Current Records: Creighton 2-0; Nebraska 1-1

What to Know

The Nebraska Cornhuskers are 1-5 against the Creighton Bluejays since December of 2015, but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit on Tuesday. The Cornhuskers will look to defend their home court against Creighton at 7 p.m. ET. Both teams seek to continue their momentum from their previous wins.

Nebraska beat the Sam Houston Bearkats 74-65 last week. Nebraska can attribute much of their success to guard Bryce McGowens, who had 29 points along with five rebounds.

Meanwhile, Creighton netted a 51-44 victory over the Kennesaw State Owls last Thursday.

Nebraska is the favorite in this one, with an expected 3.5-point margin of victory. But bettors beware: they are 0-2 against the spread when favored.

The wins brought the Cornhuskers up to 1-1 and the Bluejays to 2-0. Two last-season stats to keep an eye on: Nebraska enters the contest with only 14.1 turnovers per game on average, good for 28th best in college basketball. Less enviably, Creighton is 348th worst in college basketball in takeaways, with only 12.6 on average. So the cards are definitely stacked against Creighton.
