Scouting: Creighton (4-1) at Northwestern (3-0)

TV: BTN; Radio: WGN 720-AM
Radio: After having a full week to work on their matchup zone, the Wildcats face their toughest two non-conference tests in a span of 48 hours. Before Tuesday's visit from Georgia Tech, though, NU must try to tame a Bluejays squad whose only loss came on an Iowa State 3-pointer that shouldn't have counted because it came after the final buzzer. Creighton has four players in double figures led by coach's son Doug McDermott (14.4 ppg, 5.0 rpg). John Shurna (22.7 ppg, 5.0 rpg) and Drew Crawford (19.7 ppg, 5.3 rpg) are pacing the Wildcats, but problems loom if they can't reduce their 46.6 percent field-goal defense.
