Creighton has had the opportunity to prove themselves early this season with a slew of difficult opponents. When the Bluejays take on Gonzaga Friday, it will be their fourth game against a ranked opponent in a five-game span. Creighton has fared well so far in these challenging contests, going 2-1 SU and ATS vs ranked opponents.
Creighton has established themselves as one of the best offenses in the nation with the program averaging 92.5 points per game while shooting 51.3% from the field. Of course, the backcourt duo of Marcus Foster and Khyri Thomas has been pacing the team but Martin Krampelj has been the breakthrough player. The Slovenian is averaging 12.5 points and a team-high 7.2 rebounds per game.
Not to be outdone, Gonzaga is averaging 93.1 points and hitting 50.8% of their shots on the year. Despite losing several key contributors during the offseason, Gonzaga continues to have some of the best depth in the nation with six players averaging double-digit points. The biggest benefactor of the exodus of players has been Killian Tillie who has taken a huge step forward averaging nearly triple the points and double the rebounds compared to last year.
