Creighton has looked really good in their games this season with their 20-7 record overall which has them ranked inside the top 25 teams in the country. They have looked good in the Big East this year with their 11-5 conference record which has them near the top of the conference and they have also been a good road team with their 7-4 road record. Meanwhile, St John's hasn't looked that good in their games this season with their 15-12 record overall and their 7-9 conference record which has them in the bottom half of the conference. They have looked a lot better on their home court this year with their 10-4 home record, but lately they have been struggling with their 2-3 record in their last 5 games. They did beat Georgetown in their last game but Georgetown is also one of the worst teams in the Big East this season. Creighton has looked a lot better in their games lately as they are getting hot now with their 4-1 record in their last 5 games and they are going to have a ton of momentum on their side here after a win against UConn in their last game. Creighton will continue to roll in this game against a struggling St John's team as Creighton continues to get hot going into the postseason tournaments. The best way to place a bet here is on Creighton to cover the spread in this game.
