Xavier vs. Creighton Odds & Betting Predictions - January 22, 2026

Xavier has averaged 93 points over their last two games, but those came in fast-paced matchups against Providence and Butler. Creighton plays at a much slower pace, which should limit Xavier’s total number of possessions. This will also be just Xavier’s 6th road game of the season compared to 9 games at home, so their points per game are a bit inflated due to playing a low % of games on the road so far. I’m not expecting Xavier to turn the ball over much or get to the free-throw line often, meaning a higher % of their possessions should end in shot attempts. Creighton has been much more of a 2-point funnel defense, which is the opposite of Xavier’s preferred offensive approach. I’m projecting this closer to 72.
