The Stakes

Creighton has lost their last six games and fans are starting to get pretty uneasy. Creighton fans haven't seen this kind of a slump since the mid-1990's. The 9-9 Bluejays have lost their last two games by one point each, both on dagger three-pointers in the closing seconds when they've had the lead. A win at home on Saturday could go a long way in restoring some faith and making basketball fun again.

The Friars are coming off a tough home loss to St. John's, a team that was previously without a win in conference play. Last time Providence went on the road, they got a crucial win over a solid Butler team. They will be tested again playing in Omaha, a place they surrendered Doug McDermott's 3,000th point and lost on senior night to the Jays last season. The Friars are trying to maintain pace in league play, where every game is a battle. It's also worth noting that Providence currently sits on the bubble in many predictor's minds. Any road win is a good win. And a victory on the road in front of 17,000 fans will be a nice little feather in the cap should the Friars come out on top.
