Key Storylines
- Gonzaga has opened the season 2‑0 and arguably looks more polished. They beat Oklahoma by 15 points in their last game and they will try to get another win over a team from one of the premier college basketball conference in the country here.
- Creighton arrives with a record of 1‑0. Their first win was a blowout win over South Dakota. This game will serve as a much bigger test for both of these teams given their recent histories of success in college basketball.
- Size could be the determining factor in this game. The Bluejays no longer have Ryan Kalkbrenner to patrol the painted area. That could mean a huge night for Graham Ike, who is more experienced and more physical than most of the bigs in college basketball right now.
- Both of these teams are ranked in the top 25 going into this contest. The winner of this game will shoot up the rankings, while the loser could find themselves out of the rankings early in the year. There is plenty of season left for both of these teams, but the stakes in this matchup are higher than those in most non-conference games in November.

Final Thoughts
I am expecting Gonzaga to win at home to stay unbeaten early in the season. As for the point spread, I think that Creighton will cover the number as an underdog on the road. The Bluejays are much better than the Oklahoma team that Gonzaga tore through in their last outing. The Zags should win this game but it should be a respectable, single-digit margin when all is said and done.
