The Creighton Bluejays and Seton Hall Pirates will meet for the second time already this season when the two programs meet in downtown Omaha. Creighton’s offense, which is eighth in the country in scoring, was held to 84 points and shot just 5-for-25 from beyond the arc in the first clash, a game they ultimately lost. Can the Bluejays get vengeance on the Pirates on Wednesday?
- The total has gone OVER in Seton Hall’s last 4 games against Creighton.
- Creighton is 12-0 SU in its last 12 games at home.
- Seton Hall is 6-2 ATS in its last 8 games against the Big East.
The biggest culprits for that inefficient effort were the guard duo of Marcus Foster and Khyri Thomas, who shot a combined 1-for-11 from deep against Seton Hall. Thomas specifically has found himself in a shooting rut recently with the junior hitting at just 38.2 percent from the field and 21.9 percent from three in the last six games. Creighton needs Thomas to shoot his way out of this slump if the team wants to start moving in the right direction.
Scoring against Seton Hall has been an issue for any team that has faced the Pirates, as they have held opponents to 70 or fewer points in four of their last seven. Going into the post has been nearly impossible against Seton Hall thanks to the frontcourt duo of Angel Delgado and Ismael Sanogo. Delgado has been one of the best players in the country — statistically speaking — with the senior averaging 14.2 points and 11.7 rebounds with 14 double-doubles on the season.
