD is if Wragge comes off the bench and hits 60%+ from 3 point range. My pick in this game is Long Beach State +12.5
