Why the Creighton Bluejays will win

• North Dakota has lost each of its last 17 Wednesday night games.
• Creighton has won 14 of its last 15 games against non-Conference opponents at CHI Health Center Omaha.
• North Dakota has lost the first half in six of its last seven games against AP-ranked opponents.

North Dakota vs Creighton Prediction

I’ll go with Creighton. The Bluejays are coming off an easy win versus MD Eastern Shore, logging 49.3 percent shooting from the field with a 40-22 edge on rebounding and a 42-20 advantage in the paint alongside just nine turnovers. Creighton held the Hawks to just 38 percent shooting and 13.3 percent (2-of-15) from outside in the victory. The Jays have 84 or more points in each of their two wins so far, but they’ve also given up 76 or more points in two of three outings as well. That said, I don’t think North Dakota will be able to score well enough in this Wednesday’s matchup for that to matter much. Creighton should control this game from front to back if they play anywhere near their capabilities.
