Thursday’s College Basketball Crown action tips off late with a matchup between two teams looking to salvage something from a pair of disappointing seasons. The Rutgers Scarlet Knights and Creighton Bluejays will meet at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas in what doubles as a farewell for Creighton head coach Greg McDermott, who is retiring after 16 seasons on the Hilltop.
Below is a look at game info, current odds, and where the action is coming in at Hard Rock Bet Sportsbook.
Rutgers vs. Creighton at The Crown
The Bluejays (15-17) enter as 5.5-point favorites despite losing eight of their last 11 games, while Rutgers comes in at 14-19 on the season. Both teams have been idle for three weeks after bowing out of their respective conference tournaments on March 12.
Creighton will also be a bit shorthanded, as forwards Jackson McAndrew and Josh Townley-Thomas are out for the season, and guard Austin Swartz is not on the travel roster. Rutgers, on the other hand, is expected to have its full rotation available.
