What to Know
The Creighton Bluejays’ homestand continues as they prepare to take on the #19 Iowa State Cyclones at 9 p.m. ET Dec. 4 at CHI Health Center Omaha. The Bluejays are out to keep their four-game home win streak alive.
Everything went Creighton’s way against the North Dakota State Bison on Tuesday as they made off with an 80-55 win. Creighton got double-digit scores from four players: center Ryan Kalkbrenner (17), forward Arthur Kaluma (11), guard Alex O’Connell (10), and guard Ryan Nembhard (10). Ryan Kalkbrenner has also now had at least three blocks in his past three games.
Meanwhile, while not quite a landslide, the game between Iowa State and the Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions on Wednesday was still a pretty decisive one as Iowa State wrapped it up with an 83-64 victory at home. Iowa State relied on the efforts of guard Izaiah Brockington, who dropped a double-double on 23 points and ten boards, and forward George Conditt IV, who had 11 points along with seven rebounds.
The Bluejays are the favorite in this one, with an expected 4.5-point margin of victory. But bettors beware: they are only 2-4 against the spread when favored.
Their wins bumped Creighton to 7-1 and the Cyclones to 7-0. On Tuesday Creighton relied heavily on Kalkbrenner, who had 17 points in addition to three blocks. It will be up to Iowa State’s defense to limit his damage Saturday.
