Creighton vs. DePaul Bet
Welcome back to another DePaul report from your completely unbiased two time alumnus of the most beautiful university in Chicago. Tonight, the Creighton Bluejays head into the South Loop coming off an impressive win over Seton Hall. On the other side, the Blue Demons are struggling, having lost four straight and, shockingly, not covering at the rate they were entering conference play. That stretch included a 6-1 ATS start in conference. Regression was always likely, but are the Blue Demons in position to grab a win against a subpar Creighton team? Let us get into it.
Defensive Identities
When in doubt, take the under. This feels like a spot where both defenses show up. Why? Because that is the identity of both teams. DePaul has built its entire season around defense. Head coach Chris Holtmann made that clear from the first practice. The defense has kept them competitive in many games. The offense, however, has kept them from finishing the job.
Creighton is still searching for its identity after losing key pieces from the past few seasons. On the road, the Bluejays rank 34th in adjusted defensive efficiency. They excel at keeping opponents off the line, attacking the glass, and defending the perimeter. Offensively, they have been underwhelming. Creighton ranks 32nd in two-point percentage and does a solid job attacking the rim. However, they do not get to the line often, do not convert free throws at a high rate, and their perimeter shooting ranks in the bottom 45 nationally.
At home, DePaul has hovered around a top 50 defense for most of the season. They do a strong job clogging the lane, which will matter against a Creighton team that offers little from beyond the arc. Even if the Bluejays try to generate outside looks, DePaul ranks 39th in three-point rate defense. Offensively, the Blue Demons have struggled at home, ranking 248th in effective field goal percentage, 283rd in two-point percentage, and near the bottom nationally in offensive block percentage.
The pace should not be blazing, though it may be slightly quicker than some metrics suggest. Haslametrics ranks DePaul 279th in tempo overall, but at home they rise to 160th on Bart Torvik. Creighton sits 222nd in overall pace and moves up to 181st on the road. Even with a modest bump in tempo, it does not concern me. Both teams hang their hats on defense. This sets up as a lower scoring game filled with tough shots and plenty of empty possessions.
