With the inaugural Jack Jones Hoopfest taking place at Michelob ULTRA Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, we are analyzing Saturday's marquee matchup between the Creighton Bluejays and BYU Cougars.

The Creighton Bluejays hope to end a three-game losing streak
Creighton Bluejays (6-3; 6-3 ATS) have won their first six games of the season including a 76-65 victory over No. 21 Texas Tech and a 90-87 victory against No. 9 Arkansas at the Maui Invitational. After losing to No. 14 Arizona 81-79, No. 2 Texas 72-67 on the road, and Nebraska 63-53 at home, the Bluejays have lost three straight games.
As a 15-point home favorite last Sunday, Creighton shocked its fans. The Bluejays trailed the Cornhuskers throughout the second half, allowing senior forward Derrick Walker to dominate in the paint. As a team, the Bluejays shot 10-for-40 from 3-point range, while Walker finished with 22 points on 11-for-16 shooting. Despite a 15/15 assist-to-turnover ratio, Creighton only made it to the free-throw line five times. Francisco Farabello led the Blue Jays with 16 points in 22 minutes.
