Creighton vs Gonzaga prediction
Creighton vs Gonzaga best bet: Graham Ike Over 8.5 rebounds (-105)
The Gonzaga Bulldogs are coming off an 83-68 win against Oklahoma where they covered as 10.5-point favorites. Graham Ike led the Zags with 19 points and 11 rebounds in just 25 minutes.
Ike is a two-time First-team All-WCC selection, and he was one of the most productive players in the country last year on a per-minute basis. The 6-foot-9 forward averaged 17.3 points and 7.3 rebounds in just 22.9 minutes per game.
Ike has grabbed 11 boards in both of his games this season, and he tends to get more playing time in competitive games. That should lead to a heavier workload than usual tonight against the ranked Creighton Bluejays.
Creighton struggled on the glass in its season opener against South Dakota, surrendering 19 offensive rebounds to the Coyotes. The Bluejays have length in their frontcourt but lack toughness and athleticism.
This is a Creighton squad that lost four-time Big East Defensive Player of the Year Ryan Kalkbrenner in the offseason. His absence will be felt on the interior where Ike should control the boards.
Creighton vs Gonzaga same-game parlay
Ike hasn't just been a monster on the glass; he's also been a passing hub for Gonzaga. He dropped four dimes in each of the first two games and I expect him to facilitate for this offense again.
After years of being an offensive powerhouse that plays at a blazing-fast pace, we're getting some inflated totals in Gonzaga games. This year's version of the Zags doesn't have as much guard talent as previous years, lacking the 3-point shooting to eclipse some of the lofty totals we'll see.
The Bulldogs went 17.5 points Under the total in their first game this season, while going 15.5 points below the total in their last outing.
Creighton will try to slow the tempo down, and Gonzaga will rely on its interior scorers to get buckets. That should result in this game going below this lofty total.

Our beyond the arc SGP: Like Ike
Even if Ike has a big game, there's no guarantee the Zags cover this 11.5-point spread. Creighton has the offensive firepower to hang with the Zags, and analytics sites like KenPom, Bart Torvik, and Haslametrics have this line set between six to 10 points.
