  • After reaching the NCAA Tournament for the first time in program history last season, expectations are high for Northwestern. Though the Wildcats are 2-0 during this young season, they face their first real challenge against a high-flying Creighton Bluejays team Wednesday.

    Shark Bites
    • Northwestern is 1-5 ATS in its last 6 games as favorite.
    • Creighton is 11-1 SU and 10-2 ATS in its last 12 games against the Big Ten.
    • Creighton is 8-3 SU in its last 11 games with 2 days off between games.

    Creighton has opened the season with back-to-back wins that have seen them average 100.5 points while shooting 57.5 percent from the field. The Bluejays offense has relied heavily on the veteran guard duo of Marcus Foster and Khyri Thomas, who have accounted for over 37 percent of the scoring.

    Northwestern’s team focus is more defense-oriented, holding their first two opponents to 70.5 ppg. Though the Wildcats offense has not exactly been setting the world on fire, that could change if they start hitting from beyond the arc. Northwestern has taken 37 treys so far but connected on only 11, with Scottie Lindsey being the only player to make more than two three-pointers.
