The Northern Iowa program is kind of what started a nationwide fascination with the Missouri Valley Conference.\u00a0\u00a0For years this program was feared though now it is Creighton and Wichita State that are the beasts of the MVC. <\/p>\n

Buy Razor Ray’s Picks Today!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The last three games in this series have been 3 pointers and UNI won at home last season. \u00a0You can bet Creighton is aware of this and looking to make sure a slipup doesn\u2019t hurt their eventual tourney seeding.<\/p>\n The Panthers are coming off their best performance of the season, a mauling of Bradley. \u00a0Guard Marc Sonnen was on fire from three and kept shooting all the way to seven makes from deep.<\/p>\n If they are going to upset the Blue Jays they are going to need something similar Tuesday night. \u00a0They are going to also need the burly forward Jake Koch to stand tall in the middle and be strong against the Creighton bigs.<\/p>\n He is physical but sometimes the production is light.<\/p>\n UNI is 2-3 ATS in conference play. \u00a0They shocked Illinois State winning as 8.5 point dogs on the road but other than that have been playing to form.<\/p>\n They are getting all of their tough road games out of the way early it seems but this is the toughest one of all. \u00a0They might hang in there for a while but I wouldn\u2019t bet on it.<\/p>\n The Blue Jays are rolling and it is quite possible that their only blemish this season will be a shocker at Boise State. [ad-6571516]<\/p>\n No disrespect to the Broncos but there is a number next to Creighton\u2019s name and this ain\u2019t football. \u00a0Since opening MVC play the Blue Jays have barely been challenged. \u00a0No game has been closer than 8 points.<\/p>\n Hopefully they are not looking ahead to Wichita State on Saturday.<\/p>\n Forward Doug McDermott just dropped 39 points on Missouri State in their last game.<\/p>\n It is the second time in 5 MVC games he has chipped in a double-double and the 4th time he has scored 30 or more. \u00a0One thing to worry about is the Blue Jays depth. \u00a0Only Gregory Echenique also averages double figures in points.<\/p>\n This team is #2 in FG shooting and #1 in three point shooting so perhaps I am nitpicking. \u00a0They don\u2019t seem to have much trouble generating offense.<\/p>\n With their high scoring offense Creighton has amassed a fantastic 12-3 ATS record.<\/p>\n They have been favoured in every game but one this season and even though historically UNI plays them tough this is still a pretty good number as the Panthers struggle to score. \u00a0Not huge value but playable.<\/p>\n Spread Pick: \u00a0Creighton -13.5<\/strong> Panthers vs Blue Jays CBB Basketball Spread\/Handicapping The Northern Iowa program is kind of what started a nationwide fascination with the Missouri Valley Conference.\u00a0\u00a0For years this program was feared though now it is Creighton and Wichita State that are the beasts of the MVC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":180,"featured_media":59316,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1415],"tags":[6986,1477,4631,54097,4210,4694,34821,57760,57761],"class_list":["post-59289","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ncaa-basketball","tag-cbb-free-picks","tag-cbb-picks","tag-college-basketball-odds","tag-creighton-blue-jays","tag-ncaa-basketball-lines","tag-ncaa-hoops-predictions","tag-northern-iowa-panthers","tag-northern-iowa-panthers-vs-creighton-blue-jays","tag-panthers-vs-blue-jays"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59289","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/180"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=59289"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59289\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":59320,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59289\/revisions\/59320"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/59316"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59289"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=59289"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=59289"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
