Latest Odds : CRE -6.5 Total 155
Xavier has to learn how to hold onto a lead if they are going to be taken seriously this year. The Musketeers have been leading teams in the 2nd half all the way down to the final five minutes quite a few times this year only to end up giving up the games. If Xavier is able to hold onto those late leads, they would be doing quite a bit better than what they are right now and would actually be considered a serious threat, instead of a team that looks like they are going to the NIT if they even make that.
The Musketeers on the season have been able to score only 73.6 points a game, but the defense for the Xavier team has given up 72.3 points a game. The Xavier squad has managed to get 14.3 assist a game, but have ended up pulling down 36.2 boards a game.

Free Betting Pick: Creighton Bluejays -6.5
The Musketeers when playing on the road seem to forget the offense at the Cintas Center and the defense tends to slip up quite a bit. However, the Xavier squad has proved again that even if a team is trailing in the second half you can bet on the other team with how poorly the closeout defense is for Xavier. Look for the Bluejays not to even have to worry about this as the Bluejays are able to really run their set and disrupt the Muskies at will. Final Score, Creighton Bluejays win and cover ATS 80-66.
