This will be a classic Big East battle here on Tuesday night as two of the best teams in the conference face off and both of them will look for a quality win midway through the month of January. The Xavier Musketeers will travel to Nebraska to play the Creighton Blue Jays here in this one with huge NCAA tournament ramifications on the line for both of these teams heading into the last week of January. Both of these teams will be looking to pick up a crucial conference victory here on Tuesday night as they look to get things going in the right direction heading into the final month of regular season play with March Madness right around the corner.
Xavier has been putting up quality performances throughout the season despite the fact that they are still having somewhat of a down year. They will look to get things going in the right direction with a quality performance here on Tuesday night on the road against the Creighton Blue Jays, as they look to pick up a huge conference victory. Xavier comes into this game with 10 victories through their first 18 games of the season and they are still looking for that résumé building when they could get them one step closer to making the NCAA tournament as a potential at-large bid this season.
They will certainly need to finish the season on a strong note if they want to participate in the NCAA tournament this year and they will need to have a solid showing throughout the remainder of the regular season and in the conference tournament as well. Xavier stumbled out of the gate early in conference play and they come into this game with only four victories and seven games, but they do find themselves on a three game-winning streak at the moment. They will look for a fourth consecutive victory inside of conference play with another quality performance here on Tuesday night against the Creighton Blue Jays, and they look for their fifth conference victory of the season.

Creighton came into this season with high expectations as they arguably have two of the best players in the conference on their roster. As Ryan Kalkbrenner and Trey Alexander have been huge contributors to this Creighton Blue Jays team, and they will look to step up and deliver a quality performance once again here on Tuesday night at home. Creighton comes into this game ranked inside of the top 25 in the country, and they will look to move back up the rankings and get back into the top 10 with a string of solid performances throughout the rest of January and into February as well. They come into this game with 14 victories through their first 19 games of the regular season and they will look for their 15th victory of the season here on Tuesday night at home against Xavier.
Conference play has been a bit rocky for them as they are playing in one of the toughest conferences in the country this season and they have picked up five victories in eight games. They will look for their sixth conference victory of the season here on Tuesday night at home against Xavier, as they look to further establish themselves as a legitimate threat within the conference. They are coming off of an incredible three overtime victory against Seton Hall in their previous game, and they will look to grab a second consecutive victory here on Tuesday night for their fifth win, and their last six games.
Betting trends to consider in this matchup:
- Creighton is 8-1 at home
- Xavier is 1-3 on the road
- Creighton is 14-3 as a favorite
I expect this to be a close and competitive game throughout the early part of the contest, but in the end, I do look for the Creighton Blue Jays to pull away and pick up the victory. As I look for Xavier to keep this game close throughout most of the contest, but I do look for Creighton’s talent to pull away and help them cover the spread throughout this game on Tuesday night for a massive much-needed victory for the Blue Jays.
