With the spririt of the Super Bowl tomorrow, here’s a few props for this afternoon’s game.
Who will win the tip?
CU: -110
UNI: +105
Echenique wins tip more often than not
Who will make Creighton’s first 3-pt FG?
McDermott: +125 (It will be difficult to be double-teamed from beyond the arc. With room to shoot, Doug has shown this year to consistently his from the outside)
Manigat: +150 (He benefits from early double teams to Doug and Gregory as well penatration from Antoine)
Wragge: +250 (Will the Jays go without a 3-pointer before Coach Mac goes to the bench?)
Jones: +200 (Would need to get into the game and get a shot up before Ethan beats him to the punch)
Field: +400 (likely contenders to be Grant, Antoine, or Austin)
Over/under on the number of FG’s by Doug McDermott?
Over 8.5: -115
Under 8.5: +125
Earlier this season, Doug had an “off” night shooting just 7-15 against the Panthers. He will be the focus of the Panther defense again tonight. Will he still be able to get off 15 shots again? Will he hit one or two more?
Which number will be higher? Grant Gibbs assists or inches of snow Omaha receivs this weekend
Forecasters says Omaha is set to receive 6-10 inches of snow before all is said and done. Gibbs is averaging 5.8 assists per game. With the focus of the UNI defense on Doug, will it give Grant the opportunity to find other players or will he try and score more?
Will there be a technical foul on either bench?
Yes: +1500
No: -2500
Two level headed coaches squaring off tonight. Unless the referees let this game get out of control, I would expect the two to keep their cool.
