The skinny: This could be a scoring fest. The No. 21-ranked Bluejays are hot, trouncing Tulsa Monday behind Doug McDermott’s 35 points and shooting 58.6 percent from the field as a team. He should have a nice scoring duel with Northwestern’s John Shurna, who had 32 points against EIU Sunday and hit 9 three-pointers. Creighton ranks sixth in the nation in scoring at 86 points per game. The Bluejays average 9.7 3-point makes per game, while the Wildcats are at 9.5 per game.
