ANALYSIS:
Despite what their win percentage might indicate, Creighton is a good team that can cause more than enough trouble for most opponents. Ranked 85th overall (out of 351) in our most recent ratings, they presently have a record of 14-19. They are also ranked by this site as the #9 team (out of 10) in the Big East (average ranking 53.9).

The primary strength for Creighton this year is offense. The team is ranked 63rd in efficiency on that end of the floor, and they'll rack up more than 106 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. Creighton will make a concerted effort to fire off quite a few three-pointers each game. The team ranks 31st in ratio of three-point attempts to total field goal attempts. When it comes to actually making their three-point attempts, the squad shoots a so-so 35.7% from beyond the arc vs. AO. Creighton also does a pretty good job of protecting the ball when they have possession and not allowing quick and easy baskets off of their own turnovers. The team's rating vs. AO for potential breakaway points allowed off of steals is 9.46, which ranks #39 in the country.

Creighton is also a fairly decent team on the defensive end of the court. The team ranks 129th nationally in defensive efficiency, allowing about 99 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Creighton is a solid rebounding team that will deny the opposition chances to score off of offensive rebounds. They have a rating of 13.27 vs. AO in potential points allowed off of second chances (ranked 40th in the country). If Creighton does exhibit a weakness on the defensive end of the floor, it'd likely be the team's unwillingness to take risks in order to score fast points off of the opposition's turnovers. The squad only has a rating of 8.65 in potential points scored off of steals vs. AO, which ranks 37th-worst in the college game.

Creighton has been playing some of its most efficient basketball of the season recently and is presently ranked 23rd in positive momentum.
