Dave's College Basketball Picks, Feb. 8: Creighton at Northern Iowa

Creighton (18-6, 8-4) at Northern Iowa (17-6, 11-1)

Line: Northern Iowa -2

Creighton won their third game in a row on Wednesday at Drake 79-68. The Bluejays shot 50 percent from the field and were led by Booker Woodfox with 23 points. The Bluejays currently sit tied for second place in the conference, three games behind their opponents for Sunday.

It was business as usual for Northern Iowa on Wednesday as they defeated Bradley 61-58. Although the majority of their victories have been tight ones, the Panthers have just the one loss to cellar dweller Indiana State back on Dec. 28 and enjoy a three-game conference lead.

ATS

Creighton is 12-8 against the spread, including 7-3 on the road.

Creighton is 8-2 against the spread against Northern Iowa in their last 10 matchups.

Northern Iowa is 10-9 against the spread, including 4-4 at home.

Although their games have been close, Northern Iowa has found a way at the end of the ball game. Not sure they need to do so here, but I feel good about them finishing tough.
