CREIGH @ KANSAS ST WILDCATS

Creighton faces its first road test

Creighton arrives 2-0 for its first road game of the season, while Kansas State is 1-1 after playing both games at home; the matchup is scheduled for Bramlage Coliseum on Tuesday night.

Enis has been productive without turnovers

Wes Enis has scored 41 points across Creighton’s first two games without a turnover; Kansas State’s backcourt assignment against him is a key matchup.

Kansas State’s perimeter volume is a notable matchup factor

Kansas State made 17 threes against CSUN while attempting a school-record 41, so Creighton must limit clean perimeter looks.

Recent series momentum favors the Wildcats

Kansas State won the most recent meeting 83-76 in Omaha in December 2025 and has won four straight in the series; Tuesday renews the home-and-home matchup.

Treat the older injury listing cautiously

An older report lists Timotej Malovec as questionable, but without a day-before update, that alone does not establish that he is unavailable or has a changed role.

Pick Ideas

Angles drawn from the matchup analysis above and refreshed as the news changes. They are a separate read from the LineCrush pick for this matchup, so the two can land on different sides.

Kansas State team threes, with a conservative number

Consider Kansas State made-threes over only at 10.5 or lower; otherwise pass if the market has priced in its high-volume perimeter approach.

Be selective with the full-game total

Without a confirmed line, avoid a pregame total; if it opens unusually high, consider the under rather than paying a premium on a small early-season scoring sample.

Keep Creighton moneyline price-sensitive

Consider a Creighton moneyline only below your assessed fair odds, not simply because the Bluejays are unbeaten.
