The Creighton Bluejays pay out $20,000 on a $100 bet should they win this year's NCAA Tournament Championship.
They will face SDSU as a +2.5 favorite. Gambling911.com has the line at -1.5.
Ryan Kalkbrenner scored 19 but the fourth-seeded Bluejays (22-11) again left MSG empty-handed in a game against Villanova. Creighton has lost in all four trips to the Big East championship game, including 2014, 2017, and last season to Georgetown.
They did reach the Sweet 16 last season. Creighton has struggled on the offensive side of the ball this season.
The Bluejays have done well without point guard Ryan Nembhard, who is out for the rest of the season with a wrist injury.
