San Diego State Aztecs vs Creighton Bluejays Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 11/26/24

Both of these teams are coming off of their first loss of the season, and there’s a little bit of uncertainty with Creighton heading into today’s game against the Aztecs. Steven Ashworth is questionable as he suffered a right ankle injury against Nebraska on Friday. Ashworth is a big part of this Blue Jays offense as he averages 16 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 6.4 assists per game. As we get ready for tip off, and knowing that Ashworth is questionable, I’m still leaning towards Creighton in this matchup and here’s why. 

San Diego State hasn’t played in over a week, and I think that will play a big role in today’s matchup as they try to shake off some rust.  Sure, you may argue that San Diego State just lost by 13 to a powerful Gonzaga team, but the Aztecs haven’t played anyone else this season to give me confidence to back them.  As for Creighton, sure the loss to Nebraska was ugly, but they’ve played well against other teams, plus they have Ryan Kalkbrenner who’s averaging 21.4 points, and 9.0 rebounds per game.  The Aztecs have Jared Coleman-Jones who is 6 ’10 and is comparable in size to Kalkbrenner who is 7′ 1, but I think Kalbrenner is way more talented.  Creighton is shooting 48.8% from the field, and San Diego State is shooting 43.9%. Even if Creighton is without Ashworth, I think they’ll find a way to get Kalbrenner open and he’ll have a huge game, making the Blue Jays my best bet of the day.
