They were 38.7% from the field, 31.3% from 3-point range, and 69.2% from the free throw line with their shooting last season. Their offense was averaging 58.6 PPG and their defense was allowing their opponents to average 70 PPG against them. Florida A&M had an ATS record of 15-12 last season and their O/U record was 10-16-1.

Creighton finished last season with a 24-13 record overall and they were 13-2 in their home games last season where they will be in this game. Ryan Kalkbrenner led the team in points per game last season averaging 15.9 while Trey Alexander was next on the team with 13.6 PPG.

The current betting odds have Creighton listed as a 29 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Creighton is entering this season ranked as a team inside the top 10 this year and they are going to be looking to hold on to that after a really good season last year. They were a big force in the Big East and were really good in their home games all season with their 13-2 home record. They also blew out a lot of teams by double digits in their home games while their opponent was terrible last season with their 7-22 record overall and their 3-15 road record. Creighton did lose some of their key players like Ryan Nembhard and he will definitely be missed but they also kept some key players too and still have a lot of talent on the team. Florida A&M is also in a similar situation with a lot of their starters last season no longer with the team but they don't have the depth to replace that right away like Creighton and this was a Rattlers team that already struggled in road games last year as bad as they were. The best way to place a bet here is on Creighton to cover the spread in this game.

“It’s a new year with different expectations. We’ve flipped the roster again, but in the process, we identified some problem areas that we lacked against the upper-echelon teams. Teams were more physical than us, so we addressed that in this recruiting class.” - Robert McCullum on his team coming into this new college basketball season.

“It’s a chance to get a little bit more comfortable and get some of the jitters out of the way and know what to expect when it starts to count for real. And you want to see execution.” - Greg McDermott after his team’s exhibition win against Wayne State.
