Butler vs. Creighton: Bettors Leaning Towards Bluejays
Our CBB Public Betting Information page indicates that 51% of public bettors are currently backing Creighton when it comes to the spread. This information is subject to change throughout the day, however, so be sure to check the link so you’re receiving the most up-to-date public betting data.
Ugly Shooting Line for Telfort
Jahmyl Telfort amassed 10 points (3-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists and three blocks over 37 minutes during Tuesday’s 85-71 loss to Xavier. Telfort led Butler in shot attempts Tuesday, but he found no rhythm despite a huge minutes share. Getting to the basket isn’t a huge part of his game, but the senior has limped to 49.3 percent shooting at the rim this season. He’s a bounce-back candidate Saturday against DePaul, as Telfort entered Tuesday’s game having knocked down a strong 37.8 percent of 45 catch-and-shoot threes this season. He has also compiled a sharp 57:30 AST:TO ratio overall.
Alexander on Scoring Rampage
Trey Alexander closed Saturday’s 85-62 victory over DePaul with 23 points (10-20 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 34 minutes. Alexander has posted at least 23 points in three consecutive contests, also racking up 21 rebounds and an 18:6 AST:TO ratio over that span. Creighton has posted a 7-1 record in conference play since the beginning of January. Alexander leads Creighton by accounting for 26.8 percent of the team’s possessions during his time on the court.
