Play: Creighton +3 -110
Time: 9:15 p.m. ET
Reasoning: Butler has played all 25 of its games with the same starting lineup, but that will change on Monday with the injury to Andrew Chrabascz (hand). He will be out 2-4 weeks. Chrabascz scored 13 in Saturday's game against Villanova before breaking a bone in his right hand. Chrabascz (11.1 ppg) scored the go-ahead points at the end of this season's first meeting, a 64-61 nail-biting win by the Bulldogs. Butler lost both games against the Blue Jays last season and fell by 28 in the contest at Creighton. On Janurary 21 against the Bulldogs the Blue Jays committed 19 turnovers and at home they average just 11.1. Creighton, which has won three of its last five, is 9-5 at home and is 170-30 over its last 12 seasons in that building. The Blue Jays have a huge advantage at the line and I think they can hang with Butler on the boards. Creighton's Rick Kreklow made a career-high six three-pointers on Saturday and he is shooting a Big East-best 49.1% from behind the arc.
Record: 284-205-10 (58.1%)
